Writing for a year, actually 1,410 hours, my 4th book is done. Over 500 pages with 120+ pictures, The Engaged Heart is my whole life memoir.
When I started, I thought I would write it and offer it only on kindle. The Hungry Heart and The Passionate Heart are available on kindle now.
Then people started asking for a signed paper edition of the new one. They said they wanted to hold it, write in the margins, stuff it in a suitcase.
I don't have the money for my designer to format for print (very different from kindle), a big print run or storage. I investigated a bit and found out that my printer, Worzalla, offers both Print on Demand and recycled paper. I can order in small affordable increments and will not have the problem of climate-controlled storage.
Watching campaigns on kickstarter inspired me to give it a go. With quotes from both my graphic designer and printer, $4,000 would assure The Engaged Heart would go to print. I hope you will consider becoming a backer. There are lots of rewards; signed books, postcards, movie screenings.
Maybe you don't know what kickstarter is. It is a collective funder which vets a project, posts serious ones, and only pays out if the goal is met. In fact, if the goal not met, no one is charged for their pledge. Stop by, pick out a reward and make a pledge.
This is a wild ride but I already made my commitment. Seems I made it a long time ago! Thanks for pitching in and being a part of this latest adventure.
