Introduction to my crowdfunded project

[mpho begin]

Hello,

I just joined this group and I would like to introduce myself and my crowdfunded project.

I am a children's book author and last year I published my first picture book, THE LION'S DECEIT. This year I am embarking on a project to publish kids books that teach about Africa (I am originally from Botswana). I turned to crowdfunding to help me with the costs of printing the books. I am semi-finalist of the Moms in Business Crowdfunding Grant Competition through PeerBackers.

The project is a series of picture books to educate children on the positive aspects of growing up in Africa by depicting children in day-to-day situations. The books are set in Botswana where I grew up. I am reaching out to you to help me make this possible by making a contribution and sharing the project with anyone who might be interested. I am aiming to raise $7500 to complete the illustrations , edit the books, create the ebook app, and print the books.

What is in it for you? I am giving out prizes ranging from signed copies of the books, acknowledgment in the books, author visits to your school/library of choice and many more. For more information on how to contribute to my campaign please visit my project at

Looking forward to contributing to this group and sharing my experiences.

Mpho
