THE PLAN

I'm happy writing this book, but a brilliant book needs resources to come into the market. So by raising $10,000 through this pre-order campaign, I will raise the money to push the book over the finish line and into your hands. I aim to have this book out by late 2017 and with your help that will be possible.  Corporate and bulk orders are welcome. Contact Raj at raj@rajgavurla.com to enquire.

HOW (funds will be used)

The funds from this campaign will be used for professional editing, design, and for the first print run.  100 copies will be donated to four separate charities to help those in need.

WHEN

The 35,000 word manuscript is being written. After the crowdfunding campaign, the plan is:
Editing: The book will be edited in late 2017
Publication: The book is expected to be printed and delivered by early 2018 depending on where you live. Just in time for summer reading for those in the Northern Hemisphere or a cozy winter read in the Southern Hemisphere!

My plan is to attract a publisher based on this campaign. If 500 copies are pre-ordered, there is a greater chance a quality publisher may be interested in distributing this book. Your support can definitely make a difference, and I am very grateful for your consideration.
