Holiday shirt fundraiser for book on polyamorous fairytales

Do you need an ugly holiday sweater to wear to that poly-friendly party? Then you have got to check out the ugly sweater fundraiser these creative folks have put together to support their book on polyamorous fairytales. They have two adorably “ugly” long sleeve shirts, one that reads “All I want for Christmas is you and you and you and you“and another that shows animals with interlocked antlers forming multiple hearts. Purchasing one of these shirts could provide the perfect gift for the poly on your list and a way to sport your polyamorous holiday spirit, all while supporting a book on polyamorous fairytales!

Sniffle. Wish I could afford to do something like this for my books. 15 years writing poly fairy tales/fantasy/scifi but nothing for marketing. I’m definitely geeked I won’t be the only one anymore, though. 🙂

  Yay more poly voices of diversity!!!! I really enjoyed working with Eve Rickert at Thorntree Press and would encourage you to submit work to her press if you have a book idea. They orchestrated a crowdfunding campaign for the book and asked my support but handled the campaign pretty much themselves for my book, along with a few others.
  
  Writing can be laborious and publishing incredibly ponderous, but hang in there! The right publisher makes all the difference and Thorntree was leagues better than my first publisher, Rowman and Littlefield, where I was a tiny fish in their giant pond.
  
  All the best to you, keep writing 🙂

    I am currently working on a non-fic aro book for them. But they don’t take fiction; at least not yet. 🙂

Hello!

Is there any other way to support the campaign? I’d love to support poly fairytales, but don’t want a shirt ;-).

Is there a kickstarter, please?

It was good seeing you again at Bookwoman :-).
