I take authors from Kickstarter newbie to their first $1,000 campaign. I will help you plan, launch, and crush crowdfunding campaigns that not only fund your publishing journey but build a loyal community of readers who stick with you through it all.

Yep, fun! Because Kickstarter is my favorite and it will be yours too!

I've run 4 successful Kickstarter campaigns and raised over $25,000 across a wide range of projects—including special edition novels, comics, low-bling books, and even a nonfiction recipe book. I know what it takes to bring all kinds of creative ideas to life on Kickstarter, and I’ve learned what works (and what to avoid) so you don’t have to guess. I bring strategy, experience, and a whole lot of enthusiasm to every project—because launching your book on Kickstarter should feel exciting, not overwhelming.

“Before Maggie’s Kickstarter coaching, my page was confusing, boring, and I had no idea where to begin with my campaign. After just one session with Maggie I had all the insights I needed to make my page beautiful and launch successfully. I made $1700 in 24 hours and $5800 during my two week campaign with no advertising spend and a mailing list of less than 500 people. Epic stuff for my first campaign, and I can’t wait to keep building on this success using Maggie’s insights.” - Michael Evans Creator of Author Marketing Superpowers Deck

“I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support I received from Maggie during my Kickstarter journey. As I prepared to launch my new children’s book, Maggie walked me through the entire setup process with patience and expertise. Her insights and guidance were invaluable in helping me create a robust campaign aimed at achieving the highest possible success. Maggie’s dedication to her craft and her willingness to share her knowledge made all the difference. I truly appreciate her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking to navigate the world of crowdfunding.” - C.K. Miller Author of the Roanfire Saga

“I meet Margaret at writers conference and she walked me through Kickstarter. I’m old school and this is all new to me, but she made it easy to understand and was very patient with all my questions. Thank you, Margaret!” - SC Dugan Author of Middle Grade Speculative Fiction
