@Rhett Pennell Well, I can answer for @Joseph Asphahani and myself: Pretty much every waking moment was spent working on SOME facet of the contest. Everything from working on covers, updates, pouring over content, and actual selling.
If nothing else, the contest forces you to get everything in gear pretty fast and really polish up everything that ’surrounds’ the book. Pitch Lines, Synopsis, etc etc...
I’ll be honest, I’m sort of vicariously looking forward to watching the contest from afar this time while I sit back and read all the entries.
Hello, folks, glad to be among you...and thanks to a number of you for following me! I’m thrilled to get in on the ground floor of this latest Nerdist contest. I think I have an actual question: How much average time do people spend on their contest entries per day? (I’m supposed to be drawing Thomas the Tank Engine toys today and all I want to do is fiddle about here and figure out how to run a proper campaign for PIPERVERSE.)
Hi everybody! So, I’ve just spent the last six months explaining to people what I mean by "I’m writing a space opera," and yesterday somebody shows me this contest. I am so in. Great to meet everybody! I look forward to reading/writing with you all.
@Christopher Leone Don’t worry about @Andrew J. Ainsworth insanely cute dog taking first. Do it anyway! Just add explosions in the background and walk away without looking back.
Good luck everyone in this round of contests! The last one was a bloodbath, so I’ve got my popcorn ready to watch this one unfold.
@Matt Kaye Thanks for the opportunity to get all of our heads together for the future winners.
One more thing, @JF Dubeau and I have been doing a podcast about crowdfunded publishing - heavily Inkshares influenced - where we talk about our experiences from our contest and the Inkshares publishing process. Check it out for more tips!
Hi everyone! Like a lot of folks, this is my first time doing this kind of thing.
Right now, my brain’s still kind of spinning from everything, but I just wanted to stop in and say good luck to the rest of the participants, and give thanks to the veteran players for their advice.
Locked in a cell, no way of escape, a man is held. But how or why he got there he can’t remember, and his captor is the only person with any answers. What is more important: The truth, or freedom?
