Okay, first of all HUGE CONGRATS FOR LAUNCHING YOUR PUBLISHING COMPANY! As someone who has tried to break into traditional publishing (no success yet) and also self-published (with some success), I'm so thrilled for you!!!
Second, I love stories like this, where people come together to contribute to something bigger and help each other out. Crowdfunding is awesome, allowing people to contribute to someone else's dream and reminding us that there are so many good people in the world.
I wish you the greatest success with your publishing company! :)
Just you wait. Tomorrow, I'm publishing the post about how this campaign became a success, and it is a story both moving and thrilling!
Thank you!
