So there is a new contest up at Inkshares, The Launch Pad 2017 Contest. It has started already and it goes until late June. The great hing about this contest is that isn’t just decided by pre-orders, it is decided by a quality/appeal too. This is great because I am not very good at marketing. Also the publicity associated with contests help bring in potential readers and orders hopefully. 

I would like to enter the contest, but to do so it appears I have to cancel everyone’s orders and start over again as a draft. I don’t want to upset anyone who was looking forward to the book. In all honesty I was considering self publishing The Dead Wizard and opening another Inkshares campaign for the second book, with discounted copies of The Dead Wizard as incentives to pre-order. That way you could read the first book while you waited for the second. I thought it was a good plan. But if I make the cut then hell, it’d have better grammar and a better cover.

So I am asking you all - Would you be willing to wait a few months longer for chance at a better quality book, and potential prize winner? If not then I can enter my story about an alien hunting vending machine in the contest, but I’d rather try it with The Dead Wizard.  What say you?
