Big news from Catalyst HQ! We’ve launched our second Kickstarter campaign to help us with distribution and promotion of our graphic novel King Shaka: Zulu Legend. King Shaka, the second release under our Story Press Africa imprint picks up after the events of Shaka Rising. Shaka is now King of the southern chiefdoms, but he can’t rest easy. His rule is threatened both by the increasing European presence in southern Africa, and by his brothers who are conspiring against him. Throughout it all, King Shaka must continue to forge alliances, expand the reach of his power, and uplift his people.
We’ve launched the Kickstarter to help us with production and distribution, but we’re also planning to launch a buy-one-give-one initiative, which will help us get books to readers who need them most. We’ve started this program through a partnership with South African literacy organization— READ Educational Trust —and want to add more partner organization in Africa and North America. If you choose the buy-one-give-one reward on our Kickstarter campaign, you’ll be a big part of helping us get this program running (and stay tuned for updates here on the Catalyst site that will enable a buy-one-give-one option on our sales page).
Check out this video from our campaign, and head over to Kickstarter to support us!
