The Awful Alphabet

Hello Backers:

We are in week three of the campaign, and we are still going strong. As of this writing, we've reached our first stretch goal--The Awful Alphabet Digital Poster--and we are approaching our second stretch goal, an audiobook of The Awful Alphabet, narrated by Carol Beth Anderson.

Those of you who backed during the first week will be entered into a raffle for three award-nominated Edgar Allan Poe audio CDs, narrated by Jason Markeiwitz. That raffle will be run later this week.

Our second raffle will be for Holly Knightly's new book, Eye of Athena: A Supernatural Suspense Novel. The book has been getting rave reviews on Amazon, and Holly has donated one hardcover copy, which I will raffle off when we reach our next stretch goal at $1500.

If you've backed this campaign, I assume you like books, and, if there's one thing that's true about book lovers, it's that we can never have enough books. Share out the campaign to your friends so that you'll have a chance to add another book to your collection.

Thank you for your support so far. We can't wait to get The Awful Alphabet into your hands.

Thank you for helping us fund and reach our first stretch goal in the first week and a half. You are all awesome.

We are nearing our second stretch goal. At $1500, everyone will receive a audiobook, narrated by the incredible Carol Beth Anderson. Beth did an amazing job narrating the book. You can hear a clip of Beth’s narration here. We are so excited for you to hear the whole thing.

After the initial excitement of a launch, campaigns often go through a lull. Please help us keep our momentum going by sharing the campaign across your channels. There is so much excitement ahead. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Have a great week.



Sincerely,
Ari, Sara, and Mike

Dear Backers,

We have funded! Woohoo! Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign. Sara, Mike, and I appreciate you all so much. 

Please continue to share, as we have some exciting stretch goals coming up:

At 1000 dollars (less than 200 away) everyone receives a digital poster of the entire awful alphabet poem. 

At 1500, you receive an audiobook narrated by the incredible Carol Beth Anderson. 

Thank you, again, so much. This alphabet is awful, but you are awesome!

Thank you early backers! We had a great opening weekend, reaching 72 percent of our funding goal in the first two days. Let's try to keep the momentum going. Share the campaign. Encourage your friends and family to support, and remember, as an early backer you get a brand new Mr. Stupendous digital one-page story added to your pledge.

As a first week backer, you will also be entered into a raffle to win a set of 3 Edgar Allan Poe audiobook CDs, narrated--and autographed--by Jason Markiewitz. Jason's narrations were nominate for the 2023 Visiter Award by the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum in Baltimore. I only have one set of these to give away, so I want to encourage as many people as possible to pledge week one for a chance at this special reward.



Thank you, again, for your support. We are so glad you are taking this journey with us!

All our best,

A. A. Rubin
