The Crossing Swords fundraising campaign has received yet another boost from the staff at Kickstarter.com! On November 27, 2014, Thanksgiving Day, the Crossing Swords project was selected to be the one and only “Featured project in Publishing” on Kickstarter. This was a huge honor!!! To put this into perspective, there are nearly 5000 projects in the Non-Fiction category alone, and a total of 21,162 in Publishing.
What does this mean? The staff at Kickstarter sees great potential in this project! One of Kickstarter’s Publishing Community Managers was excited to see this project and chose to promote it above the thousands of other publishing projects in 14 different categories. So when visitors to the website went to “Discover” new projects in publishing, they saw the Crossing Swords image featured above even all the other “New and Noteworthy” projects.
This is the second time Kickstarter has featured the project. On October 29, 2014, Crossing Swords was selected as a staff pick to be one of 54 “Noteworthy” projects highlighted that day. Prior to that, on October 28, according to Kickspy.com, which ranks the popularity and success of active Kickstarter projects, Crossing Swords reached as high as #12 in the non-fiction category.
As of this writing, there are four days remaining in the Kickstarter project. Pre-order your copy now!
