Hello! My name is Liviu and I am the founder of this campaign.
I was grown with Sherlock Holmes stories,being truly fascinated about the detective.
My whole life I wanted to write my own Sherlock Holmes stories but this wasn't possible due to copyright.
Even like that there were few stories that I found worthy of being rivals of Sherlock Holmes.
I always loved to write stories about different characters and such.
Now that summer holiday is here,I stand before you,showing you my most ambitious project until now: Smoking Cards.
Will I be alone at the making of this detective novel that I am implying to write? Not for even a second,as my brother will work side by side with me at this project.
But he doesn't speak English very well,neither do I. That's why he choose not to speak in this video.
Now then,about the book:
Without giving too many spoilers: this book aims to revive the Sherlock Holmes style,because it seems like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took this style of writing to his grave.
But are we implying that we will mimic someone else?
No!This book will be wrote in our own style. It is a book about a detective that is good,but not the best.
Why do we need money to write this novel? In my country the publishing houses are more than perfectionists who don't accept a story that has one little flaw.
And by giving our book to a publisher house we feel like we are giving a personal memory to public use,to treat it how they like.
It isn't very good... In Romania it is very hard to make hear about you. That's why we are asking you for this sum.
How will we use your money? Those funds will go to a lot of things,one of them being research.
Why? Because we want to offer you the best experience we can while you are reading this book,and for that we need to make some medical and forensic research,making our detective more experienced in this domain.
This requires both time and money. We will try our best to offer you,the reader,the greatest experience possible.
But first things first: another part of the money will be used to pay a translator translate the book in many languages,one of them being English.
We could do that ourselves but we don't want to offer you a flawed copy of the book.
And only by achieving our goal will we be able to translate our work,as it would cost a lot of money.
Is this sum enough for what we need? Not even close,but it is good enough to give us a start for publishing a book that we worked on for a lot of time now.
The book isn't finished,and we need your help to finish it,because we care more about what the readers are saying,not the publishing houses or the critics.
You are the only critics that matter. For more details check the description down below and check all the cool perks you can get by donating.
