Hm hmm hmm.
Tra la la.
What? What's that, you say? Something... happened?
Hmm. I suppose I should read the latest message from Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas...
AHHHH! CHANGES ARE COMING!!!
Here's a quick rundown, my dear friends, family, and followers:
New total pre-order goal: 750 instead of 1,000
New tier for "light" publishing (light editing, limited marketing and distribution): 250 pre-orders
New pre-order price: $20 for trade paperback + ebook, $30 for hardcover
I've put 14 years of development and 5 years of writing into this manuscript. Alex is a brutal developmental editor (love you, honey!). I'm so confident in this book, and I really think the light publishing track will produce something that I will be proud of... but I still want to shoot for the gold. I want to reach 750 pre-orders. I want to send you all signed first-edition copies of my gorgeous, illustrated book!
So... onward! If you know of anyone who might want to order my book, tell them to order before Oct 30th at noon to get it at the lower price.
And thank you, really, you who have already ordered. Thank you.
NOW, AN UPCOMING EVENT:
Look at this postcard she made to advertise it:
And she's been making these graphic thingies that are pretty cool, too:
And she even made this author quote thing from that rant I went on in an earlier update!!
Look at all this! Is this what it feels like when people believe in you? This is WEIRD but also COOL and I like it in the sense that I've worked really hard on this book and now people are seeing value in it and talking about it, which is GREAT. But I'm also, you know, hyperventilating with anxiety from all the pressure, hahahahAHAAHAHahahaha. It's all good, don't worry. It doesn't count as bravery if you're not scared.
Thank you, Leah. You're amazing. And the rest of you are amazing, too!
I hope to see you Friday...
