Richard Saunders sent an update for Earth In The Year 10,000

Two quick notes.

1. We have officially moved to the Draft Stage and need to start building a community of Readers and potential Backers! (previously, this group has been almost exclusively made up of Inkshares authors interested in submitting an entry for possible inclusion in the anthology)

2. We have a temporary cover! (check it out)

    We now have  over 100 Inkshares authors on board and a submission deadline.

    I should have mentioned this previously - we’re shooting for wide audience appeal and as such the Anthology will be family friendly G or PG rated.

      You did it! (Jumping up and down waving hands wildly - it’s not a pretty sight, so we decided not to show the video)

      100 Inkshares authors are following this "Idea" and have expressed interest in submitting one or more entries.

      This project stands an excellent chance of winning a Full Fledged Inkshares publishing package, due to the following two reasons:

      1. The sponsors, Mykl Walsh and Richard Saunders have already demonstrated the ability to achieve this goal. Their unusual book 

      https://www.inkshares.com/books/journey-secretagentman-volume-1-2 (Click Here)

      was released in December. It is one of the few Inkshares books that have cracked the Barnes & Noble problem. It is in a few B&N store locations so far and we are working on expanding into more.

      On March 12, from 12 to 3 PM, Rich Saunders will be appearing at the Burlington, Massachusetts B&N location. For more info on this book see http://secretagentman.org (click Here).

      2. The second reason is that around 12 to 15 Inkshares authors will have a story, essay or poem in the book. They will share in the income stream and will get a royalty advance. With the combined unrelenting power of ALL of these authors working to generate pre-orders, it is almost guaranteed to reach the 750 pre-order level!

      We hope that everyone who believes in this project and submitted an entry (who don’t make the cut, this time), will also help us by recommending the book to their followers. 

      If this is successful (and we firmly believe it will be), we’ll start soliciting entries for Volume II as soon as we reach the funding level for this one.

      Quill is NOT out goal. 750 pre-orders or bust!

      So get cracking on your entries! We have received several already and the competition will be tough.

      Thanks for all of your support and good luck to everyone here; with this and with your other Inkshares projects!

      Kindest regards,

      Mykl & Rich

        Richard Saunders liked an update for Champions of the Third Planet

        Hello Champions!

        I don’t know about you guys but I had a cool day yesterday: I got to read the first chapter of Champions of the Third Planet to the fourth and fifth graders at Mid-City’s Prescott School of Enriched Sciences here in Los Angeles. 

        It’s been a looooong time since I was in elementary school but the students and teachers and Principal Panes were very welcoming and highly enthusiastic. I also got to leave before anybody gave out homework. 

        This was the first time I’ve read any of the book to anybody and I thought the reaction was FANTASTIC -- I hope the kids agree. The room got really quiet when I started to read about Milo and the Orb, the kids seemed to spark to the idea and asked me a lot of great questions afterward -- I really, really enjoyed it. Hopefully I can return when the book is on the shelves... 

         --Chris
