I wrote about my experience of crowdfunding At Home With The Furries on my blog which has had some great responses, if you’re thinking of running a Kickstarter or similar in the future, give it a read https://broadbentius.com/2019/06/21/the-9-golden-rules-of-doing-a-photobook-kickstarter/
Beyond all this furry news, I’ve been getting involved with Patreon, a long term crowdfunding platform and recently I backed the work of Grant Scott via United Nations of Photography and also the Lifeboat Project by Jack Lowe.
I have also backed a number of fantastic book projects via Kickstarter and photographers direct. Mik Critchlow’s stunning Coal Town, soon to be published by Blue Coat Press. Centralia by Poulomi Basu and An English Journey by John Angerson.
