It has been a while, and so many great things have happened. Let me break them down.
Since getting bumped from Quill an Inkshares property, and getting all the wonderful benefits that come with that, The Living God went through several rounds of developmental edits. It has been copyedited, "poured" into book format, proofread, and had a brand new cover designed by Tim Barber of @dissectdesigns!
I don’t know about you, but I think it looks fantastic. I’ve gotten several compliments on it ranging from, "Its beautiful!" to "It looks like a NYT bestseller!" And while it may not be a NYT bestseller (yet, gotta keep the faith), it sure does make me feel like one!
The whole process has been a rollercoaster of emotions, mostly joyful. However, there is a change that I am sorry to inform you. The publisher has moved the release date to May. This is to better strategically place and market the book. While I’m bummed you won’t get it for a few more months, I understand their decision to do so.
These things take a lot longer than I ever anticipated when I started this process and when you pre-ordered in 2016. I want to thank you all again for believing in me and in this project, but especially for your patience. May will be here before you know it, I promise.
Dear Inkshares Community,
After three years, I wanted to let each of you know that Elena Stofle will be leaving the company this week.
For the past three years, Elena has managed operations at Inkshares. She single-handedly made sure your books got to backers, to reviewers at places like Publishers Weekly, and to bookstores in time for your events. Elena accomplished all of this with the skill, efficiency, and aplomb she garnered from her time in the United States Air Force.
While it will be difficult to see Elena go, I hope you will each wish her well as she goes on to pursue her MBA full time. And worry not: all books will still get to where they are going!
In the meantime, please address all correspondence to Angela Melamud, angela@inkshares.com.
I look forward to updating you in the near future on some of the people who will be joining the Inkshares team.
Adam.
