Women in Tech Book: KICKSTARTER

By Maryann Yin 

Tarah Wheeler Van Vlack, the CEO of Fizzmint, hopes to raise $28,800 on Kickstarter to create a book called Women In Tech. She has enlisted a roster of female technology entrepreneurs to contribute to this work. We’ve embedded a video about the project above—what do you think?

Here’s more about the project: “We’re all working against an unconscious social bias that tells us that women aren’t a good fit for tech. We will help in a practical way by teaching you what you need to know to get into tech, and interspersing instructional chapters with amazing and inspirational autobiographies by hugely successful women telling you how they overcame their obstacles and what they love about technology as a career field.”

Welcome to our Kickstarter Publishing Project of the Week, a feature exploring how authors and publishers are using the fundraising site to raise money for book projects. If you want to start your own project, check out How To Use Kickstarter to Fund Your Publishing Project.
