>> I was turned onto this group from a friend on my blog, and I am wondering if and how this community can help me out. <<
1) Check out the Memories. There are several posts about audience interaction and networking, etc.
2) I've also written a post on how to attract contributors. http://ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com/8055.html
3) People are welcome to post updates on crowdfunded projects. I'm not sure if yours is currently set up that way -- are you fundraising to cover production costs or anything like that?
>> I still need a good number of writers, and any suggestions for the book are also welcome. <<
Do you take reprints? Will contributors get a comp copy? If the answers are no, that could be why the response has been low. It's not necessarily required to pay in cash, but people usually want some kind of benefit for doing things. There are lots of options.
>> I'm rather new to the entire concept of crowdfunding, so any resources I could be pointed to would help as well. <<
I have a lot of resources gathered on my website: http://penultimateproductions.weebly.com/crowdfunding.html Start on the main page. Then use the pulldown menu to browse the various subsections.
If you have specific questions, you're welcome to ask.
