The team at Dreaming Robot Press has raised more than $4,600 for the 2016 Young Explorers Adventure Guide. This science-fiction anthology will feature stories for middle-grade readers. We’ve embedded a video about the project above.
Here’s more from the Kickstarter page: “All of our authors are paid pro-rate for their work, because we feel it’s the right thing to do. And just like last year, school and public libraries will be able to request sponsored copies, free of charge. Which means the upfront costs are a little high, especially for a tiny indie press. But we believe the anthology has a small but important part to play in the battle for equality (and good fiction) and that it’s a worthwhile challenge.”
