James Rasile liked an update for Project Human

So I added some new information to the Project Human page. Y’all should go check it out.

.

.

Psst, there’s a tentative funding start date!

.

.

Also, I’m going for the win with Project Human. It deserves nothing less than all the publishing perks Inkshares has to offer it . . . including hardcover. Yes, it will be published in hardcover. If that means the majority of the funding orders are e-books until the mainstream hardcover price is set (probably under the current funding price of $30) then so be it. But I won’t budge on hardcover, even if it takes a year and a half to fund.

I am already planning goodies and raffles and cool stuff for supporters. I want to spill ALL THE PLANS, but I shall let you wonder instead. I can say there will be T-shirts and artwork involved. Maybe a robot, too.

We’ll see.

And so, back to working on that first chapter I promised I’d share at 100 followers. 400 more followers and I’ll start to feel good about this reaching full publication whenever funding starts, because each one of you IS going to order . . . right?

So go. Recommend the heck out of this draft. Please.

Anyway. If you haven’t already heard the buzz, my currently-funding project Scribbles has just 2 days and 23 orders to go. You’d be able to read it before Project Human, so I recommend grabbing a copy while you still can get a free book with it, too.

    American Art Killers
    A crew of artists on a generation-defining journey to self-discovery becomes entangled in a web of doubt, deception, and a desperate desire to demystify the power of art, love and madness.

      Hi Suaine!
      You’ve got a good start to your project page. I have some suggestions, though everyone has their own style, of course...

      I followed the link to your visuals for your characters (Derek Hale!! Grumpy cuddle monster of my heart!!) and I think you should put those images on your project page! The cover you have at the link might even be better than the one you have up on Inkshares, since people connect better to faces. Faces are good to have on your book cover.

      You should add any links you might have to blogs (that you want to associate with your campaign), twitter, facebook, pinterest, etc etc.

      I’d mention the main characters by the names you call them throughout the book in your synopsis - do you call them Captain Pierce and Commander Pham, or Meg and Jasmine? The former sounds more distancing, and you want people to connect with them as quickly as possible.

      Other than that, the only thing I tend to recommend is coming up with some comparisons to help people understand your book more easily - "If you liked ___________ and _____________, you’ll love my book!"

      "A cross between ___________ and ____________, etc."

      "If you loved ________________ but wanted more ___________, you’ll love my book!"

      :) :) :)

        James Rasile liked a review for Jump the Gun
        In just one short chapter, the author has given us a strong sense of the world and the characters within it. Peppering in updated expressions the reader is no doubt familiar with, blends the narrative voice with that of the characters so that the reader is drawn into the world while empathizing with the protagonist. There is also a healthy amount of mystery to keep the pages turning. I look forward to more.
