Lessons from a Kickstarter Campaign

As aspiring or self-published authors, it's important to think about how you're going to fund the launch of your book. Many authors I know have turned to Kickstarter, a crowd-sourcing campaign with a mission to bring creative projects to life.

Is Kickstarter Right for Your Book Launch?

Thinking about starting a Kickstarter campaign? I interviewed children's book author Lindsay Achtman about her experience using Kickstarter to successfully fund her book. We talked about:

  • What is the basic framework of a Kickstarter campaign?

  • What were the specifics of your Kickstarter campaign? What did you offer?

  • Where do you see the biggest success in your Kickstarter campaign?

  • What were some lessons learned from Kickstarter?

  • What are the top 2-3 takeaways you would tell someone considering Kickstarter for their book launch?
