Hey friends,

Today is the first Inkshares Review-a-Thon! The heck is that you ask? It’s a day where Inkshares and we authors encourage everyone to leave reviews of books funding on Inkshares! How do we do that you may ask? Well, by giving away stuff obviously.

So what do you have to do to participate? Simply go to Inkshares and browse books that are currently funding and leave reviews. You’ll be entered into a draw for cool prizes! It’s that simple!

Prizes? Prizes!:

  • Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest for one winner!
  • Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest for one winner!
  • An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!
  • $30 in Inkshares credits for five winners!
  • Leave a review of either The Life Engineered or A God in the Shed and you stand a chance to win a set of signed prints that I made for The Life Engineered mailed right to your door.

But wait, there’s more! Starting at 6pm EST, Ageless author Paul Inman and I will be hanging out on YouTube interviewing people from Inkshares, talking to authors and needing out about books.

I really should have posted more about this but it’s been a busy week.

Wait… are you still here? Go review some books!

    Sound. A voice above the white background noise. It came from nowhere and everywhere at once. No… it was coming from me. The sound was different, and I didn’t choose the words, but the voice emanated from me. I was talking to myself with a voice that wasn’t mine. “You’re not talking to yourself. Do you know your name?” Shit! It can read my thoughts!

      Dear Blood Dawn backers,

      Since many of you are also writers, I wanted to send this out today to highlight the author-exclusive prizes we have for the inaugural review-a-thon tomorrow. (Readers, be sure to join us too -- there are great prizes for you as well, as you'll see below!)

      That's right, the big day is TOMORROW,  December 19th!

      All authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option. I'll be on Twitter recommending books to review under the hashtag #InksharesReviews (@johnrobinrt)

      There will be great prizes for everyone, but if you are an author, here are some of the great reasons to participate:

      1. WIN A FREE COPY OF SCRIVENER for Mac and PC

      Scrivener is a great program that gives writers an edge over Word. Authors who join the review exchange will have a chance to win a copy of Scrivener - we’re giving away one copy for Mac and one for PC!

      Everyone who participates will get 20% off of the purchase of Scrivener, whether they win or not.

      Want to know more about Scrivener? Here’s a video I made where I talk about the pros and cons of Scrivener (and why getting your hands on Scrivener will change how you write for the better):

      2. WIN A FREE MONTH OF AUTHOR ACCELERATOR!

      Want to write a solid first draft that’s equivalent to a fifth or sixth? The Author Accelerator program combines weekly pro editorial input with your drafting process to let you go from draft idea to rough draft successfully, and we’re giving away one FREE MONTH (valued at $199) of the program to one lucky author.

      Find out more about the Author Accelerator program in this interview I did with the founder of the Author Accelerator program, Jennie Nash, to see how it has given me a true edge and how the Author Accelerator program works for writers who enter it:

      AND OF COURSE, there are other GREAT prizes available for all:

      • Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest!
      • Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest!
      • An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!
      • $30 in Inkshares credits!

      All you have to do for a chance to win is LEAVE A REVIEW to enter the draw for these prizes. Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and much, much more!

      Also, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul ‘such a nerd’ Inman will be hosting a Google+ Hangout livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners! I will be there making a brief appearance, along with other authors like Gary Whitta, Rick Heinz, and Jeyna Grace, so come join us for the fun!

      Email AC Weston at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and join the review exchange.

      Hope to see you all there!

      (And please share this with as many people as possible.)
