I've hadn't thought about kickstarter before, but seeing a post in the Small Press & Self Pub section made me wonder if it would be a way to raise money for the all-important cover AND effectively get pre-order sales that might generate reviews and buzz. We're only talking a few hundred quid for covers here, probably, and most of the thread previously is on about tens of thousands!
Does anyone have experience with small-budget Kickstarters and maybe some idea what else I could put the money towards if I reach the cover goal? I'd have two books so would like two covers, and then was thinking maybe pro editing or a print run?
I'm only just beginning to think about this, because I never reckoned on having the money up front until now.
