DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVORITE READ

Welcome to the Kickstart Together Showcase! This page is your gateway to discovering amazing indie books launching right now on Kickstarter.

 

What is Kickstart Together?


It’s a special collaboration between Reader Nation, Author Nation, and Kickstarter, designed to amplify indie authors and help YOU find exclusive new books before they hit the shelves.

 

These authors are creating collectible editions, offering bonus content, and inviting readers like you to be part of their creative journey.

 

Why back these projects?


Because when you support a Kickstarter campaign, you’re doing more than just pre-ordering a book.


You're empowering authors to create bold, innovative stories (while getting special perks and rewards you won’t find anywhere else). 

 

Special Bonus

 

Back three (or more) campaigns in the Kickstart Together Showcase, and you'll receive a VIP Swag Bag packed with five books from featured signing authors — a $100+ value!

 

How to claim:

  • Back three or more campaigns

  • Email hello@authorventuresllc.com with links to the campaigns you supported

  • Pick up your VIP Swag Bag at Reader Nation — November 14, 2026, at the Horseshoe Hotel in Las Vegas
