Matt Harry liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

Greetings, Hexers!

I’m plum in the middle of my cohort production cycle for Deus Hex Machina, about to head back into rewrites once I get approval from my editor. In our discussions the illustrious Matt Harry has suggested that I rename the book. I am quite fond of the title I chose for the novel, but I am too close to the subject, so Matt suggested I survey you loverly backers and see what you think. 

Here is a link to a survey. Please hop on over and tell me which of the title options you prefer. The more responses I get the better, but I’m starting with you all because you backed the book and should more say than those that didn’t. At least that’s how I see it.

Thanks so much,
Amanda

    REVIEW THE BOOK ON GOODREADS

    Hey everyone! If all goes according to plan I’ll be signing all of the preordered paperbacks on Thursday. The CEO of Inkshares sent me this picture this weekend. Doesn’t the final book look great?!

    If you’ve already finished reading please give the book a star rating on Goodreads. Also write a review if you feel so inclined-the review can be something as simple as "I liked this book." The more ratings, the more attention the book will get. You can login to Goodreads with Facebook. It’s so freaking easy to help! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33534889-sunshine-is-forever

    I’ll be opening preorders for my next book-KARID-sometime this fall. Follow the book here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/karid

    Thank you for your continued support! I hope you love the book!

      Matt Harry sent an update for Sorcery for Beginners

      Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,

      This week has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. First, Sorcery for Beginners was placed on NetGalley to solicit reviews. For those who don’t know, NetGalley is a website that gives out books to influential reviewers and readers for free, in exchange for honest opinions. Good reviews lead to positive word of mouth, which hopefully leads to sales. 

      So basically, my little word baby that I nurtured for five years and tried to raise as a decent manuscript has just been dropped in the middle of Times Square on a sweltering afternoon in July. Was I worried how people would respond to my earnest, adorably doe-eyed creation? It’s the Internet, you bet I was worried. 

      But then a few hours later, less than 24 hours that the book went live on NetGalley, the Inkshares marketing department sent me this:

      Amanda Scheel (Reviewer) has just reviewed Sorcery for Beginners. To add this review to the book page on NetGalley, click here:

      Full Text:
      I got this ebook arc copy for free from netgalley and I must say this is absolutely amazing! Fell into the world of magic and after reading this book, I didn’t want to put it down, even when I reached the last word. Such an incredible book, any Harry Potter fan will fall in love all over again!

      Additional Questions:Would you purchase this book for yourself or a friend? Yes

      WOW. Amanda, I can’t thank you enough. I know all the reviews won’t be this awesome, but these words mean a great deal to me. The fact that someone I don’t know enjoyed the book and finished it in ONE DAY is humbling and gratifying. As they say in E.T., I’m glad Sorcery for Beginners met you first.

      Oh, and something else came in the mail yesterday:


      For the first time, I held Sorcery for Beginners in my hand! My first reaction was how weighty the book is. It has heft, y’all. I think it could stop a bullet. 

      We have a couple more tweaks before we send the final final version to the printer, but this thing is real. It is coming your way. And no matter what kinds of other reviews come in, we’re already bulletproof.

        Matt Harry liked an update for The Walls are Closing In

        Glorious news! The Walls are Closing In has begun developmental edits.


        I received a thorough twelve-page document with insights, as well as several notes within the body of my manuscript, from the Head of Story Development at Inkshares, Matt Harry.

        I was so pleased to read Matt’s feedback and suggestions, as he certainly seems to understand what I am striving to accomplish with this novel. I know that he and the rest of the team at Inkshares will guide me in strengthening the story, ensuring that all of you receive the best version possible.

        Matt has worked on Tal Klein’s Punch Escrow, which recently signed a deal with Lion’s Gate, and JF Dubeau’s recently released A God in the Shed, optioned by Skydance. Matt’s own book, Sorcery for Beginners, will be out in October.

        Check out a recent video with Matt Harry, discussing the development of A God in the Shed.

        Over the next several weeks I will be hard at work incorporating Matt’s suggestions, and then I will send the revised manuscript to him for round two. It also sounds like Inkshares has started kicking around some ideas for the cover. I will keep you posted on all fronts.

        Until next time,

        Jacqui
