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 (http://www.tupublishing.com). 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 (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1586632165/tu-publishing-a-small-independent-multicultural). 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 (http://community.livejournal.com/kickstart_tu/) 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 (http://community.livejournal.com/kickstart_tu/1280.html), 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.
