    Tony Valdez liked an update for Monkey Business

     

    There it is folks. An actual physical copy of Monkey Business sitting on my actual physical counter top. 261 copies are somewhere in the clutches of UPS right now on their way back to Inkshares HQ where those hard working folks will open them up and ship them to all of you who were good enough to back this project.

    I’m so happy and proud to be the first book published under the Quill Imprint of Inkshares, especially given the many and great looking books that are soon to follow. I don’t mean to overstate but it feels like an honor and I hope the book can live up.

    You should have all received your ebook files. Whether you intend to enjoy Monkey Business on your favorite eReading device or wait until actual paper is in your hands, I just hope you do enjoy it. I hope it makes you laugh. I hope it makes you glad you invested some of your hard earned dollars. If you do enjoy it you could do one more thing for me that is of vital importance. 

    Please leave a review on Amazon by clicking here!

    As many of my fellow authors have pointed out Amazon reviews are very important to gaining visibility and growing audience. And all that marketing stuff.

    So please, please, please take a moment to leave a review. Please enjoy the book. Thank you for all of your support and I’ll keep you posted as I’m hoping to do a few interviews, giveaways and other promotional stuff in the future.

    One last thing. I think the next Quill novel to be released is going to be Jason Pomerance’s Women Like Us. So please go check that book out. Jason is a hell of a nice guy and happens to be a pretty damn good writer!

    That’s all for now. I’ll write you guys more later and ask for more favors.

    - Landon

      Friends! What’s that you say? "Two updates in one day?! This is madness!" I know, I know. But this isn’t about me. This is about all the other authors on Inkshares and maybe even YOU! Have you been thinking about starting your own project on Inkshares? Now is a good time to get started, as an upcoming event may get your book some extra special attention...


      Get ready, because Draftshares is about to begin!

      When: May 30th - June 4th
      Readers: Check out as many drafts (projects currently in the Draft stage) as you can during the week of May 30th - June 3rd, and participate by opening and commenting on your favorite drafts’ excerpts.
      Why: To encourage community engagement...and, PRIZES!

      Prizes you say?: Yes! For every Draft (or synopsis*) you critique, you will be entered into a drawing for the following:

      Prizes for Anyone
      • Three sets of a copy of Asteroid Made of Dragons, button, and shirt
      • Church of Technology/Deus Hex Machina swag (pins and shirts)

      Drafters: Let us know if you’d like to receive a soft critique or a hard critique by messaging a member of the DLC cast or tweeting your project link @drinkshareslc with either the #critiquemekindly or #critiqueme hashtags. If you want your synopsis critiqued, include the hashtag #critiquemypage too.
      Soft Critiques (#critiquemekindly): This is the default critique if the author has not specifically requested a hard critique. The tone should be supportive and curious. Point out things you like, comment on the broader story ideas, and ask questions.
      Hard Critique (#critiqueme): Only give a hard critique if the author has specifically asked for one. This is where grammatical errors, typos, and oversights can be pointed out. It’s best to include elements of a soft critique too, but you can unleash your inner editor a bit more here.
      *Synopsis Critique (#critiquemypage): Interested Drafters should create a thread in the Inkshares forum (https://www.inkshares.com/forum_threads?topic=promo), linked to their book draft, titled “Synopsis Edits: [Book Title Goes Here].”Throughout the week, fellow authors will browse these threads and offer help with editing and improving your project page synopsis so you’re better prepared to switch over to funding with a fantastic, compelling, error-free introduction to your book!
      Not sure where to start? Check out these Drafts first!:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QP0JPCCsijyIFIa0YKk4ZdQjHJPFW3mqtVvyOpNO3x4/edit?usp=sharing

      Good Luck & Great Drafting!

        DAX FANS!

        I’ll make this quick. As always, apologies for my lengthy radio silence. Rest assured, I’m hard at work. I have received some amazing feedback from my test readers so far. The book definitely needs a little bit of work, but overall, the response is SUPER POSITIVE!

        I am ridiculously excited. First off, I’m overjoyed that people are liking this silly little book at all. Some of my favorite moments from the story have been met with equally giddy enthusiasm, and that blows me away! Also, I am incredibly grateful to have some honest feedback regarding the parts that could be improved. I am now on the path to make this story better than I thought possible.

        THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all again for your patience. I want you to have this book in your hands YESTERDAY, but I have a bit more work to do before that happens.

        TO THE WRITING CAVE! AWAAAY!

        Oh wait, one more thing! This is going to feel like bragging, but...


        An Inkshares Staff Pick?! When did that happen? Did I get the memo? In any case, that’s kinda awesome. I guess I better go make it worth the wait!

        -Tony :)
