Help James find a space to finish his novel.
Donation protected
Hello,
I'm raising $15,000 to finish writing a story I've been working on since March of 2024. It’s an adventure/fantasy novel that began while I was living out of a minivan—choosing simplicity to free up time to write. But when my vehicle broke down, everything stalled. I had to scrap it and move across the country to stay with a friend.
This fundraiser would cover:
A full lease for an apartment where I can live and complete the novel.
A laptop to finish the editing and self-publishing process.
I believe in this story. I believe it can offer clarity, comfort, and imagination at a time when many people feel lost. Any support means the world—it’s not funding a product, it’s giving a story the chance to be told.
No publisher. No agents. No team. Just the writer, the reader, and the quiet work of getting it done.
Thank you,
James
