Ever think of raising money for a book?

How about a book series that you’d write?

Whether you’re an illustrator, author, or jus want to impact the lives of other people, there’s nothing stopping you from creating an independent publishing project on Kickstarter!

In the past, the only thing that held new authors back was… funding.

Now, that problem has been solved.
