    Excerpts from this conversation with Aurora Winter:

    The quick summary on Kickstarter is that it is it is a crowd funding platform that is specifically oriented for supporting the creation of new products.

    So that would include books, but it also could include a backpack or a watch or a new kind of jacket or glasses, and or jewelry. So many creators have fun or even a film, many creators have funded their project on Kickstarter.

    Kickstarter is distinct from other crowdfunding platforms. It's not like a GoFundMe, it's not please, please, please, I need money, it's more, I have this exciting idea. It's so wonderful. And I would really like to give you the opportunity exclusively to get this hot off the press before it's available to the general public.

    And usually, you will also get something different and distinct from what is available for the general public.

    So people who like first editions, people who want signed editions or they want something collectors, Kickstarter is really great for that. And one more thing I learned about Kickstarter, and I've a number of things to share.

    But one other thing that people might like to know is Kickstarter is your first stop, it doesn't take away from selling your product on Amazon or wherever you might sell it. But if you go to Kickstarter, first, you offer that exclusive window, and you don't have to ship the following day.

    So you can use the funds to create your movie, or to finish, you know, your design of the book cover. In my case, my book is already done. So that wasn't the case.

    But Kickstarter does give you the opportunity for a little window of time to finish your creative project. Like my son did a video game on Kickstarter.

    So it's something and it's something that's, I think, really exciting and fun, because you get to meet the creators.
