BBC Radio Interview on Scoresby Book and Crowdfunding Push

Posted on November 30, 2016 by Kat Long

This morning I had the honor of chatting with presenter Mike Hill on BBC Tees Radio, covering Whitby and northeast England, about my current crowdfunding campaign for a trip to England and a new biography of William Scoresby. I’m excited to share the story of one of the northeast’s famous sons with listeners in the region! I’ll post the link to the radio interview after it airs.

In the meantime, please support my crowdfunding effort and send me to England for book research! Click here for my Indiegogo campaign.

Help Send Me to England for Book Research: Crowdfunding Alert

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Kat Long

I’m working on a book about my ancestor: a polar explorer and whaling ship captain named William Scoresby whose 200-year-old discoveries are helping today’s scientists understand global warming. I’m raising money for a trip to England to research his letters, and–because environmental progress is in jeopardy these days–write a book that offers valuable insight into climate change, wrapped up in adventure. I’d be so grateful if you checked out my Indiegogo campaign, watched my short video, and spread the word! Thanks!
