Congratulations on completing the campaign on BackerKit! I can hardly wait to get my hands on the eagerly awaited book.
Project Update: The Sum of All Writers - A special gift

I don't trust kickstarters and similar because they are notorious in the gaming industry. However, I trusted Brandon and joined his kickstarter and was pleasantly surprised. I am here because Brandon Sanderson recommended this backerkit. I love supporting upcoming authors and love that this backerkit supports writers who may not have the funds to attend classes and learn.
Project Update: The Sum of All Writers - Stretch Goal #2
And in the spirit of a Treasure Hunt, we have a special “hunt” for you! We are designing an exclusive puzzle hunt inspired by each story in the book.
There’s a little something for everyone–word, variety, and logic-based puzzles.
As you solve each puzzle, you will unearth a clue word that will ultimately lead you to a final answer. If you figure out this final answer in the time allotted, we will have an extra secret reward for you!
When we reach our third stretch goal, we have a most exceptional treasure waiting for you. You don’t want to miss this one: it’s from the “Wizard of Storytelling” himself.
We’ll tell you exactly what it is once we reach the goal. To help us get there faster, please continue to support our project by sharing it with your friends and family, especially those who love to read and create stories to share.
Again, thanks for all you are doing to support our mission. You, indeed, are a treasure,
The Sum of All Writers Team
Project Update: The Sum of All Writers - Stretch goal #1 reached
Thank you so much for seeing our vision and jumping on board the backer train to help us bring more light and magic to the world.
We are happy to announce that we have unlocked our first stretch goal! We will be helping everyone “mark their journey” with us by creating a memorable set of printable bookmarks commemorating this project inspired by stories in the anthology.
We have now cruised past our first stretch goal and are quickly zooming in on our second.
Our second stretch goal reward may be one you will find “puzzling” at first, but we think you will have a lot of fun with it!
Supporting this project aids us in helping more writers create incredible stories to share. This is our primary mission for this project: As students and friends of David Farland, AKA The Wizard of Storytelling, we want to illuminate his teaching methods and “Pay forward” the gift he has generously shared with us.
We appreciate your support.
Thanks again! You are the BEST!
But I'm always happy to find something new to read. I'm looking forward to this anthology

I had the chance to do some covers and other artwork for Dave. My heart feels heavy when I think about his passing and I miss my friend. He was always ready with a wonderful story to share, making me feel important to him and his work. After college, he commissioned me to do my very first fantasy illustration for "The Sum of All Men." An incredible book! This campaign makes me so happy to see and to know that his legacy will grow and benefit the world for generations. Miss you, Dave!
Project Update: The Sum of All Writer's - Day 1 Update
What an incredible 24 hours!!! With your support, we met our original funding goal in just over four hours.! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This means so much to us. We are watching in amazement as your support continues to pour in.
Will the they be numbered? I noticed they were limited to 100. Either way I’m excited to see I was 7/100.
Will the ebook be provided to backers of the paperback or hardcover editions of the anthology?
One proven method of speeding up the learning process is to get a teacher or mentor who can cut time off the learning curve.
Are you now, or have you ever thought of writing?
What three additional colors would you like to see on Farland? Please note that some colors may not be available.
Please suggest up to three or 'like' one of the color suggestions already made.
Project Update: Subject: The Sum of All Writers is Launching on Tuesday!
Project Update: Countdown to The Sum of All Writers
Five of us are writing coaches certified through the Farland Fiction Coaching Course. David Farland (Dave Wolverton) was an internationally best-selling author and a teacher and mentor to countless people honing their craft, including best-selling authors.
We have created an anthology of captivating science fiction and fantasy stories accompanied by insightful commentary on how Dave's teachings have shaped our craft. This anthology will transport you to realms of wonder and imagination.
The anthology also includes three bonus short stories by four award-winning authors influenced by Dave.
But that's not all! We have exciting news! We have recently been granted permission to include Dave's story "On My Way to Paradise: The Novella," winner of the Writers of the Future Contest.
Here's where you come in–help us spread the word to make this project a success! Share our project with your friends, family, and fellow readers and writers.

Together, we can honor Dave's legacy and support emerging writers. With your help, we are paying it forward: proceeds from "The Sum of All Writers" BackerKit campaign will go to the David Farland Endowment Scholarship to help sponsor emerging writers to Superstars Writing Seminars, a conference Dave helped found.
Stay tuned for our official launch announcement in a few days, and let your friends know about The Sum of All Writers.
