The Book I Never Knew I Wanted To Write
I have been making and using sigils (magickal symbols) for over a decade. A couple of years ago I really wanted to do something creative, but I had no idea what to do. So I made a sigil to manifest creativity and prosperity. That inspired me to set up an on-line sigil making tutorial. One of the sections of the tutorial was about how to go beyond the original purpose of the sigil and use it to inspire a creative adventure. I created a visual sample and I so enjoyed that process that I kept making more artwork inspired by sigils.
As I made more pieces the idea for the book began to take shape. It occurred to me that I could help people understand that Creative does not always mean Artistic and show them how to use sigils to inspire their dormant creativity!
Your Support Matters!
This self publishing odyssey is quite a learning experience! Two of the things I've discovered are that I can't do it on my own and it isn't free. I don't have some of the skills needed to get the book published and promoted. I can learn these skills, and have plans to do so, but they're not things I can learn overnight and I'd like to publish the book this year.
Although I can design the print version of the book I don't have the skill (yet) to format it for e-readers so I will have to hire someone to do that. I will need to get an ISBN number, publishing accounts and ads to publicize the book among other things. Full disclosure: Even if I don't get fully funded I still plan to publish the book and send out perks, it will just take a lot longer!
What You Get
In addition to getting a warm, fuzzy feeling for supporting a fellow human being, you can choose from these perks:

You can even let me know if there's a perk you don't see but would be interested in.
