Are you a Book Dragon? You know, a book lover who is so much more than a mere worm. Not only do you love to read, but you hoard books and all things book-related. Your shelves are piled high with paperbacks and hard covers, many of them signed, as well as stuffies and other paraphernalia for your favorite books. Books are life! If this is you, you definitely want to know about Kickstarter for books.
First, what is Kickstarter? It’s a crowdfunding platform specifically made for creatives, and here you will find tens of thousands of projects related to books and reading. What are projects? Brand new offerings from authors and publishers that aren’t on the market yet because they need your support.
You can consider the site another online bookstore but with books in formats not even published yet! And you get to play a role in ensuring they’ll be published. As a backer of a project, you can be involved in the production of the next bestseller!
Basically, Kickstarter is a true treasure trove of goodness for Book Dragons like you.
7 Reasons Why You’ll Love Kickstarter
- Your favorite author might have a new book available exclusively on Kickstarter. Be among the first and perhaps only readers to enjoy it!
- Your favorite book or series may have a special edition with all the extras that nobody else has. Think metallic stamped covers, leather-binding, custom sprayed edges, and exclusive artwork inside. Beautiful books that make your heart swell with joy and awe when you see them on your bookshelf. And they’re only available through a Kickstarter project.
- Your favorite fandom may have exclusive tie-ins to the series and characters, such as card decks, games, guidebooks, and special merchandise, again only available on Kickstarter.
- Get exclusive artwork of your favorite characters and scenes.
- Be introduced to unique reading and book-related items that haven’t been brought to market yet, including reading lamps, shelf decor, device protectors, reading journals, and so much more.
- Discover new-to-you authors and books that may become your next favorite thing. Besides their Kickstarter project, check out their other books already out in the world.
- By backing an author’s Kickstarter project, you show them how much you love their work. You become a super-fan and a real Book Dragon! AND your help keeps the author writing and publishing more books for you to love.
Supporting Kickstarter projects is easy: you simply pick a reward tier offered in a project, and you’ll only be charged at the end of the campaign if the project meets its funding goal. Which means you’ll get your reward! There are also options to “add on” other items from the author or publisher, including more books. And what Book Dragon doesn’t love more books?
If you haven’t discovered Kickstarter for books yet, check out the current live campaigns, then be sure to return often as new campaigns are added every day. Also, don’t forget to follow your favorite authors on social media and/or sign up for their newsletters so you can find out when they have a new Kickstarter project.
