Matthew Poat created a forum thread: Please Use BCC When Mass Emailing!!!
There has recently been a raft of people sending mass emails without blind copying everyone. This is very insensitive to everyone and causes me concern.

Please note that if you send me a mass email without using BCC I can gaurantee that I will not be pre-ordering your book.

Sorry but I gotta take a hardline on this!

Matthew Poat liked the forum thread, Geek & Sundry Contest - New Rule
Dear All,

I know that many previous authors are considering entering the new Geek & Sundry Contest.  

First, I’m very excited that G&S is meaningful to you as a Collection—and don’t worry, this won’t be their last contest on the platform.

But second, I want to make clear that we view contests at Inkshares as a broad opportunity for current and new authors alike. The trick is balancing out "fresh blood" with established members of the community. It would be unfortunate if an "established few" dominated contests over and over. This also carries the problem of people continually running campaigns rather than focusing on their in-progress funded books.

Accordingly, we’re implementing the following rule:

If you’ve been published via a contest (either selected or finished in the qualifying top spots) then you cannot enter another contest until your book is published.

Best,
Angela Melamud
Community/Marketing Manager

    Matthew Poat liked an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

                            I’m just going to open with the final cover for The Seventh Age:


    I want to thank all of you, the people who have supported me, in helping pick directions, refine options and taking the time to vote. 

    Ashley Marie Witter, the Illustrator, who crammed me into her intensely busy schedule of Squarriors. You can check out more of her artwork and rabid apocalyptic rodents by clicking HERE.

    Scott over at Cyantype Covers. They did a fantastic job making different options and helping pull everything together for the final version you see today. My finest metal (\m/ >;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;. salute goes to the work that they have done. 

    Lastly, to Emily, Avalon, and everyone at the joint Girl Friday / Inkshares production team for helping take the very nebulous concept of a cover into something this badass. 

    My sincerest thank you to everyone involved,


    ~Rick Heinz.

      Matthew Poat sent an update for Squids In

      Hendrix is still doing his bit to raise awareness for SQUIDS IN. Not only did he hang out in Times Square at stupid o’clock in the morning the other day, he managed to get a few of his minions a free ride on some Porsche Carrera Cup racing cars.


      It’s becoming very apparent that Hendrix and I will not manage our target of 250 pre-orders alone. If you know anyone who has a rude sense of humor, please point them to the sample SQUIDS IN chapters. Thanks!

      Matthew
