As I get ready to kickstart The Labyrinth of Flame in February, I've been asking author-friends who've successfully crowd-sourced projects for advice and lessons learned. Many people have been very generous in sharing their experience and knowledge, which I am hugely grateful for. Both for my own reference and that of others, I thought I'd start a post here collecting links to useful information as well as some examples of author kickstarters. I'll add to this as I discover new posts - and after my own kickstarter is done, write up what I learned as well.
