Help a Little Fish in a Big Pond
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
I am a reader, book reviewer, published author and writer who, this year, has written five books. Writing one book is hard enough, but writing five while dealing with life's unavoidable hardships; illness, job loss, failing business, death and suddenly and almost simultaneously becoming my husband's caregiver, took looking back to realize I may very well have succeeded in accomplishing the impossible. That's why I need your help. I want the books I've worked so hard to write to be commercial quality, so that I am no little fish in a big literary pool no more.
I am asking for a $6000 GoFundMe donation to help produce all five books. The money will pay for professionally designed covers, proofreaders and an initial print-run of 50 books, per book, and the capability to provide the books in electronic formats.
What’s in it for you?
- You'll be supporting authors, and literature, that gets read, not just bought. Supporting professionally produced books not only benefit literary communities, but those literary products benefit society.
- Also, anyone who kindly donates $500, or more, I will mail a signed copy of one book, your choice. I, as well, will speak at your book club or group event, local within the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) metropolitan area.
- The greatest benefit for anyone who contributes, at any amount, is my promise to produce quality literature readers will not only enjoy, but quality literature that YOU will be honored knowing your contribution made it a possibility.
What’s in it for me?
- Five commercial book covers
- Professional interior book layouts
- An extra layer of proofread content
- Five books available in Print and Electronic formats
- World-wide distribution
- Above all, it will be the ultimate satisfaction knowing readers will appreciate you for helping make it possible to read and enjoy content that justifies requesting a $6000 GoFundme donation.
In order to meet my production schedule, so that all five books are available by Christmas this year, I would need the funds by November 12, 2018.
Below is a brief preview of book details:
Babies Raising Babies is a motherhood memoir inspired after my adult son demanded I write what it was like raising him and his sister as a teenage (married) mother. The book is approximately 70,000 words; about 300-pages, trade paperback size.
Painted Cats is women’s fiction; an erotic adult novel written in fun and humor remembering many women who inspired me by their outlook on life, their candor and also too, their juicy gossip on men and relationships. The book is approximately 60,000 words; about 275-pages, trade paperback size.
Jubilation is spiritual fiction written in remembrance and celebration of those dearest to me who left this world much too soon. The book is approximately 60,000 words; about 275-pages trade paperback size.
Anthill is a fantasy novel; a satirical parody mimicking social polemics and politics playing on past and present leaders governing our world. The book is approximately 70,000 words; about 300-pages, trade paperback size.
Foxtrot is a collection of poetry that includes new work, and as well past favorite poems. The book is approximately 30,000 words, about 200-pages, trade paperback size.
I’ve put a significant investment and a lot of hard work into the literary industry. To date I have purchased, read and reviewed hundreds of books written by others who like myself have the impermeable desire to share our stories. People must be made aware of these books, many tremendous stories sometimes overlooked, that I take my time to find. This YouTube video speaks to some of this passion.
I as well have invested a healthy amount of smart dollars into writing and publishing my own work, 22-books to-date. (I've included another You Tube video link of older published work). https://youtu.be/1fPcMa2M838
Your contribution will be a humble reward towards my overall goal to increase literacy by putting out polished literary work. Surely your contribution will mean a lot for many other readers as well.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Y.C. Johnson
