Join the next fireside story reading. Donate and get a personal performance.
The first Fireside Fundraiser Fiction Reading went well. Book another, wherever you want me to perform for you.
Hey fictional family,
The first Fireside Fundraiser Fiction Reading went well last Saturday night. I read the never-before-revealed stories ‘We Created a Country’ and ‘The Beast Released’ to a small group in my lounge at home and they were rapt. Thrilling stories, good wine, great discussion afterwards.
Now I’m writing to invite you to book YOUR personal story reading.
Let me explain in five punchy bullet points so you can get back to doomscrolling.
I’m crowdfunding for Bloodalcohol, forthcoming collection which has a publishing offer, but I need to put in more money to make it perfect instead of just okay
I am singing for my supper - that is, I am giving advance readings of the stories in the collection. That means you simply kick back and enjoy some really strong, thrilling stories read with dramatic effect by the author.
How to get a ticket? Simply donate to the crowdfunding campaign and buy an advance book. That earns you a reading.
Where will the performance take place? Anywhere you like. If you’re in Northland NZ, gather a few people and I’ll read to you at your house or a pub. If you’re in Auckland and can pull together a small crowd, I’ll come down for that. If you’re overseas, I’ll read to you over Zoom.
Which story would you like read to you? Here are the options. Simply click through, peruse and choose.
Thanks for your support. We have raised 2/3 of what we need to pay for your personal signed copy of the book, a better-than-standard cover, shipping, printing initial paperbacks, review copies and a basic blog tour. We still have to complete that final 1/3 of the money though. I would love to get your name in the acknowledgements alongside the first donors.
Thanks,
Mike
