Publishing a book through crowdfunding 💪Elena Favilli, Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls

An interview hosted by Bailey and Maggie with Elena Favilli, the founder and CCO of Rebel Girls, a media company dedicated to inspiring the next generation of brave and confident girls.

Elena Favilli’s book, Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, pushed the boundaries of traditional publication with 60 collaborators from around the world and $1.2 million in crowdfunding backing the project, making the book the most crowdfunded campaign in literary history.

The book is bigger than itself, blossoming into a media company that tells contemporary and historical stories of women doing extraordinary work in the world. We’ll talk with Elena about testing ideas with her audience at scale, curating stories that inspire change, and launching a Kickstarter campaign to build community, not just raise funds.
