Would you like to win a one-hour Skype session to speak about your crowdfunding project?
In November I will be speaking at the Sutherland Shire Writers’ Festival – known as Writers’ Unleashed – on crowdfunding for writers. It’s often quite tough for festivals to get funding and this year they are relying solely on ticket sales to cover the costs of their program.
In order to raise awareness and some extra money they are also running an Ebay auction with books, t-shirts and mentorships with some authors.
I volunteered to support them by offering a one-hour Skype session on crowdfunding. Although this is a Sydney-based festival, you can of course access this Skype session from anywhere in the world – to focus on your particular questions about crowdfunding.
Please spread the word if you know of anyone who may want to bid on this session – it only has a few more days to run and you may bag yourself a bargain! My regular fees for an hour would be a lot more than than this is likely to go for!
You would also be supporting writers and readers so it’s a double win!
Happy Crowdfunding!

One of the reasons I became interested in crowdfunding was to be able to suggest a funding option to writers. Although crowdfunding is not a magic source of money, you do have a chance of success – with preparation, crafting how to tell your crowdfunding story, some creative rewards and hard work during your campaign. Potentially you can raise funds but also promote your writing project to your target audience and beyond. There is also the benefit of obtaining pre-sales of your book and feedback on your work.
