Happy 2017, folks!


It’s taken me awhile to shake the holiday blues (read: hangover). But now that I’ve gotten all the flu, food, and family one could ever hope for out of my system, I’m rediscovering cogency and am embracing the internet again.


First order of the new year: Say Hello to @Amanda Orneck, Inkshares author of Deus Hex Machina, here to share with us some key insights into crowdfunding, participating in contests, and being an Inkshares author. BAM!

https://youtu.be/p6uGC9DDeAU


What I enjoyed most about my conversation with Amanda, aside from her killer sense of humour, is how frank she is. She states exactly what an author needs to do, and exactly what an author needs to ask for from their network to get the job done.

Thank you, Amanda. Like @Janna Grace, @Jane-Holly Meissner, and @Alastair Luft, you’re an inspiration to me.


On the topic of inspiration, other talented and successful authors we’ll be hearing from include @Evan Graham, @Jason Pomerance, @Ferd Crôtte, & @Rick Heinz. If you have questions you’d like these authors to answer, please don’t hesitate to reach out/speak up.

    "A lot of people when they try this they kind of assume parts of it will take care of themselves. They don’t. You have to pretty much count on manually finding all 250 or 750 pre-orders, yourself, individually. And you have to work for every single one of them.”

    Them be wise words, shared by author of Tantalus Depths, @Evan Graham. Evan managed to overcome a number of setbacks throughout his crowdfunding period, including the credit system debacle (before my time, but Evan does a good job of summarizing what went wrong ~3:00 minutes in). 

    Evan’s determination is inspirational and humbling. I continue to be blown away by how tough as nails this community is, and by how willing everyone is to share what are some of our most vulnerable moments. 

    Thank you for taking the time, Evan!

    Stay tuned to hear from @Ferd Crôtte  and @Jason Pomerance  who have stuck with this project despite a lion’s share of technical difficulties, and finally @Rick Heinz (PS - I will be in touch this week!)

    Happy it’s-almost-the-end-of-the-polar-vortex-season,

    Donna

      As do so many things in science, it reached rudely beyond science into matters of personality and perspective. Was it better to know? That was the question facing young Emerson.
