I have launched a crowdfunding campaign for the English version of my novel Wall to Wall: the Art of Moving On, for two reasons. First, because the book is relevant today. The path for a book to go through the publishers first in the home country, then to get invested into as a product for the international market, takes years, and besides it is less likely for a first-book author. Second, I believe in the power of audience and authors, Gatekeepers do play an important role in the pre-selection process, but I did not eliminate quality-check from the process: the original Hungarian version of the book has been proofread, and rewrote based on feedback of pros. That would stand for the English version as well: this is why crowdfunding is needed: proofreading, editing and giving it a cool cover: fairly paid. This book popped out three years ago, and since then I have been working on the text coming back to it constantly: adding, subtracting and deepening the text. SUPPORT the book: so it gets to the readers. faludi julianna An excerpt from the book has been recently published in Hung in Prea the Literary Magazine. Read it on my page. An interview with Thomas Madreiter, Director for Urban Planning at City Council of Vienna.
