Print My Books! How & Tao of Auddev

Campaign deadline: November 30, 2014

Hi!

My name is Shoshana, and I live and breathe audience development for the arts.  I have been working for several years with artists and arts organizations to build happy and loyal audiences, and I have been fortunate to work with amazing people from around the globe! 

I have published two eBooks on the topic: The How & The Tao of Audience Development for the Arts. Despite the growing popularity of digital book options, I am finding that people are still wishing for print versions of  my books.  I would like to convert these two eBooks to be available for print in the very near future.

In order to be able to convert quickly and easily, I would like to place an order with Lulu.com.  It costs $999 per book to convert.  At the moment, I do not have this amount handy.  I keep my rates extremely low in order to be affordable for all types of arts businesses.  My budget is limited.

I hope you will consider, as my friend, follower and supporter, chipping in $10 to make this dream a reality for me.   Donations of any amount would be appreciated.

After building audiences and raising money for various non-profit organizations and artists, this is the first time I have attempted to raise money for one of my own projects.  
 
I am not the best at asking for help for myself.   However, I feel that the dream of having my books in print is bigger than myself.  I believe my perspective in print can help even more organizations and artists build better audiences and loyal support.  

This is my mission, to help create a healthier arts world and to bring more awareness and support for the arts through the use of audience development.

To thank you for your contribution, I would like to list your name on my website and on a special page in the printed editions of both of these books. 

Thank you for your consideration.  Thank you in advance for your contribution and support.  Thank you for listening! 

Cheers to happy and loyal audiences,
