Michelle Anderson, multimedia producer extraordinaire and author of the online memoir The Miracle in July, is actively exploring the boundaries of storytelling.  Building off the unique and inclusive way in which she has created the draft of The Miracle in July, she plans to eventually present the memoir in several different formats: a hardback book, a downloadable soundtrack, music CDs and interactive DVDs, a mobile augmented reality game, a feature film, a web series, and a multimedia ebook.

To accomplish all of this though she needs your help, and to that end she has started a fundraising project on Kickstarter dubbed “Destination Denmark.”  The funds raised will send Anderson (and her editor/documentarian Dr. Sarah Holloway) on a media gathering trip to Denmark, media which will allow the aforementioned projects to move forward.  To entice potential investors Anderson has come up with several rewards, including: your name in the Thank You section of the first paper edition of The Miracle in July, exclusive access to a travel blog chronicling the trip, a tshirt, button flair, and a signed and bound copy of the 2nd draft of The Miracle in July.

So, now is your chance to help one local author pursue her dreams, while simultaneously being involved in the “exploration of media ecology, and the future of storytelling.”
