My last name is Heinz and I’m #57. I think the programmers behind this did their job exactly right.

    Very cool new feature @Thad Woodman! I’m wondering what metrics are tracked for rankings. Care to shed any light on your Inkshares algorithmic machinations? :)  

    For those wondering WTF I’m talking about, if you click someone’s profile (like this one) you will see a little orange  box stating their influential reader rank. (I am #22 Most Influential Reader) pretty interesting!

    I’ll be curious as to how this impacts the Inkshares site AND am wondering what other new features Thad has in store for us!

      Hi Daniel, pre publication u can choose to options: paperback which makes the book 20$ and the eBook 10$ or a hardback that is 30$ and then the eBook is 15$.
       As Christine said, special photo books and other glossy pages production will be more expensive, and then the ebook price will rise to half of the hard cover accordingly (see Patrick’s Bike Lane From around the World priced at 50$ and 25$ for the eBook).

      As for price post production, there are many discounts, and i think an eBook goes down to around 5-6$ in order to compete with market prices. there are also promotions occasionally.

      But @Matt Kaye can answer this better than anyone i guess.

        C. Brennecke liked an update for An Unattractive Vampire

        Greetings Everyone,

        Long time no update. And there has been news. Oh how there has been news. But also, there has been school and so I’ve been hunkered down with tales of prophecy and murder while contacting scientists who monitor space debris and...well, that’s all done now. School is out, so instead of all that writing, I can spend my time doing...other writing. But like I said, first...news.

        I write audio drama/radio plays. (I might have mentioned it.) So naturally one of the first questions I was asked (via the Our Fair City Tumblr page) was whether or not there would be an audio book version of An Unattractive Vampire. Honestly, I hadn’t given it much thought, being too preoccupied with "Oh my gosh, I have a real, physical book out." But Inkshares thought about it. They thought about it a lot.

          

        I am incredibly pleased to announce that an An Unattractive Vampire audio book is currently in production at Audible. Oh...you know Audible, the leading provider of audio books. They only sponsor about every podcast ever. (Hence why I know they’re intro pitch.) I am very lucky that they have picked up the audio rights to my book and will keep you all posted on this story as it progresses.

        Also, I am pleased to report that we are just four reviews shy of hitting our first magic number (50) on Amazon. What does this mean? It means An Unattractive Vampire will show up more in Amazon searches. Which means more eyes. Which means more purchases. Which means money, which means time, which equals writing. (Because that’s how math works. So, please...go to Amazon and review An Unattractive Vampire. I’ll wait.

        Other, other news:
        A few more positive reviews went up on HorrorTalk.com and Fanbase Press. You can check them out here. Or you know, send them to friends. 

        Did I mention that I write audio drama? Well I do and my first episode of Our Fair City Season 7 went out last week. After last seasons cataclysm learn the (tragic?) fate of our lovable molepeople in "A Molepup Misadventure."

        So about this audio drama thing. (Pretty sure I mentioned it.) This last weekend was also the HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City, MO, celebrating audio drama and my MAT contest winning piece "Last Transmission" was an official selection for the podcast showcase. (In case you missed it before, you can listen to it at the Midnight Audio Theatre website.)

        At the end of June (beginning of July) I will be in Minneapolis for CONvergence. I’ll be doing a couple panels. plastering the convention with postcards and posters, and making my second attempt ever at playing D&D. So if any of you are up in the Great White North, come say hi and watch me flounder around as I try and not judge myself for not being Critical Role. 

        That’s all for now.
