RoboTales Kickstarter Project: Will You Help Us?

I usually write for teens or adults. But since both my kids were in elementary school, I wanted to write a story for them. My son, Luke, and I came up with the idea of writing science fiction fairytales. But it wasn’t until we came up with the title RoboTales, that we really got excited. This series has science fiction and/or fantasy settings. Readers gather clues in each story, learn something, and enjoy the adventure. And what kid doesn’t love a robot dog?

While Luke did not write the books, he has helped me brainstorm the plots, characters, planets, creatures, and has helped with editing too. I will give him a co-writing credit on the series. Here is the video that Luke and I made. He edited the footage together himself.

 

KICKSTARTER: HOW IT WORKS

Kickstarter is a new way to help bring creative projects to life. We’ve all had great ideas, but most of us don’t have the money to invest in starting a business. Kickstarter gives people a way to achieve their dreams by giving them a place to share their idea.

Anyone can donate, but Kickstarter is all or nothing. If we reach our goal, those who pledged money will be asked to pay that money, which we will use to fund our project. If we don’t reach our goal, no one is charged and we don’t get any money.

We’re using Kickstarter to fund RoboTales because illustrating this book costs more money that we have. We plan to personally absorb all the other costs associated with self-publishing. Click here to read more about the cost breakdown on our Kickstarter page.

 

REWARDS: WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION

As investors in our project, you will receive rewards based on the level of your pledge. We have ebooks, print books, stickers, postcards, buttons, coloring pages, and LEGO instructions Luke made so that other kids can build their own Robo dog our of LEGOs.

Let us know if you have any questions for me or my son Luke, and we will do our best to answer them as soon as possible. Please share this page (or our Kickstarter page) with any friends or family members you think might like these books or might be willing to support Luke and me. We can’t wait to get these books into the hands of young readers! Thanks for your time and consideration.

Cyber hugs,

Jill and Luke
