You all will be pleased to know that over the weekend, #BlackVampireProject met its first funding goal of $3,890! Isn’t that awesome news? I am so grateful to all of you who have already donated what they could and shared this campaign far and wide. We reached this first goal in record time. I can’t believe I started to not even do a crowd-funding campaign. I am so glad I was convinced that it could work.
Because of everyone’s hard work, the cover designer and editors will be paid. Some publicity will also be covered, including sending review copies of the novel out to magazines, journals, and leaders in literature. And of course, I will be able to visit just about 20 colleges and universities to inspire future novelists, poets, and essayists.
But it’s not over. There are 17 more days left in the campaign. Seventeen days to raise $1777. That makes our new goal $6000.
$6,000 will ensure that additional schools are added to the writing tour.
$6,000 will ensure that I can pay for an additional round of editing.
$6,000 will pay for a public relations assistant who can do all the things I don’t have time to do while I am editing the final draft.
$6,000 will give
Birth of a Dark Nation the sort of start that
Lazarus deserved to get in 2005, but couldn’t because of my lack of resources.
$6,000 and all we need to get there is $1,777. And we have 17 whole days to do it!
It’s not over. Let’s go.
