Inkshares partnered up with Launchpad for this, so of course you can launch a campaign. but i think @Matt Kaye will be able to answer you the official stand...

    Robert Batten liked an update for Lucky
    Followers, Readers, Supporters...lend me your eyeballs. I come not to bury Caesar, but to praise his salad.

    No, but for real, y’all - I’m back and I’m catching up and ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE your continued support for Lucky means so much. Lucky has 34 days left to fund on Inkshares and is 400+ copies short of our goal. This is the time for us to all band together and get the word out about this new book hitting the shelves. Look at it this way: The faster we finish funding, the faster this book will get to the printers and end up in your hands.

    If you have any questions, any hesitations about pre-ordering, please contact me and allow me to address your concerns. I want you to feel as much at home with supporting a campaign like this that you can.

    One million thanks to all of you!

      Robert Batten liked an update for Sunshine is Forever

      Hey Campers!

      I just posted Chapter 7, and now you can listen to me read Chapter 1!
      Head here, if you want to hear me read to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCeu_He-fho

      Right now we are at 157 preorders, WHICH IS AWESOME! Thank you! I was honestly worried I wouldn’t sell any books.

      I NEED YOUR HELP!
      Please help me by getting your friends to preorder the book too! If we can get this thing to 250 or even 750 preorders, I will be able to reach a lot of people.

      I CAN’T DO THIS ON MY OWN! 

      Anyway, enough the CAPS, you get it. I need your help. 

      I appreciate all of you so much. The fact that you took the time to preorder my book, and that you want to read something I wrote means so much to me! 

      Please help me extend my reach even further. Personalized messages to people you think might be interested in this type of story work best.

      Thanks again! Enjoy chapter 7!

        Robert Batten liked an update for The Living God

        Thank you for following The Living God. It really means a lot to me and I hope you enjoy the read. I’ll be sure to take a gander at your work over the next few days and return the favor! Life is going to be a bit hectic because of a seven-day business trip coming up, so that process might be slower than I’d like.

        I’m also working on a cover! I’ve been a cover artist for five years now, and I’ve made covers for my own little NaNoWriMo projects, but I’ve never been more stressed or vacuous than I have with this particular one. It is more complicated, given that I chose to illustrate the cover instead of using photo-manipulations. However, it is starting to come together!

        As for the novel, it is mostly finished and in the final stages of editing and revision, which is why I’m beginning to post it on InkShares for others to offer insights or to enjoy. It has been my passion project for a very long time now. I’ve bounced around with other ideas, I’ve written probably six first drafts of other manuscripts of all different genres, but I’ve always come back to this one. Something about it won’t let go of me, or I won’t let go of it. I’m not sure which is the case. For whatever reason, I’m glad I didn’t. 

        Again, thank you for following The Living God. I hope that you enjoy it!

          I hope that’s not an issue. You could always just start your campaign right before the top 25 are announced. They’ll probably give us a specific date and people can just schedule around that.

            Robert Batten created a forum thread: Launchpad manuscript competition
            I was just checking the rules for the new competition (the Launchpad Manuscript competition). It includes an exclusivity clause for those who make the top 25, where you can’t submit to anyone else for 90 days - but it looks like the wording means you can be running an Inkshares funding campaign during this period (text below). Is that how everyone else interprets this?

            All submissions will remain the property of the writer(s) throughout the contest, however if selected as a Top 25 entry you agree to grant Launch Pad and partners an exclusive 90-day window (from announcement) to all film, television and publishing rights. During this period of time you agree to not submit your book or manuscript to a literary agent, TV or film, agent, manager, or publisher other than Inkshares, without express written consent by Launch Pad. The exception to this is if you are already represented, in which case we look forward to collaborating with your representatives

            Competition rules are here.

            Robert Batten liked an update for Mission 51

            9 days left in the funding campaign, and 83 pre-orders to go to reach the Quill publication goal. It seems daunting, but not impossible!

            Can you help get Mission 51 published? If you haven’t gotten your pre-order(s), there is no time to hesitate! Please, get one (or more) now! Why not be on the short-list of Super Readers!?  :-)

            If you are an author with an active project, get mine and I’ll get yours!

            Remember, if I reach Quill, I will match the amount of money that people have invested in me and Mission 51 with a donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charities and their mission to help families with sick children.

            Mission 51 is ready to launch. All it needs is YOU!

            Thank you for your support! :D
