ARIA began as a screenplay I wrote in 2018, a story that lived in my head long before it ever reached a page. For years, it sat as a script, waiting for the moment I could bring it to life the way I always imagined. Now that moment is here. I’m transforming ARIA into a full novel, expanding the world, the characters, and the emotional depth that the original screenplay only hinted at.
This fundraiser exists so I can give ARIA the launch it deserves. Every contribution goes directly toward marketing — the visibility, outreach, and promotional support needed to make sure this story reaches the readers it was meant for. Independent projects don’t have big studio budgets behind them, so community support truly makes the difference.
