New Rewards!
Friends:
Our Kickstarter campaign is roaring along. With 20 days to go, we're more than halfway to our stretch goal (and the beginning of the Unstuck fiction podcast). We've been overwhelmed by the response so far. Thank you!
SIGNED BOOKS BY LENNON AND MENO
In case you missed it, our $60 backers can now receive signed, personalized copies of the new Familiar, by J. Robert Lennon, or Office Girl, by Joe Meno. (At the time of this update, we have three of each book left.)
HANDMADE UNSTUCK BOOKMARK
As a special thanks to all of our backers, we're throwing in a new bonus: everyone whose reward includes a print copy of Unstuck #2 will receive a handmade Unstuck bookmark (like the one on the welcome screen at unstuckbooks.org).
At the risk of making too big a deal out of what is, at the end of the day, a bookmark: this is an awfully cool bookmark! Instead of standing bolt upright between the pages like your average humdrum content-to-follow-the-crowd bookmark, this one perches, bright and bold, on the corner of the book. In the bookmark world, it's a bit of a peacock: plum, paisley, and proudly eccentric. (Was I too quick to concede that this is "just a bookmark?" I'm starting to feel like it's a big deal.)
READ INTERVIEWS WITH OUR CONTRIBUTORS AND EXCERPTS FROM THEIR WORK
We're midway through the second week of our interview series. Come visit our site to read lively conversations with authors Arthur Bradford, Aimee Bender, Lindsay Hunter, Meghan McCarron, Joe Meno, Karin Tidbeck, Matthew Vollmer, and Leslie What.
More is on the way! Each weekday, we'll publish a new interview; J. Robert Lennon, Amelia Gray, Rachel Swirsky and Matthew Derby are coming up in the next couple of weeks.
HELP US GET TO 200 UNIQUE DONORS!
If you have friends who might want to donate $1 to Unstuck, please ask them to join our campaign! Every dollar that comes in makes a difference, and there are benefits for the magazine, when it comes to grant applications and the like, in demonstrating that we have a broad base of support.
Cheers,
Matt Williamson
