Thank you for your support!

It didn't work out this time. We were unable to jointly raise the necessary funds to publish the English translation of "Homestory Deutschland" as the next edition of Witnessed though Startnext although so many of you showed love! 

What's next? 

First of all, everyone who donated money will get it back - please let me know if there are problems with this. Secondly, I am going to try and work out what went wrong (so I would be grateful for your feedback! Just comment below...) Thirdly, I will renew my fundraising efforts for this publication through other channels. You will be able to buy this book very soon! Just a little later than originally planned... :-)

Best wishes,
Sharon Otoo, Witnessed Series Editor

Startnext - New Campaign!


Following the successful crowdfunding campaign for "The Little Book of Big Visions," we are now raising money for the second book in the Witnessed Series.

"Also By Mail" is the story of two AfroGerman sibiling who travel to Nigeria to attend their father's funeral. It is a theatre play written spoken word artist and author Olumide Popoola.

Please check out the Startnext website for more information about the project (in English and German) and please support it!

"Also By Mail" is due to appear in February 2013.

Elijah is here :-)

Thank you once again to all the supporters of Witnessed!

The crowdfunding effort was a complete success the second time around. We raised 702.00 € - over 100.00 € more than than was the target!
THANK YOU.

The happy news about the successful funding of the project coincided with the birth of my fourth son.
I have been in baby paradise since he - Elijah - joined us on Tuesday June 5th 2012.
More news on the progress of Witnessed will follow very soon.
Meanwhile - have a great summer! We certainly will... :-)
