Studio Kiin: Collective Literary works

WOW. Together, we raised $5000 in 24hours. We are so grateful to each and every one of you and every single conversation, repost, comment, tag, DM and donation. People are power, and over the last 30 days you have all shown up for us and for Indigenous Pacific stories. You said - "We trust these storytellers and we believe in them" and we don't take that for granted. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

We now have a stretch goal which will help us cover Boosted's 10% platform fee. To be transparent - as this is an all-or-nothing platform, and our first time crowdfunding, we wanted to make sure we had secured our target of $5,000 first (instead of integrating the platform fee into our target) because we didn't want to risk falling short of our target and then lose all your wonderful donations.

If you donated but didn't leave your name or email - please email us at info@studiokiin.co. We would love to send you a personal thank you, and acknowledge your contributions.

This is just the beginning!

Loloma levu yani,
