Hi everyone, 

I got an email from a reader who needs a little help. I don't have any experience with fund-raising and I don't have a good idea here. Can anyone help our reader out? Any resources out there? 

Thanks,

 

–email below

This might be extremely random, but I thought I'd give it a shot. My friend is running into various health problems, his sight is a huge issue in particular. He's been to many specialists with no real answers or results. He would like to try an alternative medical procedure that is not covered by  insurance. I'm coming to you because we were discussing possible ways to raise money for his issue. I can do a lot of things, but fund-raising has always been a weak point for me, even for myself. I would greatly appreciate any information, any starting points, suggestions, or ways to garner support for something like this.

J and Nate shuttered Love Drop at the end of 2011 because it was overloading them with work. But I agree, he's probably the person I'd ask first.

 I'm looking for editors, beta-readers, and some demographic research for my upcoming novel, Once Upon a Saturn Moon. If you like reading soft sci-fi thrillers, maybe with a touch of romance thrown in, you can find more information at http://seampublishing.com/once…..aturn-moon
