Reading with Pictures Kickstarter Campaign - DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS FEB 20th!
Coming March 14—Reading With Pictures Returns to Kickstarter!
Our campaign is looking to fund four gamechanging educational comic projects, and we want you (That’s right, YOU!) to be a part of it. Our first Kickstarter campaign funded the production of the RWP Anthology, which was nominated for two Harvey Awards and has become a fixture in classrooms nationwide. It also provided the start-up capital to get the fledgling Reading With Pictures organization off the ground.
I’d say we did pretty good, but this time, “pretty good” isn’t nearly good enough. We’re taking things to a whole new level, and we need your help to do it. Our goal is to raise at least $75,000 to produce the following:
1. The Graphic Textbook, a comic-based textbook that gives students the high-quality content they want and teachers the standards-based content they need.
2. Education Evolution, a high-end art book celebrating education by some of comicdom’s finest talents.
3. Open Source Comics, an ever-expanding collection of educational comics made available to students, educators and librarians everywhere under the Creative Commons license.
4. RWP 2.0, the evolution of the Reading With Pictures website into a vast resource hub for all things related to comics in the classroom including searchable databases for research papers/course materials, book reviews and recommended reading lists, forums for guided discussions and much more!

To find out how you can make tax deductible contributions to our Kickstarter effort by offering rewards like original art, merchandise and one-of-a-kind fan experiences that appeal to our geekophilic core audience, click here.
We can’t do this without you! Please respond by no later than February 20 to join the cause and help us eliminate illiteracy once and for all!
