Smaller Indiana member can use your help with a writing project

[Chuck Lasker]

I am writing a book titled The Time Travel Survival Guide. I have posted this as a project at a site called Kickstarter, where people can back the project financially from a dollar on up. Pledging $19 or more gets a copy of the book when it comes out, so it’s kind of like a pre-order of sorts, too.

The way Kickstarter works is, people pledge a dollar amount, and it only gets charged if the project reaches its funding goal in time. So, if I don’t get $3,000 in pledges by November 23rd, the project dies and nobody gets charged.

As fellow Smaller Indiana members, I could use your help. There are two ways you can help:

1. You could back my project with a pledge. I have some cool stuff I’m sending my backers, and you’ll be part of something I think is pretty cool. Even if you pledge only a dollar, it will help my project get on the front page of the site for popularity.

2. You could pass along the link and tell people you know me and think this will be a great book (I hope you do!). Here’s some sample text if that helps:

“An author friend of mine, Chuck Lasker, is writing a new book called The Time Travel Survival Guide. It’s a humorous, nonscientific look at surviving if you’re suddenly thrust back in time. He’s looking for backers for as low as a dollar to help him get it finished. You can see his description and even a cool video of him explaining his book at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chucklasker/time-travel-surviva.... Pledging even a dollar would help him move up in popularity at the site and you’ll be a part of something pretty cool.”

That’s my pitch. I appreciate any help you can send my way! If you have any thoughts on where else I can let people know about my project, or even ideas for the book, I'd love to read them here.
