Hogy mi is ez az egész

Öt tanárkodással töltött év után írtam ezt a novella-gyűjteményt. Mivel az indiegogo oldal egy angol nyelvű oldal, ám szeretném, ha minden érdeklődő olvashatna a részletekről, létrehoztam egy blogot is, magyarul.

A megírás és a kampány történetét a következő linken olvashatod:

A Műút portálon pedig az egyik novellát: http://www.muut.hu/?p=13825

Nagyon köszönöm, ha támogatsz, akár csak egy megosztással, vagy pedig valamilyen, a szívednek és a pénztárcádnak megfelelő összeggel. Kitaláltam kisebb-nagyobb ajándékokat is, viszonzásképpen. Ezeknek a listáját itt találod, itt, az indiegogo-n pedig perk címszó alatt:

Short Summary

I have written this collection of short stories after spending five years at a secondary school in Budapest. The book contains eleven stories.

Teaching and working with teenagers has always been very important to me, just as my own teenage years in a slightly different era. I have always loved to explore the vulnerability of this age, let it be mine or others. The stories are mostly fictional, although some of the characters might seem very familiar to the reader: I tried to stick to everyday life situations that could happen to anyone, to anyone's beloved ones.

I am trying to look into these young people's minds, to express their inner thoughts the right and simplest way, let it be about love, drugs, family, adulthood, homosexuality, death.

You will find a short description, readers' opinions and a longer interview (all of them in Hungarian) following the blog's link: http://kevertkonyv.blogspot.hu/

Unfortunately, as you may also know, it is not the easiest thing to get published nowadays. One can decide to wait till the moment they get noticed, or try to find other ways. I have chosen the latter. Not only for the success (of course I will be the happiest person on earth the second I can see the hard copy of my first published book), but also for the adventure of it. I do believe in contribution, that people around me are eager to help. I have also done it and would always do it for a great cause.

So if you feel like funding this book to get it published, I will be eternally grateful. All my life.

What We Need & What You Get

To get the book published with the company I have found, we would need $1500  approximately. This sum covers the costs of proof-reading and editing the text, then sending it to the press office. My illustrator who will be responsible for the cover design, also needs some compensation. As a final stage, the book has to arrive to the shops which is also the publisher's responsibility.

This amount would cover the publishing of 1000 hard copies. A reasonable number to start with!

Check out the perks I am offering and feel free to decide which one is suitable for you. I have tried to find out something personal to everybody so that you will surely get something memorable in return.

Risks & Challenges

A little help means already a lot. As this campaign is set 'flexible', I can promise that your contribution will be appreciated the right way. The publishers need a certain amount to do the editing, printing and get the book on the shelves. I hope to collect at least some part of the amount needed and in case of emergency, I will do my best to complete the sum by other sources. Actually, taking a loan would always be possible, but I somehow prefer to build the whole thing on trust and your loving heart.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you just can't contribute, it doesn't mean you can't help: making some noise about this campaign is already a great help.
