Kickstarter is a haven for creative types to receive funding for their projects. In a world where art and creativity tend to be viewed as a fruitless pursuit monetarily, Kickstarter changes all that.

In this episode, we're talking with an author that ran a campaign attempting to preserve J.R.R Tolkien's (writer of Lord of the Rings) house as a public writing space available to the public.

With an ambitious funding goal of almost $700,000, Project Northmoor was able to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from over 2,500 backers.

If you're thinking about launching a creative project of your own, this interview will be super helpful for you.

Hope you enjoy the episode, my friends!
