Should I Crowdfund my book? 7 Questions to Help Authors Know for SureĬrowdfunding is not for everyone. Currently we’re hoping to reach some stretch goals. We regrouped and put the project up on Indiegogo, and fully funded after a week. ![]() I pitched the project to Kickstarter and was turned down. My friend Thomas Umstattd here at Author Media had recently run a successful Kickstarter campaign for MyBookTable, and he offered to help me navigate the world of crowdfunding. I address why I’m not going with Print on Demand on this post. The problem? I didn’t have the funds to hire an editor, pay for formatting, or fund an initial print run. So last spring I decided to publish it myself and do it right. Sexual abuse isn’t exactly dinner table conversation, and the shame associated with it makes people keep it silent. I knew how much heartache lived in this world, where people hurt in silence. Yet the message of the book burned inside me. I shopped the book to publishers, but they passed on it. ![]() I wrote Not Marked last spring after I wrote a post about sexual abuse for Deeper Story. ![]() Backgroundįirst, let me tell you about my project and how it came about. While I was in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, I received quite a few questions from authors about how I went about it, and would crowdfunding be a good idea for them. ![]() Black hole comic5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In this classic John Kricfalusi episode, "Black Hole", Commander Hoek and Cadet Stimpy are sucked into the hideous vortex of a black hole and have to deal with the atmosphere making them go crazy.

Other passages would glide over the surface of my consciousness, looking for in but finding none. ![]() There were times when the sheer ridiculous made me laugh out loud. And the ideas are packed together so densely as to make resistance futile. This is an attack on American culture and racism and the page is his battlefield and the words are his foot soldiers. There are ideas at work in this novel that are constantly clashing and rehashing the world it is creating and the world it is ripping off. That’s how I felt when I was reading The Sellout by Paul Beatty. Sometimes you know a book is good because you really have very little notion what’s going on half the time. Sometimes you know a book is good because it made you feel empowered. Sometimes you know a book is good when you can’t stop thinking about it because you were so drawn into its world.

Adults will need to explain the last scene as Benjy helps his baby brother-who looks like Richard Nixon. The message is upfront, but the silliness, á la The Simpsons (for which the author writes), will grab readers. ![]() The clever cover is even designed to look like a five-dollar bill. What keeps the story from being grotesque are Catrow’s typical exaggerated caricatures that expand the brief text with humor and puns (a band-aid on Millard Fillmore Dam). The camp experience brings Benjy friends and an appreciation for his face and the way he looks. School teasing is the worst part: “Hey, Stinkin’ Lincoln! Split any rails lately?” His parents send him to Camp What-Cha-Ma-Call-It where all the kids look like things: the Mona Lisa, a frog, a toaster, the backside of a horse. Every year, his birthday gift is the same-a stovepipe hat. From the day he is born, Benjy looks like Honest Abe, complete with protruding ears, wart, and beard. Benjy looks like Abraham Lincoln as only Catrow can evoke. ![]() ![]() The Trial famously opens with its protagonist, Josef K., being arrested for some unspecified crime, and in the course of that novel (spoilers alert!), he finds it difficult to prove his innocence, not least because he doesn’t know what specific crime he has been charged with. In this connection, it’s worth remembering that Kafka was at work on his novel The Trial when he wrote ‘In the Penal Colony’, and in some respects we might view the latter text as a sort of pendant or offshoot from that longer and more ambitious work. He can variously be interpreted as the Old Testament God, Yahweh (in the English translations of Kafka’s story, ‘Commandant’ is close to ‘Commandment’, reminding us that in the Old Testament, God gave Moses the so-called Ten Commandments as a sign of his divine rule) or as Jesus, given that he ‘died’ and it is believed that he will return to the land at some unspecified time in the future. ![]() ![]() ![]() A religious or theological analysis of ‘In the Penal Colony’ also readily makes sense if we view the Commandant as God. ![]() Undefeated book steve sheinkin5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The highlight of those years was a summer I spent in Central America, where I worked on a documentary on the streets of Nicaragua.Īfter college I moved to Washington, D.C., and worked for an environmental group called the National Audubon Society.

As a kid my favorite books were action stories and outdoor adventures: sea stories, searches for buried treasure, sharks eating people… that kind of thing. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, and my family lived in Mississippi and Colorado before moving back to New York and settling in the suburbs north of New York City. ![]() |
