Hi Porsha,

Thanks so much for doing this class. I'd love your feedback, especially because you are quite literally the target group of my press release. 

Also, given I want to launch the Kickstarter project on the 4th of January, when would you send out the press release? The campaign will be online all of January. 

Thank you so much,

Monika
