I have a chance for you to become a hero today. Wait much more than that and your opportunity will pass away.
You actually have the ability to be a hero in several ways with this challenge that lies before you.
I don’t have to tell you that COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on several small businesses. Christian publishing houses were stretched pretty thin in a good economy. Many won’t survive this current situation.
Case in point: Little Lamb Books. They publish everything from picture books to young adult, many of them have won awards.
Little Lamb began in 2015. That means they’re still getting their feet under them according to industry standards. When this pandemic hit 80% of their sales were wiped out overnight.
That leaves them with few options.
They could just throw in the towel and call it quits on what many see as an inevitability. That makes too much sense for a team with a God-given purpose.
They could attempt to borrow money from the bank. That would cost dearly in high interest paybacks.
They could call for help from everyday folks to come alongside them in a grassroots effort to fund a comeback. This is the option they’ve chosen.
Kickstarter is a funding company that let’s companies and/or individuals build a campaign seeking backers to raise money for whatever project they want help with.
Little Lamb is using this platform asking us to help them keep their lights on. In return you can receive rewards for your pledge of support. The bigger the pledge the greater the reward.
Remember I began this post with the possibility for you to be a hero in more than one way?
Well, some of the rewards include books published by Little Lamb. Don’t have kids of your own? No problem. Donate them to your church or school. They’re always looking for more books for their kiddos.
Of course you can pledge any amount without a reward if you so desire.
The biggest challenge now comes by a deadline that’s fast approaching. August 4th will be here before you know it.
If they don’t reach their goal of $15,000 by then the whole shabang closes down. They don’t receive any money and nobody has to pay what they pledged.
Let’s not let that happen. I might need them to publish some of the books I’ve written.
Here’s the link to the Kickstarter campaign: Little Lamb Books
That’s where you can learn about the rewards according to your pledge.
There’s also a frequently asked questions link about how Kickstarter works and links to Little Lambs’s website.
Take the time to see the level of books they’ve put out in the past and you’ll see why I think they’re a great publisher to keep in business.
As of the time I wrote this post they were 1/3 of the way to their goal. These things often close fast at the end.
Please do what you can to be a hero for Little Lamb Books.
I’ll see you later. Wade
