LAUNCH TEAM
Welcome!
We are so glad you have joined our Launch Team for our upcoming Kickstarter preorder campaign! With your help, we can spread the word about Larry Daley’s upcoming picture book, FLOAT! As a team member, you'll have access to weekly announcements that you can easily share on your social media platforms with corresponding images. It will only take a small amount time, but your support will make a huge impact!
Ideally, if you and your contacts can be the first backers, we can plan to reach our goal on day one! Yes! This has been done before and can bolster our reach through Kickstarter as being their “Projects We Love!”
We would love to thank you with a special X that will be automatically sent to those who share and post during the campaign. Thank you!
Please feel free to share this summary PDF with your friends and family!
