My Book’s Kickstarter goes live 7 July.

Post by Richpips »

For those of you who are interested in my book “22,000 miles” which is about some of Tom and my experiences on our bikes over the last 10 years, we are launching a kickstarter on Tuesday 7 July at 1pm.

A preview can be found here - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/l ... n=e8763bb5

Once it is live the URL will be - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/l ... 2000-miles

Thanks Rich ! - Your exploits over the years have opened my eyes and encouraged me to attempt things that were previously unimaginable. The adventures and experiences have influenced my life.

Backed, out of interest why didn't you go down the publisher route?

It is being being done via a publisher. Https://www.littlepeak.co.uk

I wanted to launch via KS for the extra publicity.

The books should be arriving next week. :grin: :grin: :grin:

If anyone wants to preorder a copy who didn’t kickstart, you can do so now.

It was good to hear that the print run has taken place - good news for both you and your readers.

Looking forward to reading it, with a pint of beer at hand, and dreaming of my next (relatively pathetic) trip
