Lorenzo Petruzziello sent an update for The Love Fool

Hello fellow supporters!

Just a quick update, that’s not really an update but still somewhat of an update. A release date has not yet been set for THE LOVE FOOL. The full manuscript has been submitted and I’m just waiting to hear back on production schedule. I am assured that it is in line for production, but it seems there is a slight delay in the system. Hoping for a spring of 2017 release date, but I should know more next month. If you haven’t yet placed your order, please don’t hesitate. In the meantime, keep following our facebook page for up to date info.

Thank you,

Lorenzo (author)

To my dear Supporters,

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

WE’VE MADE IT! thanks for your support, THE LOVE FOOL reached the minimum threshold to get published via Inkshares.

First, I must thank all supporters for your generosity and time taken to back my project. It’s because of you, my dream to have a book out in the world is happening.

This book has taken up my spare time for over five years. And it all started when I attempted to write a book while temporarily living in Rome back in 2011. I never thought I’d actually have something until the story just poured out of me like a never-ending flowing river of gold. I returned from Rome with a large chunk of the first draft, then completed it in my spare time (after my full time job). After several cycles of reviews and feedback from several clever beta readers (you know who you are), and being slapped and pleasantly butchered by awesome editors... six versions later, I had the beautiful final manuscript of the novel you will be receiving. So, was it a lot of work? Heck, yeah!

Some of you may or may not know, that this whole writing/publishing situation is new to me. I’ve researched and learned a lot about the industry and all the many different ways a book can be published. From traditional (literary agent – publishing house) to crowd-funding (like Inkshares) to self-publishing. I looked at THE LOVE FOOL through different means and finally, like many of you, I am super excited that it will finally be available!

So, what’s next? Inkshares will be going through my manuscript -- making sure to have it print-ready, then the book will be released. So, look out for an official announcement with actual release date -- and, if you’ve ordered a paperback copy, info on when you’ll be receiving your signed book.

I’m really looking forward to finally share this story with you all. And I apologize for the delay and the tease, but I promise it’s worth it. THE LOVE FOOL is happening!

Again, I thank all of you backers who generously supported THE LOVE FOOL.

More details to come.

The short answer is yes, we reserve the right to move any Quill title into Inkshares, which would include all the features of the Inkshares publication process. We haven’t created rigid rules around when we would do this, but it would likely happen when a Quill title has shown enough positive sales momentum to indicate broad reader demand.

Lorenzo Petruzziello liked the 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!

Two novelists who had twice the fun and half the angst co-writing a supernatural thriller.

Hello readers!!

Thank you for the growing support for THE LOVE FOOL. Things have been progressing well.

THE LOVE FOOL has reached 178 pre-orders; which is super exciting! I am so happy for the enthusiasm for reading my debut novel. :)

I’m close to the minimum (250) pre-order goal, I just need another 72 to reach it - and get published.

My deadline is SEPT 23 - and I’m not there yet. So, I ask that if you have not pre-ordered yet, please don’t hesitate to help THE LOVE FOOL get published.

For those of you that have already pre-ordered - thank you, thank you, thank you!!

-Lorenzo (il Magnifico)
