A good start would be to follow them, their projects, and use the forum to learn from the masters! You can bring anyone into a conversation by using their name in a comment (for example, @Thaddeus Woodman ).

Best of luck!

I thought I’d dedicate some space in our forum for new authors coming in through the Nerdist Space Opera Contest to say "hi", meet other authors/readers, ask questions, etc...

You may find it useful to look at some of our previous contests as well; https://www.inkshares.com/our_contests

Cheers!

So far, I’ve lost track of all the people whose books I plan to read, and get lost between who I’ve followed and which book. I have no idea what to do with the dashboard. And just now I somehow earned 10 inkshare dollars because someone bought a book I recommended. I have no idea what to do with this, or why I really got it. I also have no idea about how to promote myself.

But what I have discovered is that there are some damned brilliant writers on here, so I will keep on plodding along, adding comments here and there, and hopefully get back to people who have asked me to read their work.

My apologies if I haven’t got back or read your work yet.

I find a friday night working in the emergency room easier than figuring out self promotion.

Anyway, I love this site, and am enjoying the reading.
