WOW!! We made it to our goal in less than a week! Thank you so much to everyone who supported us and donated to this project!
We are over the moon that so many people support this project, and very pleasantly surprised. To be honest, we did not expect a response like this, and set the goal at $1,200 (an amount which just covers the amount we've spent on resources for the fieldwork stage, in addition to the take that Amazon and Kickstarter receive) as an absolute minimum we needed to finish the project and pay Kickstarter and Amazon.
So now, on to the next stage of the project! We'll be continuing to conduct interviews in New York City, DC, Rochester and Dallas for the next few months, and will then start working to write up Race Monologues, create a play script for community theaters and schools to produce, format the book for classroom use, and finally, try to get the complete manuscript published.
Any donations you continue to make will allow us to conduct more interviews and create materials to aid us in publication. We’ve found a very talented web designer to rework our website and an amazing artist to create the artwork for the book cover, so things are starting to come together!
Again, thank you so much for all of your support! We are so appreciative and excited that you all believe in the importance of this project, and that you believe in us. Please, continue to spread the word-- send our site along to your friends, family, colleagues, and let them know that while we've reached our funding goal, there is still a lot of work to be done, and we appreciate every penny they may be able to donate to Race Monologues!
