I Talked To Kickstarter's Head of Book Publishing

[@themightypen1530]

$41 million frickin` dollars?! Yeah that should just about cover the cost of writing a book. Good for him.

Fascinating interview! I’m curious to do some of the research she mentioned even without any plans to launch a kickstarter. She made the entire process sounds incredibly interesting.

Cheers Michael!

Great video, Jed! And best of luck with your upcoming campaign!

"Harper Collins was just N board." 16 no kidding. They have the authors doing their fundraising and marketing for them. Whoever reads this, please stop allowing traditional pubs to rob you or authors. Leverage Kickstarter and other spaces but publish yourself!

Fantastic interview! It's a great look behind the scenes. Yet deep inside, it makes me sad, because these sort of kickstarters are only possible when an author already has a huge established platform. This isn't really for people who are just getting started, however, at the same time, it gives a sense of hope... something to grow towards 🙂

The most epic of journeys begins with a single step.

@@themightypen1530 I 100% agree. That said, it can be very disheartening for starting writers to see that the most successful tactics are simply still out of reach for them. Persistance is key! Growth is the goal 🙂

Great interview, Jed, and a nice prelude to your plans to do your own Kickstarter project with KoD, which I'm certain will be very successful!

Some friends of mine ran a Kickstarter for their zombie series and did well. (for normal people versions of well).

Fascinating interview Jed! Can't wait to see your next project launch on Kickstarter.

[@Ohemaamary]

Wow that’s amazing that people are able to raise money on kickstarter. I’ve been trying for a while with no success and I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong.
