Hello there folks, I'm Molly! I'm preparing to launch my first ever Kickstarter for my graphic novel soon (about drunken messy fun on a girls' night out around Yorkshire)! I've been commercially published before and I've also been self-publishing since 2014, but I've never launched a crowdfunding campaign. With social media being how/what it is in 2026... I gotta say I'm a tad nervous about stepping into the unknown!

I've been trying to plan ways I can promote the comic online without fighting algorithms or pestering folks. A lot of posts here have been dead helpful already and I know r/indiecomics is full of some really experienced and talented folks, so... does anyone have any experience with organising a fundraiser? Any tips, tricks or promo suggestions would be massively appreciated! Thank you folks. Hope you're having a lovely day :-)

Hello there folk, I'm Molly :-)

I'm getting ready to launch a Kickstarter for my first graphic novel on the 1st September and I've been having a bit of a brain storm about how best to get it in front of the right folks... Rather than spending more hours watching more Youtube videos (with epic editing I must say) I thought I'd come and ask the good folks of Reddit instead! I know there's loads of experience and first-hand knowledge knocking about on here, previous posts have been dead helpful already.

So if you've fun a kickstarter before I'd really love to hear about your experience:

• what worked best for you?
• what ways did you promote your campaign?
• which platforms did you find actually useful?
• what didn't work at all?
• wid anything surprise you?

And more specifically... has anyone here launched a comic or graphic novel on Kickstarter?

Thank you folks. Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Hello there! I've got an upcoming Kickstarter due to launch on September 1st HERE, would really appreciate any tips on how to promote! More than happy also to hear feedback :)

I have a good chunk of followers and fans across social media (10k) but I'm nervous about social media algorithms. I've seen engagement of posts mentioning the Kickstarter page be significantly less and shown to way less people.

Do you folks have any tips? :)

Thank you!

Hello folks,

I'm looking to print some koozies for an upcoming Kickstarter campaign! I'd like some recommendations for printers or businesses (ideally within Europe, but I'm open to ordering outside). Thank you!
