Publisher Description
Having successfully funded seven Kickstarters for her comic Boston Metaphysical Society, writer/creator, Madeleine Holly-Rosing shares her very specific and practical strategies for running a successful crowdfunding campaign with a goal of under 10K in this second expanded edition. Ms. Holly-Rosing has also taught this as a class at Pulp Fiction Books and Comics in Culver City, as well as lectured at Scriptwriters Network and Dreamworks Animation, as well as other institutions.
The second edition of this book covers choosing a platform, social media, public relations, preparing your email list, interviews/podcasts, reaching out at Comic Cons and other events, crunching those numbers, avoiding postage pitfalls as well as developing your Kickstarter homepage, pre-launch strategy, campaign strategy and fulfillment. The book is designed for individual creators who cannot afford to hire a team or a PR person.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This halting novel of conspiracy and magic, the first prose novel tied to Holly-Rosing's Boston Metaphysical Society graphic novel universe (Boston Metaphysical Society: The Scourge of the Mechanical Men, etc.), brings readers through the door into an intriguing alternate history setting but fails to forge a new path beyond it. In this version of 1872, America is ruled by wealthy families known as the Great Houses. Jonathan is the leader of a great house who is caught up in a business plot; Samuel is a former Pinkerton detective, haunted by his actions and trying to atone by working as a freelance detective; and Elizabeth is a medium just discovering her power. As the characters move through Boston, they are pulled into darkness and tragedy. Unfortunately, readers will need an understanding of the broader world Holly-Rosing has created in order to fully appreciate this tie-in, and the final sacrifice falls flat. Fans of the graphic novels may enjoy this prequel, but the uninitiated will feel disconnected from it. (BookLife)
