April: Kickstarter and more.
Firstly I’ll share news about the Kickstarter campaign and then below is some other news too!
The Kickstarter!
Thank you so much to everyone who has already backed the Kickstarter, especially if you backed during the launch weekend. The swift funding meant not only that I would not have to worry about it all month but Kickstarter selected it as a “Project we love”! (As you can see in this image)
Here’s how the funding is going, for those of you who like a nice graph. We are getting close to the end, but have hit 2 stretch goals. (£11,000 which gives all the Jonah copies a special holographic laminate cover). There is still a little time left to back (Ends Sunday at 8pm UK):
Gospel Colouring Factbook!
Here's a little video about our other new product the Gospel Colouring Factbook, it's turned out even better than I thought and will be a really useful resource! These are currently only available through the Kickstarter and are £4 for one or 5 for £15.
Passover
We are currently in the week of Passover! In the images below are two sample pages from the gospel colouring factbook about the festival, Jesus' siblings and more. (If you open the email on a desktop you should be able to read it).
Foreign languages
We are producing our own Spanish co-edition as we mentioned last month but we are also just yesterday signed a contract with Riggins Rights Management. This is an agency specialising in Christian books that finds publishers around the globe who wish to licence the rights to our books and produce them in alternative language version! I’m praying this will mean we can get the comics into Japan, Korea, China, across Europe and...well...just everywhere around the world!
Prayer
I'm very pleased with how the Kickstarter has gone so that was a great answer to prayer! Please join me in praying that our rights agents, Cindy Riggins and her team will find many open doors around the globe with publishers keen to take on the Word for Word Bible Comic in their own country! This could be a huge step into increasing the reach of God's word into areas of low literacy in general and limited Bible literacy.
