Oh my god. It's finally here. The final week of the Project Tasman crowdfunding is finally here.
Girl (non-gendered). I'm so tired. Admittedly most of that has nothing at all to do with writing or with this campaign. But I do think that once the crowdfunding ends, I might sleep for 24 hours straight. Or at least I'd like to.
Since the project started back on August 3rd, some really cool things have happened! Project Tasman was fully funded in under 10 hours. We hit the first stretch goal. I got to show off the cover and title for the earned short story about Brielle's background. And, as of less than an hour before writing up this post, the book got its 100th backer!
I know I said it on BlueSky a bit earlier, but I am so incredibly grateful to be in this position. This book means the world to me. I took a risk crowdfunding it because I felt that this book was worth all the stress, the worrying, the effort. It is. And I am so thankful that so many of you feel the same way.
We have approximately $775 to go until the next stretch goal where everyone who ordered art prints will get a third art print with their order and an alternate cover for the hardback version will be unlocked. BackerKit's little trackery thing I have on my end thinks we'll end just short of that goal. And if that happens, I would understand. So many people have already been so supportive of me. But, selfishly, I'd love to get there. And to the next goal in an additional $1,500 after that. An even the final stretch goal at a quarter million so I can quit my job and write full-time. But even if those don't happen -- even if not a single additional dollar flows into this campaign, I am so proud of taking a chance on myself and on this book.
I plan to have a wrap up stream on Friday night before the campaign's end at 10pm Eastern to celebrate the end of funding. I'd love to see you there. Until then, I'm going to do my best to keep drumming up interest in this book. I'd love it if you'd help me do the same.
