Hello and thank you again for your great support on my crowdfunding project!
Now that the campaign is over, I've just spent time talking to Lee from Publishizer who has helped me to finalize my book proposal, and he and his editorial team are reaching out to the 160+ publishers in their network to begin discussions about finding a partner for The Value Plan. It should take at least 4-6 weeks to get responses and begin negotiations with those who are interested.
In addition to this, 8 publishers reached out to me during the campaign, and I'm now speaking directly with two of them about possible options for working with them as well.
I will definitely keep you posted how these discussions are going, but I wanted to let you know that you've helped me cross over a very important threshold, and I'm now working to transition the support that you gave me into a real global publishing agreement.
And just in case you hadn't seen this, Publishizer's Business Impact Challenge ended on August 30th, and they will be announcing the winner shortly. But I think you might enjoy seeing who the winner was, and that the margin of victory was only 16 pre-orders.

Thank you again for all of your help and support, and I look forward to updating you again after I've made a little more progress with my discussions with Publishers together with Lee and the Publishizer team.
Best,
Philip Sugai
