COVER DESIGN AND A BONUS REWARD

Hi everybody!
I continue to be absolutely overwhelmed by the support and success of this project. We're past the 400% and $7,000 levels and still have more than a week to go.
Two things I wanted to bring to your attention.
First! Bonus Reward: For getting us over the 400% level, we're giving every backer at the $10 or higher level a bonus reward: a free copy of an e-book by one of our team members. Exact details to follow, but you will have a variety of books from numerous genres to choose from. If you're already at that level, thank you so much. If you're still at the $1 or $5 level, we'll just keep sweetening the pot until you can't stand to miss out. :-)
Second! Cover Selection is Live: Over on our facebook page:

Our cover designer Arthur Wright is posting several concept sketches for our cover. He'll be taking votes for favorites, and suggestions for refinement, all week long. If you'd like to be a part of it, stop by and get involved.
Again, thank you all so much. More to come!

Hello all! We've come so far so quickly, and it's still only the beginning.
As promised, reaching $6,000 in funding means every single backer gets a cool bonus reward, courtesy of our generous friends over at Flash Fiction Aficionado magazine. They've giving everybody who backed our book, even if just for a buck, an e-copy of their very first issue.
How cool is that?
And that's not all! We'll be announcing more opportunities, partnerships, bonus rewards, backer levels, and general shenanigans over the remaining 18 days of our campaign. Stay tuned, and thank you again.
Best,
Jason and the IBWS team.

Thank you all for the massive success we've experienced so far...and it's still really only the beginning.
Our library benefit has ended, but that's not the end of the nifty stuff we're doing for the project.
Here's today's shenanigan.
We're a couple hundred dollars shy of $6,000. If we reach that by midnight PST today, we have a bonus reward that we'll add to _every_ backer level.
Let's see if we can get there.
Remember: I'm serious about adding it to _every_ backer level, so if any of your people just want to do the $1 option, they still get the reward.
Thank you all again. More to come.

I promised online that, if we hit 300% funding by noon today I would do that silly ice bucket challenge thing out in my backyard during this cold snap.
It took you people 30 seconds to seal my fate.
So if you want to see the results of your good work, tune in at the FB page at 12 PST.

Thank you all for all of your support. There's exciting news coming down the pipe, too, so stay tuned!

Folks...I am overwhelmed by what's happened so far, and we're not even two days in yet.
With your help, we've gathered pledges for over 180 books gifted to libraries worldwide. We're closing in on 300% funding before the end of the day. We've been selected as a Kickstarter Project We Love.
So Thank You So Much!
Because our backers are so awesome, we're adding something for all of you. Our authors are getting a raise. Our editorial staff is getting a raise. The libraries keep getting raises. So you should get one, too.
I've created a metric: the librogabe (a stack of books as tall as my son, Gabriel). 1 librogabe = 64 books.
For each librogabe of gifted books, we're adding another story and author to the anthology. With 185 books already accounted for, we are a whisker away from 3 librogabes: 3 new authors. I'm hoping to see 4 or 5 librogabes before the library benefit ends on midnight, Thursday the 31st....and our backers and writers are just the people to help make that happen.
Again, thank you all so much. More to report soon.
Best,
Jason and the IBWS team.
