There’s less than a week to go in our Kickstarter campaign to publish START HERE, a book designed to help you read your way into authors you’ve been wanting to try, and the good news just keeps coming.

J. Courtney Sullivan, author of the bestselling novels Commencement and Maine, has joined the line-up of celebrity contributors (including Joe Hill and Erin Morgenstern) to START HERE! If you’ve never been To the Lighthouse, and your answer to “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?” is “I am,” you’re in luck. Sullivan will write her START HERE chapter about Woolf, providing a 3- or  4-book sequence to guide you through the oft-intimidating author’s work.

At this posting, we are at $17,549 toward our $25K goal with 492 backers and 4 days to go. Check out the START HERE Kickstarter page for more details, enter the Out of Print Clothing giveaway when you share START HERE with your social networks, and give Courtney a shout on Twitter @jcourtsull.
