From the recent AHCJ conference, Joseph Burns reports on a crowdfunding success story from freelance writer Heather Boerner, who netted $3,600 in a campaign to raise money for her book on anti-HIV medications: "The original $100 assignment for a well-known website and an unspecified number of words had been such a joy for Boerner to report and write that the finished project totaled 9,000 words. When her editor wanted 2,000 words cut, Boerner sought other funding."
