I wanted to make an audiobook for Welcome to Jessie’s for a while, and I finally found a narrator I think perfectly embodies the spirit of the book. In order to make sure this can be accessible to everyone, including libraries, we want to publish it outside of Audible’s exclusive distribution channels, which means we can’t share the royalties as part of her payment.

I hope that enough people are invested in the book to help us reach our goal so that we can see this come to fruition. Every penny helps. I chose GoFundMe because I can pay her as soon as the money becomes available, and everything we make over that amount can go toward the next book’s narration. And if we don’t meet our goal, we’ll at least have a starting point to work with.

So if you want to know about Jessie’s world but don’t have time to sit and read the book, I hope you’ll check out the GoFundMe and contribute what you can. Anyone who donates $20 or more will get the audiobook. Any less will get the ebook (if they want it) or something equivalent such as artwork.
