A Field Guide to Now
One of my favorite bloggers, Christina Sbarro over at My Topography, has a project up on Kickstarter. I hadn’t heard of Kickstarter until she mentioned it, but it’s a way for artists and writers to obtain financial backers for a project. In return, the artist offers “rewards” to their supporters. A pretty cool deal.
Anyway, Christina (who lives in Vermont) has a project up on the Kickstarter site: A Field Guide to Now. Go on over there and take a look at her video:
This Kickstarter thing is all or nothing. The artist has to meet the specified goal in the time allowed or they don’t get the money – and backers will not be charged unless and until the goal is met.
I don’t know Christina personally, but I’ve followed her blog for several years and time after time her prose just blows me away. I’m going to invest in Christina and her project because I love her work – both her writing and her art. I predict that she will having a shining future in writing. You heard it here first.
From her Kickstarter page:
Her short fiction and essays have recently appeared in the Sun, Mothering, Blue Print Review; with a new story forthcoming in the L.A. Review.
Her story, “The Things You Forget,” was nominated for a Pushcart prize and her her story “If You Fall It Is Your Fault” won the Red Hen Press Short Fiction 2009 Award judged by Judith Freeman.
Christina is currently working on her first novel.
