Well, I really shouldn't have been surprised, as I have the best, most supportive readers a writer could wish for, but the Kickstarter for The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter has kicked off in a really incredible way.
As of this writing, we are 76% to fully funding and it's been less than 24 hours!
Here's some of the really impressive stats:
- $10,000 raised in the first 10 minutes of the launch!
- $18,452 raised in the first hour
- Currently the 22nd highest-funded Fiction Kickstarter in the US based on total pledges
- Currently the 18th most-backed Fiction Kickstarter in the US based on # of backers
If we look at this project compared to my other Kickstarters, it blows them out of the water. The following data is for first-day sales as tracked through Kicktraq:

At the time it ended, The Death of Dulgath was the 2nd (or maybe 3rd, I forget) highest funded Fiction Kickstarter. It's now currently #6 (#2 as far as most-backed). With such good first-day results, we may just be able to surpass it! Thanks everyone for all the support.
This is great news. I can't wait to see my copy arriving in the mail. 😬
ReplyDeleteThanks, ella, I'm excited as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is really great. Do you have any ideas on why you have almost double the number of backers versus Death of Dulgath? I was wondering if more exposure from your Age of... books helped pump the numbers?
