You’ve written a children’s picture book or are thinking of writing one. But how will you get it out in the world?
Crowd-funding is revolutionizing how artists and creators get their work into the hands of paying buyers. For independent writers, Kickstarter provides a compelling platform, one where you can build an audience for a book before it even exists. Even more importantly, it gives you access to a marketplace of awesome people whose feedback can be critical to your book's successful launch.
In The Ultimate Guide to Kickstarting a Children’s Book, Kickstarter creator Emily Grosvenor walks you through the process of refining your idea for the marketplace, identifying your audiences, launching your book project on Kickstarter, and making collaborative art creation work for you.
