    @Paul Robinson Thank you very much, that’s actually very exciting! I’m now curious as to how reader interest is measured? (It does seem like something that would be kept secret so nobody plays the system, but if it isn’t I’d be happy to know)

      Does Blink apply to books that are in the draft stage, or is there still an expectation that they raise some funding on their own?

      Also, to me it seems like some part of the funding process is meant to demonstrate to Inkshares that the authors are genuinely serious about their book and dedicated to getting it published. Isn’t there some risk that blink might select a project where the author, for whatever reason, really isn’t ready for, or ultimately even fully interested in, bringing a polished and complete book to the publishing table?

        2 questions come to mind:

        1: Is Blink a ’full ride’ collection?

        2: (This sort of depends on the answer to 1.) How does it work in relation to Quill? If there’s interest in a Quill book can it get moved over to Blink or will it remain a Quill book?

        or is this just a collection for books still in funding?

          Amanda Orneck liked an update for Human Resources

          Thank you everyone that has been following Human Resources here on Inkshares. Today I received some exciting news. Actually, "exciting" doesn’t cut the mustard in this circumstance. 

          Today, The Launchpad Manuscript competition announced its Top 75 finalists -- and Human Resources is in the list! I am humbled, excited, and a little intimidated -- but I am strapped in and ready for the ride now taking off.


          If you don’t know about the Launchpad Manuscript Competition -- it is one of the "Inkshares" competitions, but a little different to their others. This one is run independently in conjunction with Energy Entertainment and  Scott Free Productions 

          (yes, *that* Scott). 

          Apart from being a partnership, this competition differs from Inkshares regular fair by having an expert judging phase -- entrants had to submit a traditional synopsis and up to 50 pages of manuscript for industry judges to assess. 

          The Top 75 have been selected by that panel.

           You get to pick the winners (hint -- pick me). 

          At some point there will be a more traditional Inkshares crowdfunding competition -- I’ll be reaching out to you when that happens. For now, I’m just too excited not to share the news!

          Robert
