Writer Tries Novel Approach to Fund Book
Joy Neighbors, a wine writer and cemetery blogger, is writing a book about the first woman to survive abdominal/ovarian surgery. She has the writing experience, the research ability, and the contacts to help edit and publish the book. What she doesn't have is the finances. But maybe with a novel approach to funding, she will.
- (1888PressRelease) October 10, 2012 - Joy Neighbors discovered the story of medical pioneer Jane Todd Crawford in a rural cemetery. Crawford survived ovarian surgery, in 1809, without anesthesia. Neighbors knew she had to tell this story. Researching ways to finance the project led her to Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site.
Crowdfunding is based on collective efforts of individuals who pool their money together to support an idea. Instead of equity, a funder gets a reward linked to the project. For Neighbors that made sense.
" You pledge an amount of money in return for a reward of similar or higher value. But if the specified money isn't raised in the time period stated, none of the backers are charged."
Only three weeks remain for crowdfunding to make Jane's story possible.
