Authors Rebecca Jaycox and MA Phipps Show How Collaborations Can Be Kickstarted

This episode of Excelsior Journeys is sponsored by author Andrew Allen Smith.

This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois starts his month-long miniseries simply titled "You Are Not Alone." This begins with a conversation with one of the most successful collaborations in indie publishing today: authors Rebecca Jaycox & MA (Molly) Phipps. After working as an editor and a cover designer at the now-defunct Aelurus Publishing, Jaycox & Phipps decided to join forces and tell a sweeping epic paranormal young adult trilogy entitled The Origin Prophecy. Once the trilogy was complete, the two decided to take it to the next level by creating an omnibus edition and setting it up as a Kickstarter campaign. It did not take long for the campaign to become fully funded, and with just a few days left, it is less than $250 away from reaching $10,000.
