Schoolgirl releases debut novel after smashing fundraising goal


A schoolgirl has seen her dream of becoming an author realised after having her debut novel published after a successful fundraising campaign. Kirsten Mbawa, a Year 7 pupil from Northampton High School in


Hardingstone, started the campaign early in 2020 along with her sister Aiyven, with the goal of raising enough money to cover the publishing costs of their newly-penned books. In order for their novels Sagas of Anya and Land of the Nurogons


to be published, the young students needed to raise a minimum of £5,000, and hoped to reach the landmark by mid-March in order to meet their deadline. T e KickStarter campaign proved to be a smash hit and gained a lot of


viral attention, with their fundraising page even featuring on the Projects We Love section of the website, being viewed by thousands worldwide. T e girls invited pledges to support their project and off ered a number of incentives as thanks for their donations, including signed copies of the published books, exclusive memorabilia and more; and, with time to spare, the campaign exceeded expectations raising over £5,500. Kirsten and Aiyven were inspired to write their fi rst books after


competing in the BBC Radio 500 Words competition and have now seen their hard work and passion brought to life and immortalised in
