Remember the old Choose Your Own Adventure? Would you like to do one in real life? What if I told you we had some of the world’s best genre writers just waiting to pen an adventure in your city?
If you want to do a real life Adventure, written by world famous authors such as Isobelle Carmody or NY Times bestseller Sean Williams, then you MUST support this project!!
The above were taken by the artist who will be doing the covers of each adventure for this project. The photos are from a previous Choose Your Own Adventure project - Street Reads.

I’m Confused, What's This All About?
Who hasn’t read a story where they wished they could actually be inside it? See the landscape for yourself, see how the light falls, the air smells, the noise overwhelms you and see exactly how tall that building was that Spiderman just scaled. It’s not that we don’t trust the author, it’s just we want to BE there, not just read about it.
Just how could you do it? How could you take a story by an author you love, and actually live it? I’ve been obsessing over the idea for a while. I didn’t just want to move from place to place following the story of another character. I wanted to call the shots. I wanted the options. I wanted to choose my own adventure!
So what are we doing? We are creating a publishing company that pays world class writers to write a real life choose your own adventure (CYOA) style story in YOUR city.
Rather than reading the CYOA in printed book form, imagining every detail, we will be creating maps so you can read your story in the location the adventure is happening. You will get these maps as rewards for pledging to the project! Each map will have a series of QR codes that you can scan with your smart phone. Each code links you to a webpage where you can read the next part of the adventure and then choose from several options to continue the story. Each new part of the story takes place in one of the locations on the map, in the very place you’re standing, showcasing the landmarks of some of the world’s most awesome cities in a whole new way. Each story happens in a specific city.
Each story will show you the hidden nooks and secret features of a city, taking you on a journey you would never find in a guide book. At the same time you could be avoiding an alien invasion, solving a mystery, surviving a zombie apocalypse… hey, anything can happen on an adventure.
What Is A QR Code?
A Quick Response Code, commonly known as a QR code, is a barcode made of small black squares and rectangles arranged in a square pattern. QR codes can be read by QR readers or scanners that uses the camera on a smart phone or tablet device. You can download the scanner program for free from your Apple or Android App store. QR codes direct users to text, web content or other online information.
Which Authors Will Be Writing The First Adventures?

What Is Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding not like traditional fundraising, in crowdfunding you set a goal (in $$) and a time limit, if you don't get enough people to pledge in the allotted time, everyone keeps their money, and the project goes back to square one. If we make the funding goal, only then will our project go ahead, and then everyone who pledged gets some sort of reward for their wonderful help!
It's a win-win and you’ll be known forever more as the founding members of the project on our website and maps….
How Do The Maps Work?
Initially we will produce two versions, a PDF download and a physical map (with potential enhanced e-book editions to come with added funding).
Using the Print Map:
1.Make your way to the start location on the map.
2.Once at the start use the QR code App on your smart phone or tablet to scan the first code on the Map. Make sure you have access to internet data on your device.
3.Load the webpage and read your adventure!
4.Choose which path you want to follow from the choices provided, and find the next location on the map.
5.Make your way to the next location, Scan the next code in that branch…
6.Repeat until you reach the end. Will it end good or badly for you? You’ll have to find out!
7.Go back and try it again!
Using the Digital Map:
1.Download the map to your tablet/iPad. Make sure it has access to internet data.
2.Make your way to the start location on the map.
3.Once at the start, select the first hyperlinked code to begin your adventure.
4.Choose which path you want to follow and find the next location on the map.
5.Make your way to the next location, and select the appropriate hyperlinked code.
6.Repeat until the end!
Below is an example of the Maps we pulled together for our Adelaide Choose Your Own Adventure event. It’s pretty rough and ready, which is why this time around we want to hire a designer to make it pretty!
Who Are You?
My name is Emily Craven, I am the Digital Producer for if:book Australia (the Institute for the Future of the Book), the Queensland Writers Centre and the Australian Writers’ Marketplace. In 2012, I ran the world’s first physical choose your own adventure event in Adelaide, Australia, with the help of if:book Australia. Instead of Maps (which came later) we used posters with QR codes on them scattered around the city to run the adventure. In 2013, I was hired by the Brisbane City Council, to produce Street Reads, a Choose Your Own Adventure style event run in the Brisbane CBD. We are delivering that event during the Brisbane Writers Festival from the 4-15 September this year. For three years I have blogged about e-books, marketing and digital strategies for writers on my blog and have spoken on transmedia and e-books for the Australian Society of Authors, several National Writers’ Centres, the National Young Writers’ Festival and the World Fantasy Convention. I am an author of young adult fiction, with my latest comedy novel set in Facebook. In 2012 I completed a 12 month fantasy writing mentorship with Isobelle Carmody.
If you want to do a real life Adventure, written by world famous authors such as Isobelle Carmody or NY Times bestseller Sean Williams, then you MUST support this project!!

FAQ's
**What If The Author I Want To Read Wrote The Adventure In A Different City?**
Best part is, if you have a favourite author you can still read their thrilling adventure without being in the city. I know it will take me a while to save the pennies I need to read Mark Leslie’s awesome Twilight adventure actually in Toronto, but nothing is going to stop me from reading that story before hand!
If we can exceed our funding goal we hope to put some extra money toward creating enhanced e-book versions with photographs of the area, for all those people who can’t afford to travel just yet, but want to see the location!
**I’m A Member of Local Council/ A National Tourism Body – How Can I Get One Of Your Writers To Write An Adventure For Our City?**
We’d love to work with local governments to promote tourism in various cities around the world.
What you want is our $15,000 tier. Why so much? This will cover flights (to anywhere in the world), accommodation, food and payment for the author to spend a week in your city, and help us get the project up and running.
We ask that you have someone to show the author around the ‘special features’ of your city for the first 2-3 days to make sure we get your very best locations. Part of the perks of this tier is your organisation’s logo will be featured prominently on every copy of this map for as long as we sell it, as will a short blurb about your organisation on the description page for the story on the website and map.
Please email us first to see if the author you are interested in is willing and available to write an adventure. While suggestions for stories based on the history and legends of your cities are appreciated, ultimately it is up to the author what type of story/genre they write – I will not ask them to write to specific story guidelines, it stifles their creativity and lessens the impact of the adventure.
We look forward to working with you.

The Challenges
The challenges we face relate mainly to the on-time delivery of the maps and the hardcover book for rewards. Because I've run this event several times before (and also run a successful photography crowdfunding project before), I've got a really good handle on time-lines, budgets, and delivery.
The authors we have contracted for this project have very busy book schedules, most coming out with two - three books each year, while we will try to get all the authors to deliver the adventures by out deadline of February, we may not get the chance to get these maps out to you until April or May. We ask for your patience for this and shall repay you in quality stories! The hardcover book will be the last reward to come out, most likely late May as we have to finish all maps and stories and format and print the books. Again we ask for your patience!
