It’s National Cheese Day and we’re now hours away from CHEESE! finishing on Kickstarter!

The campaign ends TONIGHT (Tuesday 4th June) at 11:59pm (BST).

Please support this funny picture book. It’s written by me and illustrated by Johnny Schumann. You can order a copy of the book or grab an exclusive mini comedy writing guide!

Thanks to the help of almost 200 awesome people, CHEESE! is fully funded and we’re now trying to stretch to £5,000. I’m confident we can get there!

This has been a really exciting few weeks and it’s been amazing to see people from all over the world coming together to help make an independent book. It really means a lot. 

I’ve met a lot of new people and have had the opportunity to reconnect with friends and family members who have all come together to help achieve a dream. 

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has helped us to get to this position – the backers, people who have shared posts or sent encouraging messages, and the brilliant writers/creators/actors who provided advanced reviews (including a writer for my favourite sitcom, Boy Meets World, which is absolutely mind blowing):

Johnny and I can’t wait to get to work on the next stages of CHEESE!

As soon as the campaign is over and the funding is processed, we’ll be pushing forward to finish the book. Plans are in place to make this happen and we’re ready to go. 

Thanks to the amazing support of the community around CHEESE! we’re more motivated than ever before and ready to deliver a book that families will treasure for generations. A book with a nice message but most importantly makes kids and grown-ups laugh, together. 

Johnny and I both work in animation (myself as a writer and Johnny as a creative producer and director) so we’ll be bringing that experience to CHEESE! to create a book that’s full of energy and fun. 

You’ve seen a few preview images already but there’s a LOT of exciting artwork still to come. I’ll be sharing previews as things develop, leading up to the release of the book. We can’t wait to present the final book to you.

All money raised will be going towards making CHEESE! as “PERFECT” as possible. So the more we raise, the better the book will be. 

We want to make sure every backer gets a reward that they’re really happy with. We’re so excited about sharing CHEESE! with you and are confident you’ll share that excitement when you receive your rewards. 

Keep sharing

As we’re now into the final hours, please keep sharing CHEESE! with your friends and family. Every share helps us to reach a wider audience. 

You can also save this image and use it as a story on Facebook, Instagram or put it in a TikTok or YouTube short.

Add-ons

These last few hours also gives you an opportunity to check the available add-ons and manage your pledge. 

This includes some really cool sticker packs, notebooks, thank you videos, and the option to have your name in the book. 

We’d love to include as many names as possible in the book so don’t miss out!

Add-ons are a great way for you to get something extra whilst giving our funding total a little boost.

As always, you can get in touch with any questions or if you need extra info. I’m always happy to discuss CHEESE! with anyone who’s interested in the project. 

A lot of our backers are new to Kickstarter. Hopefully everything makes sense but if you have any questions about how things work, please let me know.

You can find lots of help and support directly from Kickstarter here https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/categories/115000499033-Backer-questions

Thank you again to EVERYONE who has helped make this such a positive experience – you’re the best and we literally couldn’t do any of this without you.

FINAL FEW HOURS – LET’S GOOOOOOOOO!
