Do you know about Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious projects. They believe that: “A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide AND a large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.”

My friend and fellow blogger, Cathryn Swan of Washington Square Blog, is writing a book called “The B-girl Guide: In the Context of Now – Living Your Life in An Environmentally, Animal & People-Friendly Way” and she’s using Kickstarter to fund it.

She tells me that on Kickstarter, the end call for funding of your project is the most important one, as she will only receive funds pledged IF she reaches her goal of $6500. With your help, Cathyrn can meet her goal. In her own words:

When I decided to go the Kickstarter route to raise funds to finish writing my book, I was excited about having a video on the site to promote the project (something the Kickstarter site greatly recommends). However, when I set out to make, shoot, produce, edit and finalize one, a few challenges arose. (I could write a book on this in itself!)

So, I’m happy to report that THE VIDEO FOR MY BOOK PROJECT IS NOW UP!
