I've considered that, but most crowdfunding sites require putting together so much media (video presentation, product and offer details, etc.) that I could write half the book in as much time as it would take to prep a Kickstarter campaign.
So instead I'm inclined at the moment to use crowdfunding in reverse: foot the up-front costs myself, and allow people to donate once they receive it and can evaluate what they feel its value is.
I may use one of the crowdfunding sites for larger things down the road, though.
And then again, if a man can pull in $55,492 for a crowdfunded potato salad maybe I'm overthinking this and should just dive in. :)
