Funding a book published by us basically involves taking pre-orders and getting your book published with funds from prospective readers and backers. This fundraising method offers several benefits.
For authors, it provides necessary finance you require to get the book printed, as well as enable your book to be pre-ordered before it is published.
We guarantee to apply the funds toward the publishing of your book once it meets the set minimum fundraising goal for printing the book. There is no obligation to print a book if you don't find enough pre-order or backers for the book.
Funding Your Book - .How it Works
The author submits a manuscript for consideration and agrees to a printing target that starts from 1,000 copies. You will not be alone responsible for the promotion of your book; Krossway Publishing will work with you all the way, to get your book published.
To do this, we would start by creating a cover, write a review and write promo blurbs. A payment of 200 (non-refundable) would be required to cover part of this initial cost.
Based on the publishing package purchased, we simply apply the rest of the funds raised to the balance of your package and printing copies of the book to distribute to your backers. We encourage supporter incentives to your backers so as to reach your pre-set target and get your book published early.
Authors keep 100% ownership of their work, Please note that Ezyfunding cannot be used to offer equity, financial returns, or to solicit loans. And if you should decide not to continue with the publishing of your book, every contribution collected will be refunded to your backers/sponsors and not to the author.

What do backers get in return?
Backers that support a book project on CrossFunding receive advance knowledge of your book, and help your project come to life without your bearing the cost of printing the book. They also get to choose from a variety of discount and rewards offered by the author. Rewards will vary from project to project, but often include a huge discount off the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of the book plus other items such as (CD, DVD, or books by the author or the publishers
