Two weeks ago we launched the Kickstarter campaign for The Tremendous Tome project. We had a nice kickoff and first couple of days, and then things started slowing down, despite our promotional efforts and the sharing efforts of our backers. Jeff and I asked them why they thought this might be, and the constructive feedback we received was great. Some suggestions went a little counter to our vision for the book, and it was at this point we realized that we didn’t have the clarity we thought we had, and that we might have misunderstood a few other things about our potential audience.
So, we made the decision to cancel the current Kickstarter campaign for The Tremendous Tome, which we announced today. While this feels disappointing for us (we both don’t like giving up), we also realize that this action is not “giving up” but rather it’s pausing so that we can address any concerns, make positive adjustments, and come back with something better, something with better clarity of purpose. More exciting too. It was an incredibly scary thing to do, but my gut certainly told me it was the right thing.
Thank you to all the wonderful backers that have written messages and comments of support for this move. We will be back later this year with a stronger product to offer you all.
Cheers
Dave
