Hi all,
If this isn't the appropriate place to put this, I'm sorry, and please feel free to remove it.
I've long thought that publishing collaboratively written novels would be a fun endeavor. Recently, I came across a project that is trying to implement a similar idea of chapter-by-chapter competitions with the aim of completing full-length novels and then publishing them through a publishing arm of the same project. I was pretty stoked, because this pretty close to the idea I had years ago, so I got in touch with the project creator and offered to help.
Currently, the project creator is trying to crowdfund enough money for legal and website design and development fees (via a crowdfunding platform that's exclusively for writers, it seems? - Pubslush - link to her project page)
She's got a Facebook and Twitter fan page account, has been interviewed by a few sources, etc. Her background is in publishing (master's degree), and there seems to be a lot of interest in the project. Financial support though? Not as much.
I'm just wondering if anyone on here has any additional suggestions for how to raise awareness for the project. My sense is Pubslush isn't hugely visible compared to other crowdfunding sites like indiegogo or kickstarter, but I myself don't have much background in self-promotion of this nature. Since it related to publishing peoples' works, technically, this was about the only other place I could think to ask for advice. Again, if the subject isn't appropriate for this forum, feel free to take it down.
