For 30+ years, I was a software engineer in the Defense Industry. Now I'm pursuing my dream to be an author or fiction and non-fiction books about history.
My first project for KickStarter will be a book about the history of Marvel Cave, which is a tour cave near Branson, Missouri. I believe I could get this book published by a real publisher without problems. However, I am very concerned about the look and quality of the finished product. If I raise the necessary funds, I can hire a professional graphic artist to do the layout design. Then I will have control of the quality of the book.
I have held off, for a couple of years, on beginning the KickStarter campaign, to learn as much as possible about running it the right way. During that time, I have built up a following of interested people on Facebook. So, I have a platform and a list of waiting customers when the time comes.
