Looks like it’s official, I’m a grey-beard now. Still, I appreciate the Gandalf vibes in the following piece created by the very talented Jade Vaughn.
…and not because I’m claiming to be a crowdfunding wizard. It’s more that I’ve learned a few tricks which I’m eager to share in just 4 days! There’s still time to register for this 3 hour workshop!

I've been working hard to capture the vague notions and abstract theories which I've been developing with each crowdfunding campaign I've been a part of. The reason I'm so excited about this endeavor is largely due to my immense admiration for this organization's founder, Janna Morishima. As well as the amazing hand-picked team of talents which make KidsComicsUnite.com such a wonderfully nourishing space for creators. Check them out if you haven't, membership is free.

Here's what Janna's had to say about this project...

"Patrick will help you understand how to dip your toes into crowdfunding the easy way. Your first campaign probably won't be for a complete graphic novel – it could be a single chapter, a zine, or a mini-comic.

You will come away with:

• A step-by-step action plan designed to prepare and launch a crowdfunding campaign
  
  
• A method for easily brainstorming and taking advantage of accessible and novel PR opportunities
  
  
• An understanding of how to use your crowdfunding campaign not just to pay for your project, but also to grow your fans and build a long-term relationship with them

I personally can't wait for Patrick's workshop, because he is one of the most encouraging, positive people I know. If you want to come away with the sense that "I can do this!," I'm pretty sure Patrick will help you get there!"

Hope to see you on Saturday . . .
