My first Kickstarter Campaign for RIP Corey, My Friend Died, It Sucks — Short Graphic Novel ends on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at 9:00 pm PT

The update as of December 31, 2022:

77% funded with 3 days to go
• 62 backers pledged $8,976 of my 11,700 goal, with $2,724 left to raise
• 97% of the money pledged is from people I know and reached out to primarily by email or Facebook posts on my personal page
• I’ll be trying more frequent posts and hashtags this week.
• I explored having a marketing professional do major outreach daily to multiple social media platforms. Their quote was a few thousand dollars, which doesn’t make sense for me. I don’t have the time or patience to sign up for and learn multiple platforms right now, but I may try.
• My daughter just helped me make my first TikTok video this evening.
• Ok, I just logged back into my LinkedIn which I haven’t touched for 13 years. I posted the Kickstarter and sent a few direct messages to old friends.

I’ll let you know how it turned out. If you can’t wait, here’s the link to find out the status:

RIP Corey, My Friend Died, It Sucks — Short Graphic Novel

Thank you for all your support in getting me to this point in my self-publishing journey.
Happy New Year!

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.

We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
