Kickstarter for Authors: My Plan to Raise $15k to Self-Publish my Book

Support my Kickstarter:

Call me crazy, but I have a goal of raising $15,000 to self-publish my novel. How am I going to accomplish this? Crowdfunding through Kickstarter. I've self-published six novels at this point, and every book I publish costs thousands of dollars. But what if you could make that money back before the book is even published? This is where Kickstarter comes in. Today, my Kickstarter is live for my friends to lovers sweet romance, and I'm going to break down everything I've done to set up the Kickstarter for success, to hopefully hit my $15,000 goal, so that you can do the same.
