WriterDojo S9 Ep17: Kickstarters (w/ D.J. Butler)
53m | Oct 28, 2026This week on the WriterDojo, our hosts, authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia, talk Kickstarters with D.J. (Dave) Butler. All three have run campaigns of their own, and each has picked up hard-won tips and tricks along the way. What separates a campaign that funds from one that fizzles? What do they wish they’d known before their first launch? And with AI tools everywhere, how much AI is acceptable in a crowdfunded project, and when is it too much? Plus plenty more on the craft, the business, and the practical realities of writing.
