Hello Lovely Readers!! First, I just wanted to let you know that I updated my description page. I used some wonderful advice from John Robin in a thread on Goodread and hope that it is simplified and more useful. All critiques are welcome!!
Secondly, the preorders have definitely hit a lull, so I am thinking about just going for the Quill "light" option in order to move forward with production- what do you guys think? I'm a bit below halfway to the full option, and would love to make it, but am wondering what to do. If anyone wants to discuss/offer advice or criticisms, you can reach me at jliggan@gmail.com. I really appreciate all you have done so far and want to close by telling you that...I am so excited to participate in the inaugural Inkshares Review-a-Thon!
If you haven't heard about it yet, I am pasting the information about it from A.C. Weston below. Please share, spread the word and join in!
On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option.
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 more!
Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of theWriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!
Prizes?!?!
Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:
Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits!
Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email me at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.
(And authors, if you're in, please copy the message above and include it in your next update!)
It's gonna be fun.
Tuesday, December 1, is World AIDS Day. To commemorate the day, we're making public a video about "Nowhere Else I Want to Be."
I wanted you, my Readers and early supporters, to see it first:
Click here to see the video on my Inkshares page.
And if you'd like to commemorate World AIDS Day in the same way, please feel free to post the link on facebook, twitter, or by email.
As always, thank you,
Carol
ps We now have 642 of the 750 pre-orders needed! Keep an eye out for our special January promotion, coming on December 31.
Hello Everyone! I apologize for the long delay...as with many others here, life has been taking its toll. But! The writing goes on! Talkers has made it to over 300 preorders and can be published through the "light" option with Quill, but I am still hoping to press on and reach 750( and everything that comes with it). If you haven't checked it out yet, please do, and to everyone who has already preordered--thank you, thank you.
Also, I want to let you know that the verterbrae bone went to a lovely young lady in Virginia (who asked to remain anonymous...she knows how alluring owning a bone can be...) and I hope it is happy in its new home.
Lastly, I have saved tons of credits and will always preorder back (even when I don't have them). If anyone wants to swap preorders, or just get some support, pitch me or preorder! I check my emails, updates and alerts every day. Love to you all and thanks for supporting Talkers!
Best,
Janna
News from Inkshares:
There is now an e-book purchase option at $10.00.
This purchase does count toward the final goal of 750 pre-orders.
We have 628 pre-orders, leaving only 122 more until Inkshares will begin the publishing process.
Thank you, as always for your support and encouragement thus far.
Carol
