I recently wrote a how-to book called KICKSTARTER SECRETS that shared all of my best tips for running crowdfunding campaigns based on my experiences with the Kickstarters for CODE MONKEY SAVE WORLD, THE PRINCESS WHO SAVED HERSELF, and ABC DISGUSTING.
Today I’m thrilled to announce the release of an audiobook of KICKSTARTER SECRETS, which you can buy right now at GregPakShop.com! If you’ve ever thought about crowdfunding, this is the book for you.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks as always!

A few months ago, Michi Trota asked me if I’d be interested in writing an essay for Uncanny Magazine. I said sure and cheerfully suggested a light-hearted piece about my old Dungeons and Dragons notebooks from middle school, which I’d recently rediscovered (along with the incredibly flattering photo of 13-year-old-me above).
But when I sat down to write, I started sweating. Because digging through those old notebooks was as harrowing as it was hilarious and the essay turned into the most personal thing I’ve ever published as an adult. It’s all about adolescence and writing and worldbuilding and the Boy Scouts and biracial Asian American identity.
And centaurs. Lots of centaurs.
Last week, I was shocked to learn that the Universal Fan Con, which I was scheduled to attend this weekend, had been postponed. But I’m thrilled to report that some awesome folks have scrambled in a matter of days to put together a one-day pop-up event called WICOMICON in Baltimore on Saturday that I’ll be attending as a guest!
The event runs from 10 am to 7 pm in the Wicomico building and will feature a number of comics creators and comics and pop culture guests who had originally planned to attend the UFC. Tickets are just $10 — and only $5 for Fan Con ticket holders. Please visit wicomicon.com for all the details!
Huge thanks to Keith Chow, the Nerds of Color, Black Heroes Matter, New Release Wednesday, theblerdgurl, André Robinson of Carbon-Fibre Media and Elijah Kelley of the Be A Boss App for pulling this pop-up together on such short notice.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
I don’t think I’ve ever had as many books come out in a single day as this!
