Week 3 - and the meaning of life, the universe and everything

Wednesday, 7 March 2018

This morning I was delighted to discover that we've hit 42% funded, with 93 wonderful, beautiful backers!

42, of course, is the answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything as featured in the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy (my Desert Island Discs book), and so I'm doubly happy. I'm still hitting my 1% per day target, and it would be great to hit 50% this time next week.

I'm still finding that personalised emails and messages are the best way to get responses and pledges, but my address book will inevitable run out at some point, so I've started experimenting with some social media ideas to get the word out there. If you're on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, do please share them far and wide!

You can help make this book happen. Please share it, and encourage your followers to share it, too.
