Findlay Macbeth Kickstarter reaches target in 2 days


The Kickstarter campaign for my graphic novel Findlay Macbeth went live on Thursday afternoon, just before I set off for an overnight stay before my next school visit. By 9 o'clock Saturday it had reached its goal of £500!


Now I have to dream up some Stretch Goals, which is what I believe the kids are calling them these days. I have still to contact all the schools I've visited and give them a chance to order copies, and plugging has really only started.

The Kickstarter campaign is here, closing on March 14th.

Bizarrely, my attempt to "boost" the campaign on Facebook has been held back because, they tell me, of bad language. This is what Facebook has to say...



Meanwhile, here's the campaign itself:
