Literally Estonian Kickstarter project

Help support Estonian culture with 132 pages of humor, wordplay and customs through the Literally Estonian Kickstarter campaign.

Hello!

My name is Karel Polt and I am the author of the book Literally Estonian. It is a humorous book introducing the Estonian language and culture to an English-speaking audience, the main part of which are language games and fun illustrations. The illustrator is the wonderfully talented Kristina Tort.

A week ago, I launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to cover the printing costs of the book. You can find more about the campaign here:

I am reaching out to you because I believe you might be interested in this book, or you know someone who might. The campaign has been quite successful. Kickstarter recognized it as Project We Love and within a week we have reached 80% of our goal.

After a successful campaign, the book will be printed in Estonia, and when everything is ready, we will send it to supporters around the world.

It’s been a wonderful journey, creating this book, and my hope is that it will bring you as much joy as it did to me!

With greetings,

Karel Polt

Tervist!

Minu nimi on Karel Polt ning ma olen raamatu Literally Estonian autor. Tegemist on eesti keelt ja kultuuri ingliskeelsele auditooriumile tutvustava humoorika raamatuga, mille kandev osa on keelemängud ja lõbusad illustratsioonid. Illustraatoriks on imepäraselt andekas Kristina Tort.

Nädala eest läks käima kampaania Kickstarteris, et koguda toetust raamatu trüki kulude katmiseks. Kampaaniaga saate tutvuda siin:

Ma pöördun teie poole, sest usun, et see raamat võib teile huvi pakkuda, või teate kedagi, kellele see meeldida võiks. Kampaania on olnud päris edukas. Kickstarter tunnustus seda kui Project We Love ning nädalaga oleme saavutanud 80% oma eesmärgist.

Pärast edukat kampaaniat läheb raamat Eestis trükki ning kui kõik valmis, saadame selle toetajatele üle maailma.

Selle raamatu loomine on olnud üks imeline teekond ja ma loodan, et see toob teile sama palju rõõmu kui mulle!

Tervitades,

Karel Polt
