We have 38 hours left of my campaign and I am so close to my final stretch goal!!!
I am indebted to all of you for your support and I look forward to making you proud to be part of this journey with me.
The visions that I have for this book/brand, far exceed anything I have ever done. This experience, reaffirms my belief that there is a market for books like mine. I can’t wait to share with you all of the things I have in store!!
I am $904 away from my final stretch goal. Here’s how you can help me end this campaign with a bang:
Share my book with your network. I’ve attached a graphic should you want to share it on instagram.
Consider increasing your pledge amount and adding a book to your order to gift/donate.
Know of any small retailers that might be interested in selling my book? Send me their info!
Know of any teachers that might want books for their classroom, send them my way!
Lastly, I want to shine some light on another campaign. Leigha and Heather are fellow indie authors and created a beautiful book about the power of imagination. Their campaign ends in 24 hours so please check it out!

I added a new reward tier!!

After receiving lots of wholesale inquiries, I’ve decided to add a new reward tier, specifically for fellow florists and smaller retailers who are interested in stocking my book.
The new tier includes 24, signed, hardcover books at a wholesale price.
Every shop that carries my book, will be listed as a stockist on my website and will be highlighted on my Instagram accounts with an audience of almost 60k followers.
I love supporting small businesses and I am so honored that so many shops have expressed interested in my book.
As of today there will be at least one stockist in New Orleans, Los Angeles and of course, my beloved Brooklyn.
There are only 5 days left of my campaign so if you know of a retailer that might be interested in carrying my book, please let me know or share the below link with them.

I have more great news!! 🌸🥂💗🙏🏾

I have lots of updates for you!!
Because of your overwhelming support, I met my second stretch goal and now, one school will be getting a donation of up to 30 books, enamel pins and a custom curriculum. You can still nominate a school in comment section of my campaign.
My next stretch goal reward is my favorite because I get to bring my love of flowers to you through a virtual flower workshop, for all backers.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or you just want to beautify your home, I’m going to show you how to turn your store bought flowers into a beautiful, eye catching centerpiece.
I only have 7 days to get to my next goal. Here’s how you can help me:
🌸 Pre-order a copy of our book through Kickstarter. Although the digital book reward is great, this is a book that you’ll want a physical copy of. If you want to donate your book, I can help you find a school or organization accepting book donations.
🌸 If you have already pre-ordered a book, consider increasing your pledge and/or adding on another book or some merch to your order.
🌸 If you own a bookstore, flower/gift/specialty shop, consider placing a wholesale order. I officially have two stockists which I’m elated about! You can email me at [email protected] for wholesale pricing.
🌸 If you know someone who would love my book, please send them our way!
Once again, I am so thankful and humbled by your support.

I have more great news to share! Last night, I met my first stretch goal of 20k because of your immense support. Thank you so much!!! With 15 days left of my campaign, I am elated to announce my second stretch goal.
If I hit 25k, one school is getting up to 30 @worldofzurirose books, enamel pins for every student and a customized common core curriculum (most suitable for grades 2-4).
You can nominate a US based school, pod or homeschool collective by commenting in the comment section of my Kickstarter campaign, with the name and location of the school.
Looking forward to your nominations!!

My sample book is here and because I’m grateful for your support, I will spare you from seeing the unboxing video of my ugly cry…😆
Besides a color adjustment to the linen spine, it lives up to my very high expectations and makes me even more excited to share the book with you.
If you follow me on Instagram (@makiniregal), check out my last reel of book photos beautifully captured by my friend, Paula Ortiz of Bufotos.
I have 16 days left of my campaign and I am soooo close to my stretch goal ($389 away, to be exact). Once I get to 20k, every backer, who pre-ordered a physical book, will receive a beautiful gift box with their order.
You can help me reach my goal by:
🌸Pre-ordering a book if you have not done so already
🌸Increase your pledge amount or add on an extra copy of the book to gift or donate. One of my backers, ordered books to donate to every library in her city. How amazing is that?!
🌸Sharing my campaign with a friend who you think would love the book
