As a filmmaker and screenwriter, I've devoted most of my last three years writing a history book on the American Revolution, entitled , which I hope to bring to the screen someday in the form of a miniseries (think John Adams meets Band of Brothers). The book is completed, and I now have a literary agent, but I still need a publisher. Publishers are risk adverse, and want to see a sure thing. As I am an unknown, they fear I have no "platform", and thus I need to build my own audience. Help me build that audience! I need your support! With your help, we can bring 1775 to print, and eventually to the screen!
