Hello.

I’m Sara McHenry, a crowdfunding & fulfillment professional in Chicago, IL. 

Since 2013, I’ve helped my clients raise over $3.5 million in crowdfunding money for their creative projects. My specialties include setting budgets and timelines, structuring reward tiers, working with vendors, shipping logistics, and motivating the unmotivated creator. 

I also run stores for artists including podcasts, cartoonists, and game designers. Want to sell your work but hate mailing things? Don’t know how to monetize your art? I can help!

I’d love to work with you on your Kickstarter, Patreon, or store. Email me and let’s talk! 


 

What My Clients Have to Say

 

"Sara is the most organized person I know. I had a great time working with her, she always had helpful answers to my questions and tons of info on where and how to get basically anything made. My project went smoothly thanks in no small part to her wealth of knowledge and experience. I would work with her again in a heartbeat."

— Jess Fink, Chester 5000 and We Can Fix It 

 

"Sara is whip-smart, detail-oriented, and highly dependable. I’ve worked with her extensively in the past and at this point I’d trust her with anything. EVEN MY DOG."

— Jeph Jacques, Questionable Content and Deathmole 

"Sara not only understands how to make things, she understands how to organize and budget and categorize and plan all the things that go into the making of things. All of that is ultimately quite necessary for making things, but can be hard to stay on top of when you're also trying to make things. In other words, Sara understands how the making of things is made. Which makes her not merely a thingsmith, but a thingsmithsmith. That's frankly even harder to be than it is to read or say—so, good news, you've found Sara, and she's very good at it."

— David Malki !, Wondermark and Machine of Death

 
 

“Sara McHenry is one of the most talented, driven, and professional people I have had the privilege to know. To work with her is to simply let go of stress as you know you are in the best possible hands. Her expertise and skill is simply nuts. You will go nuts (good version) if you work with Sara.”

—Tom Harrison, Anime Sickos Podcast

 

“In simplest terms, Sara makes my business look good. Shipping large quantities of books is downright terrifying to me, but with Sara’s assistance my pre-order campaigns and retailer orders have been fulfilled swiftly and smoothly. (Seriously, one retailer I work with said they were ‘gobsmacked at the efficiency.’ I empathize.) She’s also friendly and free with advice when solicited, not just on fulfillment but on creative workflows and setting up an online shop. Seriously: I’m never letting her go.”

Ken Lowery, ENNIE Award-winning TTRPG designer of VOID 1680 AM and Lighthouse at the End of the World

“Sara McHenry is organized to the point where on paper I should be actively terrified of her but working with her is a dream! My first ever Kickstarter should be have been an intensely stressful experience but with her on the case it went as smooth as anything possibly could have. In the unlikely scenario she doesn't have an answer, she knows exactly how to find it.”
