Here's the deal ...
What you’re going to read is my life in “the business we call show.” It’s my life and the lessons I’ve learned as a little pink bird, a baby dragon, a ninja turtle, a precocious inner-city kid, a lion cub, a talking hand with eyeballs, a profane squirrel, a bear in a big blue house, and, on occasion, a very big bird. Plus, all the monsters, grouches, talking food, writing, directing, producing, and appearances I’ve done along the way to this introduction. So, this is me and how this four-decade “dolly-wigglin’” career started. Because a grown man could make up many things.
This is not one of those occasions.
What I Need & What YOU Get
My funding goal of $3000 will go towards:
- the creation of the book in hardcover, digital, and audible format.
- being able to promote it worldwide through Amazon Publishing and its affiliates and connections.
What YOU get in perks will include:
- a personal autographed copy of the physical book
- a 30 minute ZOOM chat with me
- a set of autographed photos of me and the characters I've played (including "Bear")
- a "thank-you" with YOUR NAME in a special section of the book (for those who contribute a certain perk amount).
- and so much MORE!
The Impact
I've had so many adventures in this career that has literally taken me around the world that I want to share some of the stories I've not had a chance to tell on podcasts and interviews. With your help, this book will reach so many fans of, not only the shows I've worked on and they grew up with, but a glimpse into the world of "children's television" production - both the creative and the business side. (Because there's a reason why it's called "show business.")
Risks & Challenges
What are the risks and challenges to creating a book yourself? Well, in order for the book to be "self-published" I need the funds. Then it will be available for folks to order the form they choose to enjoy. But the book has to be made first - formatted, edited, book cover design, everything a book needs. Coming shy of the initial goal means adjusting the plan to be just a physical and digital version but, no worldwide marketing to promote it. Meaning less people able to get it. Which is why YOUR help is so important.
Other Ways YOU Can Help
Now, I understand if you can't contribute money, but that doesn't mean YOU can't still help:
- Whatever social media platform you use, you can spread the word!
-
You can use the Indiegogo share tools to help get folks straight to the campaign!
And that's all there is to it!
