Dear Alethea,
Thanks for joining.
If you would like to actively promote your book project here, I recommend describing the plan briefly here, in our " Projects forum ", and also in your personal blog inside the network (see your profile page).
Other suitable places to post a note could be our:
archaeology group (not uncoincidentally, it is called "Archaeology Unearthed"
and
Research Co-op Australia
Generally speaking, not many authors have tried to crowd-source funds for publishing. At a certain point, it might become not "self-publishing" but rather more something like "community publishing".
The old model of personal patronage for authors and artists can now expand to larger groups of people with shared interests and less wealth per capita.
It will be interesting to see how well crowdsourcing works for writing and publishing, over time.
The educational film "Truck Garden" is a nice example of it working for young film maker.
