You've read the Wattpad version, now how would you like to get your hands on a real, live Runner book?
I love writing. I love it more than anything, and being able to create the Runner's world and share it with amazing readers such as yourself, has honestly been one of the best experiences of my life. I have put more time and effort into this book series than I care to admit and beat my knuckles bloody knocking on the doors of traditional publishing. More than anything I want to be able to make Kay's story the best it can be, but without the resources that traditional publishing offers, I'm left with funding everything myself. It's daunting, but with your support I think that we can really make this happen.
That said, I'm excited to announce that I have launched a campaign for fans and readers of The Runner Series to help me publish! The funding goal ranges from hiring an editor and cover artist to listing the ebook on Amazon and all the way up to ordering paperbacks. It's a difficult, expensive process, which is why I'm calling upon you to help bring this story from Wattpad to your bookshelf.
Your support will be rewarded in a variety of ways, from getting your name printed in the book, to placing you first in line to receive a paperback version, to having a character named after you! Even a very small donation will earn you an e-book of The Runner. Most importantly, you will help to create something real, something that I can be proud to print and give back to you.
Check out my profile for a link to the Indiegogo campaign, and stay tuned to Twitter and Instagram for updates.
Please, please, please consider donating! Even just a dollar or two from everyone who has ever enjoyed these stories would make all the difference in the world. You can also help by spreading the word about this campaign and sharing The Runner Series with everyone you can!
We built this story together, now I think that it's time we finish it.
Thanks guys, I love you!
