Author’s book dream rests on fundraising from fans
A FIRST-time author who came agonisingly close to a book deal is hoping a quirky fundraising source will realise his publishing ambitions.
Davide Arbisi, 26, of Bulkington Avenue, Worthing, has penned sci-fi novel 7-19, but the difficulties of getting a publishing deal has led him to alternative sources.
He is hoping to raise £2,000 from online crowdsourcing site Kickstarter, in which people donate money in exchange for incentives.
