Hey guys, I have a Kickstarter project for my graphic novel here.

http://kck.st/vAX3s5



I'm a debut author and my first novel, The Chimera Vector, is being published globally in April 2012 by Pan Macmillan's new digital imprint, Momentum. The thing is, I really, really want to make a graphic novel adaptation to go with it. Because graphic novels are sexy.

A $5 pledge pre-orders the graphic novel. Pre-order away and I might just succeed -- and it would be thanks to you! The funds are all going to hiring illustrators for this graphic novel (Vol 1). I plan to fund later volumes myself.

Oh, and the graphic novel is actually part of a larger project for an app that includes the ebook, audiobook, graphic novel and narrated, scored graphic novel. The concept video is here:

Cheers,
Nathan

Hey Allen, sounds epic!

Pledged! :)

Have you considered a smaller $5 or $10 pledge where backers are given a digital download of the film? I know you're offering it for free, but it's a great way to encourage small pledges and they get the added convenience of being given a download link to download the video for offline viewing. You can add rewards mid-project.

Good luck!

Just a heads up: I've cancelled the graphic novel project. I don't want to spread myself too thin and also, and perhaps more importantly, I don't yet have an audience to crowdfund with. While I do plan on revisiting the graphic novel next year, I'll be focusing on developing the app for now. You can read the low down here:
