We are self-publishing a children's book
& we need your help to make it reality!
This is Lyndsay's first children’s book.
She works as a graphic designer and illustrator while attending the Alberta College of Art and Design. See more of her artwork at lyndsaywasko.com
Down in the Jungle is the second
story Maxine has written. She also
has a chapter book in the middle of
its second edit. Check out her other
creations at turtledreams.ca
What is Kickstarter?
Kickstarter is the new democratic way of funding creative projects.
How does it work?
Give some - get some. Pledge money to a project and the project creators will give you something special in return! If the funding goal is not reached in the specified time frame, no one’s cards get charged and the project does not receive any of the funds.
Why should I help Kickstart a project?
You will get something awesome in return for your pledge and you will feel the satisfaction of knowing that you helped a creative project succeed. Also, there is zero-risk to you if the project is not funded.
