Are you interested in crowdfunding your book on Kickstarter but don’t know where to start?
I’ve been there.
You have an amazing book that you’d love to fully fund using Kickstarter or IndieGoGo but…
You feel overwhelmed by all of the different tactics, options, and strategies that other authors have said worked for them and you aren’t sure which ones will REALLY work for you.
You’re in the right place if you’re thinking to yourself…
- I’m interested in Kickstarter or IndieGoGo because I know it’s a powerful marketing tool, but I’m afraid of embarrassment and failure
- I’m willing to spend at least 3 months on intense marketing because it means my book is paid for upfront
- I really don’t want to nag my friends and family to support my work
- I want to know exactly what mistakes to avoid during my campaign
- I’m ready to invest in my business to learn how to crowdfund successfully to raise the funds I need for my book
- I already have a million things to juggle and want the crowdfunding part clearly laid out and explained to me
- I want to raise over $8k to $10k and don’t want to risk losing it all
Hi, I’m Lisa Ferland and I’ve been helping authors successfully crowdfund their books since 2017.
I’ve helped all types of authors and small publishers raise over $500k on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo.
Not only have authors found success with my strategies and tools, but I’ve also helped small publishers realize they need to do more audience building before launching their ambitious crowdfunding campaigns which saved them a lot of time and money.
I’m going to help you reach your crowdfunding goals to cover ALL of your expenses related to publishing an amazing book.

Are you ready to get started?
What would crowdfunding your book do for you and your readers?

Creating a higher quality book because the illustrations, printing, or editing costs are already paid for?
Proving to yourself (and others) that your book is worth reading?
Printing more books because you have readers who are eager to buy?
Having more book reviews on Amazon and Goodreads from your backers?
Creating a loyal fanbase who will help you spread the word about your book to their friends and family?
Increasing your confidence because you demonstrated that there is a viable market of readers who want to read your book?
Creating more books in a shorter timeline because you don’t have to wait and recoup the expenses from this book?
