Though the Kickstarter is over, I've decided to use BackerKit as a platform for fulfillment and pre-order. If you know somebody that might benefit from the book, please direct them to the store here.

Thanks again for your support. I have tens of thousands of words written so far, and some of them are good!

With love,
Brandon

Thank you!

You made the Developer Relations book a reality! The stretch goal was reached, and a Spanish edition of the book will be in the works shortly after the English version is delivered. 

I'm hard at work on planning and writing draft chapters. There's a long way to go, but I am excited for the journey. Thanks for making it possible. Stay tuned for more updates. 

Cheers,
Brandon

Here we go! It's the final day of the campaign. First, THANK YOU for making this project successful. I am humbled by your support and I will work hard to make sure you are happy with the final product. If you know anyone that might want to back the project, please let them know that time is running out.

The first stretch goal, a Spanish translation, is only $275 away. Si conoces a alguien que quiera leer el libro en español, por favor dígales.

Thank you,
Brandon

With just under 15 days left to go, the project is 110% funded. Thanks again for your support! I can't wait to bring this book to life.

I've updated the campaign a bit with a new graphic highlighting the rewards. I've also released an additional 15 limited edition backer rewards, so if you missed out but want to upgrade, now is your chance.

If the project reaches $6,500, a Spanish version of the book will also be made available. All backers at the $12+ level will receive a license for a Spanish digital copy of the book in addition to the existing pledge rewards

If you've got a moment to help amplify the kickstarter to your network, I'd appreciate it! If you're on twitter, you can click here to tweet.

I am very excited to be speaking at DevRelCon Tokyo as well as helping out with DevRelCon Beijing (more info soon). Make sure to keep an eye on devrel.net for developer relations news, events, and insight!

Sincerely,
Brandon

Woohoo!

A little over a week after launching, the goal has been met. Thank you. You've helped a lifelong dream get a little closer to becoming real. I am very grateful for your support and I will work hard to deliver a great book.

Stretch Goals

There's 3 weeks left to go in the campaign. There are currently two possible stretch goals, both intended to increase the accessibility and reach of the book.

$6,500 - Spanish Translation
$7,500 - English Audiobook

You've already done your part. But maybe you've got a friend that hasn't seen this project yet and likes getting links from friends?

Next Steps

A website that supports the book is in the works. I am planning to finish building it and have it launched by the end of next weekend. Then it will be time to dive fully into research, mind mapping, planning, and getting things going.

Thanks again for all your help and support and please get in touch if I can help with anything.
