Seth Swanson's latest update for Impervious: Book 1 of the Iron Principles

Feb 16, 2016

Testing...Testing... Ahem.

I know that I’ve been pretty quiet here, mostly just sneaking around Inkshares, finding interesting books and interesting people to stal... I mean, follow.  I wanted to get a feel for the platform, see what other successful authors are doing and get prepared before I launched the campaign for Impervious.  From what I’ve seen, so far, successful authors put a lot of work into their campaigns: regular updates, bonus snippets, videos, lots of social media effort and constantly staying in contact with their followers, keeping them excited for the project.  

Better, I thought, to watch and learn before I jumped into the deep end and tried to swim.  My goal, is to get involved in the next big contest that comes up for Fantasy novels, since Nerdist is going to be running one soon.  It’ll make for some good exposure, plus it’ll be exciting to compete against some of the other great talent on Inkshares.  I will be starting my campaign pretty soon, just so I can get a head start on getting some sales before the contest begins, but there’s a few things I want to get in order: Gotta spice up my blog, prepare some bonus content, clean up and post a few more chapters and so on and so forth.

You will be hearing more from me, and more about Impervious in the coming weeks. My period of learning is over, now it’s time for me to get busy! Thanks everyone for following and spreading the word. I’m excited to make Impervious an actual real book. And now, I must get back to work. Away!
