Well that's it! We're all done and dusted, and in great shape. Thanks so much to all of you who contributed to making Above The Fold a reality, I’m so humbled and grateful. Now the real work begins here at #AboveTheFold HQ. Over the next few months, I’ll be working with our designers (@workbypost), printers and publishers to produce a book and the rewards that we can be proud of. Throughout this period, I will be keeping you all updated here with pictures and progress reports on what I’m up to.
So what happens next?
Kickstarter will send me all of the relevant data over the next couple of days and after that I'll be co-ordinating with our good friends at BackerKit to get the final surveys/confirmations sent out (this is will confirm each of your orders and rewards). BackerKit says that this can take up to two weeks, so please bear with me and don't panic if you don't receive anything before then.
In the meantime, feel free to message me here with any questions ye might have and I'll answer as quick as I can.
Thanks again, everyone! This will end up being a pretty special book!

While it’s been a tough few years for journalism and truth, it’s been an even tougher 2020 for most people. I’ve been blown away by the generosity and support of both friends and strangers alike. We have just reached 200 backers in 3 weeks!! Thank you for having the courage to take a change and continue to support the arts. That you all so much for your support and generosity

Hi All
Just to let you know that we are getting closer each day to our goal! The last 24 hours has seen a flurry of online traction due mainly to The Guardian newspaper publishing a link to the campaign with a large selection of images (link below) and to Lucy White's wonderful piece in Image Magazine (link below also).
Please continue to promote this campaign as best you can and feel free to share the links below. There is more coverage due over the next couple of days, so ill keep you all posted.
4 Days to go, Lets make it happen!!!
