Too Close for Comfort Pre-Orders

Hello everyone, 

I have an exciting announcement to share with you all, pre-orders for Too Close for Comfort will officially open June 8th on Kickstarter!

If you’re new to Kickstarter, it’s a crowdfunding platform that helps creators bring projects to life through the support of their community. For independent authors (like me!), Kickstarter is incredibly important because it allows readers to directly support a book before it launches, helping build momentum, visibility, and excitement right from the start. 

One of the biggest ways you can help before pre-orders officially open is by saving my Kickstarter pre-launch page. To do this, click “notify me on launch” on my Kickstarter page and make an account. This will ensure you get an email update when the pre-orders open, but don’t worry, this is NOT a commitment to purchase anything. Every save tells Kickstarter there’s interest in the project. The more interest that Kickstarter sees, means the more likely it is that they will push the page out to more readers once the campaign (in this case, my pre-sales) goes live. These early saves and follows truly make a huge difference in helping the campaign (and therefore, my book!) succeed.

As a thank you for your time and support, everyone who saves the pre-launch page and submits this google form with proof will be entered into an exclusive giveaway! Plus, for every additional friend you encourage to save the page, you can earn additional entries into the giveaway! For each friend you refer to save my pre-launch page who does (whether they end up ordering the book or not), you will get an additional entry into the giveaway. That said, please spread the word! If your friend saves the page, just have them include your name in their giveaway entry google form submission. 

If you back my kickstarter campaign (aka pre-order) at the tier 3 or higher level, your ticket to the Book Launch Event will be free! You can click here to either purchase your ticket or to claim your free ticket once you’ve pre-ordered. 

I just want to take a moment to say that I am so deeply grateful for every share, save, message, and word of encouragement throughout this journey. Independent publishing thrives because of readers like you, and your support means more than I can express. Thank you for being part of this with me, seriously. I am so excited to share this story with you soon. 

With immense gratitude, 

T. E. Gibson
