Hello Lovely Readers!! First, I just wanted to let you know that I updated my description page. I used some wonderful advice from John Robin in a thread on Goodread and hope that it is simplified and more useful. All critiques are welcome!! 

Secondly, the preorders have definitely hit a lull, so I am thinking about just going for the Quill "light" option in order to move forward with production- what do you guys think? I'm a bit below halfway to the full option, and would love to make it, but am wondering what to do. If anyone wants to discuss/offer advice or criticisms, you can reach me at jliggan@gmail.com. I really appreciate all you have done so far and want to close by telling you that...I am so excited to participate in the inaugural Inkshares Review-a-Thon! 

If you haven't heard about it yet, I am pasting the information about it from A.C. Weston below. Please share, spread the word and join in! 

On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option.

Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the#InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more!

Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of theWriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!

Prizes?!?!

Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:

• Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest!

• Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest!

• An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!

• $30 in Inkshares credits!

Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits!

Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email me at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.

(And authors, if you're in, please copy the message above and include it in your next update!)

It's gonna be fun.
