How Much Does My Body Beeps! Cost?!?

The total cost of creation with me working 24/7 for free is $6250 including illustration, editing, book design and a small custom order of "Katie" + "Josh" Linen Dolls. To do an offset print run the total goes up to $12,482 which would give me the ability to DONATE 1000 books to families with diabetes either directly or through the nonprofits that serve them. We aren't to that point yet but if you are connected to people/organizations that could help make that happen, please let them know about this project. I will be working on creating a pre-order store in case anyone who missed the campaign wants to preorder and on the survey for all of my wonderful backers so I know where to send your rewards. I will be in touch soon with updates and expect to be able to send you the completed ebook in the next couple of weeks. 

Thank you ALL for giving HOOT about diabetes and disability representation for children!

Love, 
Katie

It's the last 24 HOURS for My Body Beeps!

This is the last chance to preorder My Body Beeps! and get a Katie or Josh or Special Custom Linen dolls before the campaign ends tomorrow! We currently have 92 backers and I think we can get to 100 backers before tomorrow. Can you help us get to 100 backers? Share out and support if you can!



Sharing out the last two spreads in the book, one page will go over the different types of diabetes to help educate others and the other provides discussion questions to help support families in discussing the book with their children to assist them in processing their feelings while gaining independence to help take care of their diabetes. Any feedback on these pages is appreciated!

Thank you all so much for your support in making My Body Beeps come to life. I have a meeting with Arlene Soto, the fabulous Book Designer this morning to discuss the design and will be able to set up the files shortly after a proofreading edit by two wonderful editors Val and Stacey Gittens to make sure everything looks just right. 

I am so excited to be able to soon get My Body Beeps into all of your hands as well as to be able to donate copies to families with diabetes. I put out a small post on a parent group for Type 1 about contacting me if they would like a copy but can't afford it and already had a family reach out to me. 

Thank you!
Katie Lockwood and Family
