ONE GOAL DOWN!!  THANK YOU

So we JUST hit the quill goal which means the book will be published it will get an ISBN and it will be real honest book!

You all are the best. I’m so excited to get this story into people’s hands and I can’t thank you enough.

ONWARD to the full goal!

So we’re a third of the way to the full publishing goal. If we get 750 pre-orders we not only get published but get a full edit and polish, professional type people sweating over the cover art and armies of marketing people planning spectacular things including author events, bookstore placement and more!

So if you can, please spread the word. In fact, mathematically speaking, if each of you convince two other people to preorder, we would be guaranteed to get the full publishing goal. It’s science!

In celebration of hitting this first goal I’m adding a new sample chapter for you to take a look at. I hope you enjoy!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages...

...it’s crunch time.

In little less than two weeks we will be seeing the end of the ’A God in the Shed’ campaign. It’s great news as this sort of self-promotional effort does no good for my anxiety and self-worth but not as good when one notices we are still a little over 200 pre-orders away from our goal.

I’ve already gotten in touch with those of you who follow the book but haven’t ordered. Thanks for indulging me and double-thanks to those who have decided to pre-order as a result. If everyone who’s still on the fence like this pre-orders we’ll be funded in no time as there are over 300 of you.

For those of you who’ve already ordered, don’t think you’re off the hook. I know it’s asking a lot from someone who’s already benefiting from your support and generosity but I need your help just as much. Here’s what I want you to do:

1. Look at your friend list or around you. Find that person you know who loves a good horror story or is really passionate about crowdfunding or being part of the early crowd for cool projects. I know this is likely yourself but see what you can do.
2. Send them an email or if possible show them the project page in person. Tell them why YOU pre-ordered a copy and show them the parts of the project that hooked you. Share your passion.
3. Get them to pre-order. Don’t allow them to tell you they’ll do it later.
4. Have them use your reference code for the book so that you get credit for it (important so you can get more books and so that you’re counted for more entries in my raffle to win a bit part in the book).
5. Enjoy the glow of knowing you’ve done something for an aspiring writer and pat yourself on the back for being a patron of the arts.
6. Message me that you’ve done it. I want to do something special for my last minute ambassadors.

Thank you everyone for paying attention to this project and for the support you’ve shown. I have other treats planned over the next few days that I hope I have time to put together. I feel very strongly about showing my gratitude.

Regards,

JF
