Rants and Stuff / Help kickstart a small press by a forum member--Tu Publishing

Hey guys,
Most of you already know about this, but if you haven't already heard via Facebook or Twitter, I just wanted to let you know about the new small press I'm starting, Tu Publishing. We'll focus on multicultural science fiction and fantasy for children and young adults.
To raise enough capital to get off the ground, we're running a Kickstarter campaign. If you donate $5, you get a bookmark; $10 gets a coupon for a book; $25 gets a book, and so forth. Rewards for your backing through a secure site, and no money changes hands unless we meet our goal.
To make sure that we meet our goal, some friends have put together an online auction where the bids are for donations to the Kickstarter. So, if you win an auction, you not only would get, for example, a giant box of manga, you'd also get the Kickstarter reward that your donation promises. Two rewards for one!
Anyway, just thought I'd share that and let you know it's out there.
