Crowdfunding Spotlight: How to THINK when you WRITE Volume 2 by Robin Etherington

The Etherington Brothers have just launched their latest Kickstarter, this time for How to THINK when you WRITE Volume 2 – with options to get a copy of the first volume if you missed it, and their other brilliant How to THINK when you DRAW books, too. And, as ever, it’s proving a mind blowing crowdfunding success story.

How to THINK when you WRITE Volume 2

How to THINK when you WRITE volumes 1 and 2 are each 200 page full colour hardback books measuring 8.5″ by 8.5″, gathering together four years of Robin Etherington’s wonderful writing tutorials, tackling an enormous range of subjects.

Created as a companion to his brother Lorenzo’s record-breaking How to THINK when you DRAW series, Robin’s book explores a vast array of subjects, designed to benefit creators of all skill levels, from writers wrangling their first plot to the seasoned scribe.

Volume 1 has been completely sold out since the last campaign, and Volume 2 is brand new and being launched exclusively on Kickstarter – and has already gained a staggering £42,000-plus in support, far in excess of its £1000 target.

This book will not be available anywhere else or online this year, so your only means to get it is through Kickstarter. All their books – all weighty tomes! – are fantastic resources for comic creators, so do check out the project.
