Helping to spread the word about this nanny book project. How has no one thought of this before?

You're probably the author lets be honest here. She has gotten over $2500 in two weeks, which is great but in te next two weeks she needs to make $7500 correct? As great of an idea it is, I doubt she will be able to fund it.

PP here, sorry she is close to $3000, but only has 18 days to get the rest. I was a bit off

Are you one of the nanny magazine crazies too?

That picture looks like it was colored by a 3 year old.

I don't understand the bitchy responses to this post.

So wait a minute... If I were to pledge money, I would have to hand over $25 to be able to get an actual book sent to me? That seems kind of crazy. I would just wait until it was actually published and then buy it. I am sure it wouldn't be selling for more than $10. $5 pledge gets you a thank you. Wow. This person also hasn't done their research, there are other books with similar themes already.

I thought that was what the book was actually about before reading the page. A book that your charge could do about THEIR own nanny. They could color it themselves. Kind of like an "about me" fill-in book.

There's already a good book about a child getting a new nanny- and the author didn't have to beg people for money to publish it.

There's a children'sbook out there already about explaining to a child what a nanny is.

I'm sure there is more than this one out there too. So no need to beg for money to publish a book that's already out there.

Crowd sourcing or funding is not begging, it is a viable way in today's social media connected world to raise money. I have a friend who opened a book store by using kickstarter, people release albums, produce films (James Franco apparently has a kickstarter) and yes, have books published. As questionable as this specific project is, the fund raising is not, she is simply being technologically savvy and using a medium that is totally recognized in the main stream...some of you are really starting to show your ages (and bad attitudes).

+1 Kickstarter is an awesome platform! And for all of you anti-Nanny Magazine people, they got fully funded on Kickstarter so why can't this author?! If you don't like something, move on - don't be so hateful - it makes you look like an ass.
