    Take a breather to get more feedback in and begin planning a smaller IndieGogo campaign.

    Either way, begin an indiegogo campaign for therapy costs to get over your Scientology past

    :cry: This is basically a kickstarter for my first novel. When I began I actually hoped, I admit, that it could be the next 'Harry Potter'. And although the feedback is great the book still needs a lot of critical feedback and support.

    For any of you guys I'd be cool with sending you a free copy of the book just to see what you think.
    You can email me directly at writerphoneix@gmail.com

    I put together all of the content for pennies. Which I guess is cool but it didn't really start any kind of movement :P
    Now I'm gonna go check the my lack of new supporters @_@ I can only feel like I've failed to present this book and myself properly. I also feel like I aimed to high and maybe should take a slower approach to improving the first book over time? I'm also kicking myself for not just going with indiegogo because I might loose that 9K that's there now if I don't make the full target :3

    And P.S. never do the Amazon KDP Select. You get locked in and don't really get marketed O_o - Look up the smash words route ;) You could even make one book free that only has 10 chapters and the whole book at $2.99. Too late for me though :cry:

    I think next time, you may want to exclude the backers as part of the editing process; do not mention that in the video. I typically read books that are educational and related to work, so I haven't really read that many fictional books outside of college, but when I do, I want to know that the book is already polished by the time I sit down to read it.

    It all looks great and very nice video.

    Is it possible to trim it down a bit. I'm not sure you need the rewards twice and maybe delete a few pictures (or resize them if possible.) I'm a very short-scroller and move on quick if things look too long!
