As you know (or if you forgot), DAX HARRISON was nominated into a new Inkshares competition known as THE LIST 2016. From now until December 31st, the amount of new readers I acquire will determine if I land a FULL publishing ride (as opposed to the "Quill" light publishing deal I originally reached). That means additional perks like marketing support, physical bookstore distribution, cover design, etc.

Currently, Dax stands in 7th place according to the contest page. Though that number may be corrected in the near future (My actual total reader count stands at 274). Either way, I would looove to see this number go up.

I know it’s been a long ride for those of you who have been with me since this thing started last year. But if you get a chance to do me a tiny favor this holiday season and just take a minute to share this book with another silly sci-fi loving friend, I would really appreciate it. On Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in a personal email, smoke signal, telegraph, messenger raven, whatever you like. Just tell them it’s a fun little story with laughs and spaceships and explosions, all for the price of 2 Grande Pumpkin Spice Lattes! (Actually cheaper if you include the tax!)*

*$10 for the ebook, $20 for paperback/ebook bundle

And for those of you who are following this book (there’s over 500 of you total!) but have NOT bought a copy yet, let’s chat a minute.

"What can I do to get you into your own personal copy of Dax Harrison today?" (Imagine that in a sleazy used car salesman voice)

Seriously though, I would love to hear from my mysterious followers. Feel free to direct message me on Inkshares and say hi. Who knows? Maybe I just might be able to convince you to give old Dax a chance. ;)

Happy Holidays everyone! (*slips on plaid blazer, combs hair, adjusts pinky ring*)

Each of the platforms has a slightly different take.
Unbound requires you to submit your manuscript, after which they review it and put it up for a campaign if it passes their initial assessment. If you are successful Unbound publishes you.
Inkshares lets you start immediately and do your thing, even if you don’t have a finished manuscript. If you are successful in your campaign, Inkshares publishes you.
Publishizer lets you start with a proposal and crowdfund, but they don’t acutally publish you. They connect you with other publishers (who will want to talk to you — hopefully — if your campaign is successful).

Pros and cons of each. I don’t know as much about publishzer, but at first glance it isn’t as appealing to me. Unbound is a good option, if you have a completed manuscript read to go.

For all of them, you need to get organised before starting a campaign and you need to attack it methodically. Any campaign, on any platform, is going to be hard work.

Eric H. Heisner recommended The Walls are Closing In

An interesting start to a tale of social commentary. Very intrigued to see where this one leads.

The Seclusion

Sixty years after The Seclusion, in which America sealed itself off from the outside world, Patch Collins navigates the panoptic nightmare of a total surveillance state.
