RISKS AND CHALLENGES
This is my first campaign, my first time working with Indiegogo, and my first time doing fulfillment. This is why I have the book over 90% completed by the time this campaign launched, and set to be complete by the time it closes, giving me plenty of time to work on fulfillment. I don’t know the ropes yet, but I’m willing to learn to make sure each and every one of you gets your books on time!
