WOW!
OH MY GOODNESS! In the past 24 hours, I've been the top Staff Pick and gotten a few more backers to bring me over my goal! AND there are still 28 days in my Kickstarter timeline! (Yep, I'm using lots of exclamation points...I'm excited).
Thanks to all of you who have backed my project, and those who are thinking about it--thanks in advance! What will I do if I exceed the funding goal?
- Start with a larger print run of books
- Advertise in targeted locations (local press, Ravelry banners, etc)
- Purchase business cards to support the project
- Reach out to more distribution channels
- Lower the list price of the book, because I'll have had more capital to start with and I can pass the kindness on to the consumers & readers who will (hopefully) enjoy my book in the future
Last, but not least, I'm hoping to have a kick off event in the Madison area when the book is launched. Keep an eye on this page for more information as it becomes firmed up!
(oh, and I'm posting a look sheet of the book so knitters can see the yarn requirements, etc for each project)
