Wow! you're much daring than me and taking another mammoth task of using Kickstarter to fund to publish your memoir. I am writing mine on Substack each week and publishing it as I go. When I finish I will compile it in the form of a book. But you have given me idea now. For my next book I might go Kickstarter way. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Knowing your target audience is crucial. For my 19th book, a memoir/travelogue titled My Germany, I helped the publisher by personally contacting Jewish Studies programs around the country, German cultural institutes, and universities with German Studies. That got me invited to do dozens of readings and talks in the U.S. and Canada, and two book tours in Germany. The touring lasted about five years.
Awesome, awesome post, Sarah! 🙌
Awesome!!!
Congrats on making this book into something beautiful! Sounds amazing and I have so much respect for the work it requires.
