Crows on Heartstrings - Support Us
Hey Everyone!
I recently curated and successfully funded an illustrated book of short stories called Crows on Heartstrings.
The aim was simple: gather a group of talented international artists and writers to share stories of star-crossed lovers while including all types of love, all genders, and all cultures.
We succeeded in our goal of 7k euro which covered just enough money to publish and market the book.
Now we need your help again.
Our artists and writers donated their time, labor, and love to this project and graciously donated any money we would have paid them to advertise our book. They are being paid now only in royalties and I wanted to start this gofundme to help out our contributors.
We come from all over the world, but we have a few things in common, we are either full-time writers and artists, or students who really need to get our work out there, but put food on the table at the same time.
I set the goal high, because I really want to pay each of our contributors €575 each (there are 26 of us) and use the remaining money to fund our next anthology due to come out next year.
The anthology is tentatively called "Read Me" and is inspired by tarot. Each author will be given a tarot reading prior to writing their story.
In this experiment, each story must be influenced by the given reading.
I am dedicated to giving YA readers the characters and stories they want. That means more relatable characters, stories by women, by people of color, by the LGBT+ community, all cultures...
Diversity
I want everyone to be able to enjoy reading, and the only way I know how to do that is to listen to our audience and curate the anthologies you want.
Thank you for your time. Please support our Crows.
