In the megacity Urb, Avrahim’s life is good. He has a prestigious job, a prestigious address, and an even more prestigious wife, but when he finds his life’s work - and his life - have been co-opted for nefarious plans, he decides to take them back.
It’s 7:48 in the morning, I haven’t even had my coffee yet, and I’m watching as they’re hauling my body out of the river. I’m an Upload, a clone. They’ve mapped my genes, replicated my DNA, made a copy, and now I need to solve my own murder.
Amidst the gathering storm, rebellions and alliances are sealed and broken, gods cast lots on warring nations, and ravens whisper prophecy into the ears of druids. The renegade blade rises from ash, to burn through the endless night as fire.

I don’t know ... that number is automatically generated, I think, based on the assumption of the finished novel being 50,000 words. When you start a pre-order campaign, a questionnaire will ask you how many words the novel will have, and the page number will change accordingly. It looks like it’s only funding novels which have the pagecount in an obvious place, though, and then it’s possible to change it (regardless of wordcount) via the "edit project" button. I’m guessing that the pagecount for works still in draft mode was never supposed to be visible.
Can anyone help? I have started a "profile" and put in my title and two blurbs, but now even though I am logged in, I cannot get back into the profile to type in the sample chapter. There should be a way for me to reenter my own project; I briefly saw a box that invited me to write and add a chapter, but while I was opening something else on my computer, it disappeared and would not reopen.

Okay. As some of you know, I’m currently battling cancer. While my treatments are going as well as can be expected and I’m optimistic, there are obviously still concerns. And, while looking at a calendar listing dates of Quill funding, MS requests, Quill publication dates, etc... I realize that there’s a very real chance I won’t be alive to see my book’s publication through Quill. I know I only reached funding 4 months ago, but I haven’t even been asked for my manuscript yet, and who knows how far down in the queue I am. So I guess I just want to be pragmatic and look at the options.
In my case, what are the benefits to having my husband possibly publish through Quill after my death instead of self-publishing myself beforehand? As far as I can tell, we are in charge of our own marketing, cover design, and editing process in either case, right? I realize that Inkshares offers copy-editing for Quill publications, but I already paid to have The Last Faoii professionally edited months ago. On top of that, the profits for the first 250 sold copies in Quill go completely to production, which is not the case in self-publishing.
The biggest difference I can think of is that with Quill I can at least promise my readers signed copies-- except I can’t even promise that if the worst comes to pass before my turn in the queue. (Luckily, I already made signed bookplates for my readers as a contingency plan, so my warriors will still walk away with something worthwhile at the end of it all-- but I don’t see why I can’t send those out in either scenario). Am I missing something? What are the benefits of publishing through Quill?
