Five copies of the finished book, signed by the author. The author will personally answer any questions of yours via an email, within reason. Your name will be included in a list of donors in the book. Pending your consent to a nondisclosure agreement, you will be given online access to the work in progress, and will be able to comment on it as it's being written. At a time of your choosing, from when the project is funded until six months after publication, you will be able to interview the author at length, over Skype. You will receive the first sheet of paper I received as an inmate. It was the only thing I had to write on for my first week of incarceration. As such, it's covered with writing, and is folded to fit in my sock. I had to write it with the nub of a pencil, that I sharpened with a piece of broken floor tile. This piece of paper is mentioned in the book. If nobody wants to pay $1000 for it, I don't blame you. The highest-paying backer will receive his or her choice of the $1000 rewards, the second-highest will receive second choice, and so on. Ties will be decided based on donation order. (Sooner is better)
