Crowdfunding Comics — ‘I Do, I Don’t: How To Build A Better Marriage’

by Richard Bruton

A new crowdfunding campaign to get behind – I Do, I Don’t, How To Build A Better Marriage could be the perfect marriage manual you’ve been after!

As the press to this one says:

Why doesn’t marriage come with a manual? Now it does – in graphic detail!

Written by licensed marriage and family therapist and psychotherapist Chandrama Anderson MA, LMFT, and illustrated by artist Nur Jaffar Latip, I Do I Don’t looks like a really well put together bit of non-fiction comics, designed to help you do more in your marriage and make your relationships better

It’s raising money over at Crowdfundr and needs your support as the platform tends not to get the traffic that places like Kickstarter do.

“I Do I Don’t: How to Build a Better Marriage tells the story of Ben and Grace on their journey of learning and practicing the tools and skills needed for a lifetime of intimacy. Each chapter introduces a new relationship skill, and ends with Putting It In Practice, a set of easy-to-follow exercises to help the reader develop a personal understanding of the skills needed to build and strengthen any relationship.”

Soaring Penguin Press is an Eisner and Ignatz Award-nominated UK-based graphic novel publisher who’ve got a great record of delivering stunning books, including Loisel‘s Peter Pan, To End All Wars: the Graphic Anthology of the First World War, Ellen Lindner’s The Black Feather Falls, and the excellent Meanwhile anthology where Gary Spencer Millidge‘s incredible and essential Strangehaven was recently completed. Recent books include Mark Stafford’s retrospective Salmonella Smorgasbord and Mario Cesarb a powerful work about a young gay man growing up in repressive Catholic culture of Brazil, which we previewed here.

Soaring Penguin made a switch to crowdfunding as a business model as a way to support the books and support the creators, meaning a better deal for all.
