So you want to get your picture book out in the world but you don't have the funds to pay for it yourself and the publishing industry is moving at a sloth-like pace?

Janey Merry is a mum who was facing this exact predicament after completing the manuscript of her debut picture book, Ready, Set, Sloth. So she decided to launch a kickstarter campaign. Not only did she raise enough funds to cover the production of the book, but she got to meet a baby sloth in the process.

In this episode, learn all about this crowdfunding newcomer's winning strategy and the many spinoffs that have happened since.
