Current Goal – 2023 Fan Art Contest Prizes
Description: I’ve always wanted to give bigger and better prizes to the fantastic fans that work so hard on artwork based on my stories for the annual fan art contest. The following proposed prize package was the top-voted option in a 2022 fan survey.

Current Progress Toward Goal – Updated February 28, 2023
The deadline for this goal is September 30, 2023. After this date, this goal will update to the 2024 fan art contest.
Next Goal – Audiobook for The Beast Hunter
Description: Ever since I wrote my first Keltin Moore story, I’ve dreamed of having a professional voice actor narrate my books. While it may take a while to reach this goal, I am willing to wait to ensure that the final product is the best possible adaptation of my most popular novel.
Breakdown:
I will use the Findaway Voices network to audition and hire a professional voice actor and audio engineer to record, edit, and process a complete audiobook version of The Beast Hunter: A Keltin Moore Adventure to be released on as many audiobook platforms as possible. Findaway narrators’ rates are based on the total finished hours for a project, and can range anywhere from $250 to +$500 per finished hour.
Using the Findaway Voices rate calculator, I was able to determine the following specifics:
Manuscript length – 80,000 words
Estimated cost per completed hour – $300
Calculated range – $2,475–$2,925
Averaging the calculated range together, I determined a final, estimated total cost of $2,700.
