The start of fall here in the northern hemisphere has brought with it a number of fantastic Kickstarter campaigns for writers. Here are the latest two that I’m backing:

Go Creative! Planning Program for Authors & Poets from Orna Ross.

I have trouble staying the course with planners but I have high hopes for this system because, as the description says, this is a planning method that emphasizes intuition, imagination, and flexibility as much as structure, data-driven goals, and systematic processes. So, not so rigid that I’ll feel stifled by it.

This campaign ends on Tuesday, November 21 2023 4:11 AM EST.

One of the latest trends in the indie author community is the focus on direct sales. (Do you know that I have a store where you can buy directly from me?)

Monica Leonelle and Russell Nohelty, well known for teaching writers how to run successful Kickstarter campaigns, are running a Kickstarter right now under their Writer MBA company. It’s called Direct Sales Mastery for Authors: The Definitive Guide. I really like their approach to figuring out how to apply direct sales to your business.

This campaign ends Thursday, January 4 2024 11:00 PM EST.

This year, Kickstarter is definitely providing a good portion of the resources I’m using to grow my business. Who knows, maybe some day I’ll even do a Kickstarter of my own!
