Seventh Star Press’ Kickstarter for Writer’s Workshop by Michael Knost

From Stephen Zimmer and one of Imagicopter’s publisher friends, Seventh Star Press:

The Big Announcement:
We have the opportunity to release an incredible book from award-winning editor Michael Knost featuring collaborators such as Neil Gaiman, Orson Scott Card, Joe Haldeman, James, Gunn, and many more called ‘The Writers’ Workshop of Science Fiction and Fantasy’.

We have a new Kickstarter page up with a great video produced by Dan and Jackie Gamber with their Allotrope Media crew. Take a look at the project and let us know what you think. If you have some places to spread the word, please do. This would be a wonderful project for both us and writers everywhere.

The proceeds from this Kickstarter project are to pay the contributors as well as printing costs. Support would be greatly appreciated, and there is a finished product waiting to be released.

Besides, the teaser short film is quite a joy to watch!
