A bit of news: Entrevestor Editor Carol Moreira will release her second Young Adult novel this summer, and we’re inviting all our readers to check out her crowdfunding campaign to pre-order the book and contribute to the project.
Membrane is a fantasy book for teenagers about a bullied teen called Tanya who suddenly finds she can travel to an alternate universe and encounter another version of herself. Her alternate universe double is cool and confident, if a bit bossy, and the two strike up an unusual friendship as they face the threat of inter-universal conflict.
Membrane is published by Fierce Ink Press, which in its first year has captured the 2012 Solution Agency Startup Challenge, which recognizes great new businesses in P.E.I. The company last year published The Night Has Teeth by Kat Kruger, which won the 34th Atlantic Writing Competition. Just this week, Kruger’s book was selected to appear in The Canadian Children’s Books Centre’s Best Books for Kids & Teens Spring Edition 2013. And Co-Publishers Colleen McKie and Kimberly Walsh are hoping for the same success for Membrane.
“From the opening lines, I was pulled into the world of Membrane, not just by the characters and the story, but by Carol's writing,” said McKie. “Kimberly and I knew that there was something special about Membrane. From the get-go, Carol has been wonderful to work with and the collaboration with her on getting Membrane ready for publication has been fun and also rewarding.”
Carol’s first novel was Charged, published by James Lorimer in 2008.
Please check out the Indiegogo campaign, which will help cover the costs of printing, designing and marketing the book. The target is $2,320 and they’ve already breached the 20 percent market, which is critical to its success. Contributing to the campaign is a great way to pre-order the book, get some really cool swag and help the publishing community.
“When I love a book I want everyone that I know to read it and share in its awesomeness,” said McKie. “I can't wait until July when everyone else will get a chance to fall in love with Membrane.”
