Muckville: a memoir of the public policy life of a farmer!

 An inside look at a farmer’s fight to influence ag policy in Washington DC and the oddities of life that happen along the way.

We’ll at the start of DAY 4 of my Project I now have 10 backers and have reached 5% of my goal. A great start!

I found out yesterday on the Kickstarter website, under the section for staff picks for the publishing section my project is 9at least at the time of this posting) their top pick!

Now I need your help to keep things moving! It won’t remain a top pick for long if it doesn’t continue the momentum. Eight of my backers are friends while two are strangers.

The added bonus to this project becoming successful is that I will stop haunting everyone!

Just a reminder, Kickstarter is “all or nothing” so if I don’t reach my funding goal I get none of the pledged support.

Help a 4th generation small family onion farmer who has lobbied on Capitol Hill get his memoir published via Kickstarter!

THANK YOU!

Well, it is official … my new Kickstarter campaign has officially launched.

Since my failed previous campaign I have hooked up with a professional editor eager and willing to intensively edit my manuscript. She edited my Kickstarter project and it was an intensive, line by line edit.

Like the other handful of people that have seen all or part of my first draft she is very excited about it and its potential. She thinks I’m a very good story teller and is very excited to work on it.

That’s where you all come in … her proposal to do the project is very reasonable (I’ve gotten other offers the past few months from other editors across the country) and she is excited about the work. But I simply do not have $5,500 to pay her.

I wish a time traveler would give me winning Powerball numbers but that simply has not happened yet. Until it does I need your help. If you can contribute … fantastic … if you could spread the word among your social networks … even better.

In the meantime check out the new verbiage and video … AND THANK YOU!
