Crowd sourcing Pie Book. Can you help?

Calling all pie lovers!

Hello friends, family and pie lovers!

I have decided to reprint my book about pie called A Slice of Humboldt Pie and could use your help. I’m going through a new crowd sourcing entity called Pubslush that only focuses on books. They are here to support writers in publishing and marketing their works. So I am humbly asking the world if there is anybody out there who would like to support a writer? And for this you will be rewarded.

Here are the contribution levels:

$5 – Thank you email that includes a pie baking tip.

$10 – Thank you email that includes a pie recipe from the book.

$25 – Signed pie book

$50 – Signed book plus pie-baking tool

$75 – Signed book plus oven mitt

$100 – Fort Collins residents only. A signed book plus a home-baked pie delivered to your house.

To contribute, go to my The Pie Book page. And please feel free to spread the pie love and share this link with your friends.

About the book: Ten years ago when I lived in California, I went on a quest to find the perfect pie crust. It created a domino effect where once I met one pie baker, he or she had another friend who made pies that I should talk to. So I went on a series of interviews where I visited with folks in Humboldt County who invited me into their homes for a slice of warm pie. A Slice of Humboldt Pie is a collection of essays that also includes the recipes each person shared. I did find the perfect pie crust, and I also made new friends along the way. Includes dozens of recipes and pie baking tips.

What You’ll be Funding: I’ll use the funds raised to reprint the book and then have fun marketing it with tie-ins to National Pie Day and National Pi Day. I also plan to do a crust demonstration at a local shop to encourage people to make their crusts from scratch. Funds permitting, I also plan to print up recipe cards with what I found to be the perfect pie crust.

Note: 1% of the money raised for my book will be donated back to Pubslush to support literacy programs.
