Matt Kaye liked an update for Trekonomics

Dear readers and supporters of Trekonomics,

Great news!

As you may have noticed, your copies of the book are shipping out this week! Don’t forget to confirm your address.

If you are among those backers outside of North America, your package will take a little longer. But it will get to your door eventually.

For supporters and friends of Trekonomics on the West Coast, save the following dates:

In Los Angeles: reading and signing at Skylights Books in Los Feliz (1818 N. Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027), Saturday June 4th 2016 at 5:00 PM. The one and only Chris Black (Mad Men, Star Trek: Enterprise, The Outcast etc...) will introduce the book.

In the Bay Area: Prof. Brad DeLong has tentatively agreed to join us from Starfleet Academy (aka Berkeley) to discuss all things Trekonomics at Books Inc. Berkeley (1491 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley 94704) on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 7:00 PM.

I hope to see you there!

There will be more events announced shortly.

Live Long, and Prosper.

Manu

PS: the meantime, here is a picture of the book in its final, bookstore-ready form:

Matt Kaye created a forum thread: Quill Author Marketing Guide

Since launching Quill last fall we’ve had our first handful of marketing consultations with Quill authors. In those consultations we reviewed the fundamentals of building a book marketing strategy, plan, and executing against that plan.

We thought it would helpful to create a guide that walks through those fundamentals and offers concrete examples. Our hope is that this guide will be helpful for any author, either self-published, Quill, Inkshares, traditionally published, or currently funding on Inkshares.

Feel free to ask additional questions here, and enjoy!
