It's day two of Booktopia, and I'm pleased to announce that we met the minimum funding goal.
YAY!
This is where crowdfunding can be a little confusing. Does this mean it's over? What are you going to do for the next several weeks?
Well-- here's what meeting our initial funding goal early does. It allows us to HAVE SOME FUN!
Since crowdfunding is all or nothing, meeting the goal means we can keep what we have and move forward with the project, but exceeding the goal can make some truly amazing things happen!
I have lots of plans, but let's roll out one at a time.
If we can hit $3,000 (and I know we can) I will create an amazing, kid-friendly poster that teaches kids about the 3/3/3 rule and ways to make dogs feel welcome. It will be in kid-friendly language, with funny characters from The Odd Dog collection. I will produce both a physical poster, and put it on the back of dust jacket.
Just think-- now the dust jacket can serve a higher purpose!
This poster will be one more tool in our arsenal to teach kids and young families about the 3/3/3 rule. If you're in, please help by sharing the campaign out. Also, if you haven't pledged yet, please consider doing so! Every pledge counts, and every new backer encourages someone else to give the project a shot.
Oh! Let's have a quick PSA before I leave.
I'm honored to cross-collab with Nocola Williams, a dear friend and fellow author, on her new book, Bugzee and the Bees. This book is beautiful, educational, and FUN! If you haven't yet, please check it out and support her by backing and/or sharing. Not only are you supporting minority representation in the beekeeping sphere, you will receive some swag for your troubles!
If you support both campaigns, you'll get an exclusive greeting card with our characters. Can you say cuteness overload? As an added bonus, its profound message will remind of you four other queen bees from the 80s.
Thanks, as always, for listening! Please check out Nocola's campaign, keep sharing this one, and please take a moment to give your voice to the poll below.
Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for your support!
