This October, my first book, Shape Your Brand Story, will be published. Today, I'm inviting you to nurture a brand that feels like home.
Join me to crowdfund the next chapter
Help me crowdfund £10,000 to send my first book to print on Friday 25 September.
To get involved, you can buy my book, Shape Your Brand Story, sign up for my Sparking Stories workshop or book a Sounding Board session.
The Brand Seasons® Playgroup will also be making a return this November, timed to follow the book launch, and I would love to invite you to join in the fun and craft a brand that feels like home.
The story so far
Shape Your Brand Story distils two decades of brand-building into a companion for creatives.
The book invites you to treat your business the way any careful gardener tends a plot: planting those seeds, watching ideas grow, harvesting the rewards and minding your spaces for the next cycle of growth and change. Based on my Brand Seasons® Method, the book is based on the same framework behind the Brand Seasons® Playdeck, which I funded through Kickstarter, raising close to £15,000.
This time, I’m doing things differently. My personal trainer recently shared a philosophy with me: all or something is better than all or nothing. And that’s what crowdfunding through my own website offers. Less of the adrenaline rush and more of the excitement that I want to build around everything that comes next.
Writing and designing this book has been exciting and rewarding, and I can’t wait to work closely with you through design, mentoring and writing to help you craft a brand that feels like home.
Read on for all the options and details.
My target is £10,000, which supports the printing and publication of 1,000 copies of Shape Your Brand Story.
I had originally planned to print 500 copies but I’m setting my sights a little higher because I have the opportunity to take this book further than I had anticipated.
I’m so pleased I chose the hybrid (boutique) publishing route because it feels like the best of both worlds: collaboration with a publisher and editor whose work I deeply admire, and the creative freedom of making decisions on the design, papers and finish. But the cost and risk lies squarely with me, which is why your pre-orders matter.
The book will go to print regardless, and I will happily settle for 500 copies, but a larger print run would reduce the unit cost, supporting me as a small business, and bring some ease and joy to this last push.
Our goal
NOTE: We're over 65% of the way towards target with just 10 days to go so a huge thank you to everyone who has supported so far!Play a part
