Fran Sivers is a graphic designer in the UK with a passion for picture books. She told StoryWorld about her latest project.
Hi Fran. Tell me about your project!
Pelican Bill is an alternative bedtime story for kids (AND adults), it follows the adventures of a vomiting pirate, it's quite gruesome really I suppose. I started this project last year with illustrator Leilani Coughlan, she has done some amazing illustrations for this project. A couple of our reward tiers also get our backers personalised drawings of themselves as pirates, its a pretty cool thing for Leilani to do, I’m really excited how that’ll turn out.
How's the campaign going?
We don't have a lot of backers at the moment, but everyone that I’ve talked to has been really excited by the story. And Leilani had a really good response from people at the Dubai comic con last weekend, so I am confident the backers will come in as the project continues.
Why did you choose to use crowdfunding?
To get something like this printed is really expensive and you have to do produce a lot at once to make it worth it. Crowdfunding really seemed the only way.
What is your target and deadline?
We need to reach our goal of £4000 by 4th May, but if we do it, things should move quite quickly for our backers after that. Both me and Leilani are graphic designers in our day-jobs and have a lot of experience in getting projects like this to print.
Where can people find you?
