Dispatch from Disneyland – Support a Disney fan’s book project!

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

September 4 is a big day for one of my favorite people in the Disney online community – John Frost of The Disney Blog. It’s his birthday, and it’s also the day that his dream of publishing his book gets kickstarted.

John has been using the Web site Kickstarter to raise the funds to publish his short story collection Dispatch from Disneyland.

Dispatch from Disneyland   Support a Disney fans book project!Here’s what he says about the book:

Back when LaughingPlace.com still had that new website smell, I was asked to pen a regular column. I decided to tell a story, my story, the story of my love for Disneyland. The goal was to share a little bit of the magic with those who couldn’t visit Walt Disney’s crown jewel theme park on a regular basis.

These stories connect with the emotions I feel when at Disneyland. Some focus on the little moments of magic while others have a broader scope. Together they tell the story of the park’s history, cast members, and possible futures.

Over the years, many readers suggested I turn my series into a book. Which, I must say, is a great idea. I’ve been polishing the Dispatches to a shine for over a year now and the goal is finally in sight. There are just a few hoops left to jump through and the final bits of show quality to check before it’s ready.

I know that many of you read and use all the Disney info that John has published in thousands of posts on The Disney Blog, and you’ll want to read this book that has been a dream of his for years! There are just a few days left to help him get it off the ground, so if you haven’t done it yet, go to Kickstarter today and make a pledge.

At Kickstarter, you can give as little as $1, or you can read about the rewards for the different pledge levels that John is offering. Your pledge will basically equate to you pre-ordering a copy (or multiple copies) of his book, but it will make a huge difference if you do it now.

John has met his initial fundraising goal to bring the book to publication, and every dollar that’s pledged now will help him make the book better. He’s hoping to hire an illustrator and even get some help with orchestrating and recording a song that he wrote to accompany one of the stories.

Do it for John’s birthday! Do it for me! Do it because you know you’ll want the book!

Disclosure notice: I was not paid, bribed, begged, cajoled or otherwise coerced into posting about John’s project. I just think HE’S AWESOME, and he deserves the support of everyone who reads Disney news online. :)
