What are your planned crowdfunding projects for April? What did you accomplish during March?

The April Creative Jam will run Saturday 14-Sunday 15 with a theme of "twists."

During March:

I finished O Sweet and Blessed Country, and put it online with a recording provided by robotic flutes.

My Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, both pieces I crowdfunded in 2015, were sung by University of London Church Choir at the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, Parliament.

I worked on various drafts of things which will be crowdfunded later.

April plans:
Wordless Lullabies for the Sleepless is due to launch Real Soon Now. I'll come back and post about it then! I'm really excited about this project, but haven't said much about it yet because the Kickstarter hasn't launched. When it does, it will only be live for one week, so I'll need to promote it quite heavily then -- but only for that week.

Two different applications for commission competitions: these are a sort of old-school crowdfunding, where an organisation has collected some money from crowds and needs to decide who to spend it on, so I think they count.

And I need to find an artist who I can commission for postcards, as the one I was working with has pulled out for personal reasons. One image a quarter, I have ideas but am also open to suggestions, and I don't have a huge budget (but they don't have to be colour images).

Yay!

Fascinating.

First. Hi!

I've started a Patreon, and am attempting to crowd-source my urban fantasy novel.

I am also asking people to donate a dollar for a personalized poem for National Poetry Month, at which end of the month, I'll take all the donations and send to help the IMLS/NEA/NEH.
