Kyle James sent an update for Not Afraid of the Fall

Hello Not Afraid of the Fall team,

Now that the dust has settled from the stampede of last minute preorders that ultimately propelled us over the goal and into the land of full publishing... I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you once again.

Inkshares is unique. They take the time to find what I like to think of as "Diamonds in the rough". They give first time authors, like myself, an opportunity to prove that their book, their idea, their experience is worth the professional editing, marketing, creative direction and developing that Inkshares has to offer. They give people an opportunity to put in the time and effort required to convince people that this book is worth having on their bookshelf at home. None of this is guaranteed, it simply an opportunity.

This opportunity was very close to slipping away. 

As Ashley and I watched the clock tick away Saturday, with hundreds of preorders left to reach the goal, I thought it was over. I thought that there was no possible way to obtain the same amount of preorders in ONE DAY that we had in the last FOUR MONTHS COMBINED. 

Then you guys happened. 

We received an overwhelming amount of support from people like you. When numerous people reached out to tell us that they were tracking the preorder bar at home, at the bar, even at weddings... I could not believe how lucky Ashley and I are to have this support. 

Thank you. Thank you for not only preordering this book, but also sharing statuses, videos and the book itself to your friends and family. This is our accomplishment and I am excited to have you on the team as we continue this journey.

This is just the beginning and there is a lot of work to be done, but I am excited to see where this book will go.

I will keep you updated every step of the way on the progress of the editing, developing, marketing etc...

THANK YOU

Your inspired author,

Kyle James

    Kyle James liked the forum thread, Quill Author Marketing Guide
    Since launching Quill last fall we’ve had our first handful of marketing consultations with Quill authors. In those consultations we reviewed the fundamentals of building a book marketing strategy, plan, and executing against that plan.

    We thought it would helpful to create a guide that walks through those fundamentals and offers concrete examples. Our hope is that this guide will be helpful for any author, either self-published, Quill, Inkshares, traditionally published, or currently funding on Inkshares.

    Feel free to ask additional questions here, and enjoy!

          Uhhhhhhh guys.... I’ll be honest with you... I did NOT think this was going to happen...

          But it’s happening...We have passed 700 preorders with three hours to go...

          Less than 50 LEFT!!!! 

          IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO GET YOUR NAME IN THE BACK OF THE BOOKS...if you bought a copy just buy two more :)


          In all honesty, this has been an amazing 48 hours... my eyes are bloodshot and the blood in my veins has been taken over by caffeine...

          But this time I mean it...

          WE. CAN. DO. THIS.
