Crowdfunding Coach for Authors – Get Your Book Fully Funded!
Launching a book through crowdfunding is exciting—but also overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
I help authors strategize, build, and launch successful crowdfunding campaigns on platforms like Kickstarter, BackerKit, and IndieGoGo. Whether you’re aiming for $6K or $25K+, I provide personalized coaching to guide you through every step, from audience-building to launch day and beyond.
This isn’t a generic publishing course. It’s hands-on, 1:1 expert coaching designed to give your campaign its best shot at success.

Who is this NOT for?
❌ Authors expecting to run a campaign with zero marketing investment – You’ll need to invest in ads, newsletters, or strategic promotions.
❌ Authors who refuse to build an audience – Crowdfunding works best with engaged readers.
❌ Authors looking for a “set-it-and-forget-it” approach – Success requires strategy, effort, and commitment.

Projects
As Much As the Stars - $11k+ on Kickstarter
Tricia Stone-Shumaker and I developed a strategic plan to activate her Facebook audience, leverage her personal network, and conduct email outreach during the pre-launch period to raise awareness of her Kickstarter launch. She did a great job in generating $11k+ on Kickstarter.
Dante and the Magic Lomi Stick
Damascinus and I focused on engaging his existing personal and professional network to get as many readers as possible before his launch. Since his book was already written, we devised a pre-launch strategy to leverage interest in his book by sharing his story.
Meet the Wild - $10K Kickstarter
Lindsay and I share a love for nature play children's books and together we worked out a plan for her to interview a panel of nature play experts to hold a virtual summit for audience building and outreach prior to her launch. She successfully Kickstarted $10K with 175 backers!
Fully Accessible Winnie the Pooh - non-profit Kickstarter
This was the first Kickstarter I consulted on that was for a non-profit organization. Together we came up with creative ways to reward their supporters (who were new to rewards-based crowdfunding), campaign graphic design, rewards, and marketing strategy.
Wonderful World of Zuri Rose - $31K Kickstarter
Makini Regal was a wonderful author to work with on this campaign. Together we planned out an Instagram influencer strategy, campaign page graphic design, rewards, and outreach marketing.
