HEY.

GUESS WHAT.

Get ready for the inaugural Inkshares Review-a-Thon!

On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option.

Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more!

Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of the WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!

Prizes?!?!

Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:

• Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest!

• Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest!

• An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!

• $30 in Inkshares credits!

Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits!

Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email me at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.

(And authors, if you're in, please copy the message above and include it in your next update!)

It's gonna be fun. 

Hey folks! Great uptick in orders this week. I'm working on a promo video for you all, let me know if you have any questions you want answered about the book, my process, or my holiday plans (I suggest the former subjects, as my plans involve lots of cookies and parade viewings...)
Hope to hear from you soon!

Important Update: SADIE MCGRADY, LEADING LADY

Sadie fans, I need your help to make sure this book gets published and into the hands of today’s girls – tomorrow’s leaders! We have 54 days left to sell 520 more copies of “Sadie McGrady, Leading Lady” and kickstart the publishing process. That sounds like a lot of books, but Sadie has 244 followers on Inkshares. If most of you find 1-2 friends to become Readers (1 book order) or Super Readers (3 book order) we’ll be sure to reach the goal and get published. Books are only $10 during the crowd funding process. Once published, Inkshares will increase the price.

 Please take a few minutes right now (before the holiday rush) to e-mail a few friends and ask them to invest in this book. Share our Inkshares link and let them know that “Sadie McGrady, Leading Lady” will be available via Amazon, major bookstores and independent bookstores by early-summer 2016 as our country’s general election is heating up – a great time to talk to kids about what it’s like to be a candidate and what it’s like to be President of the United States.

New on our Inkshares page – you can now read the full manuscript. Many of the photographs are still being processed, but you can get a good idea for the feel of the book from the images on our page. We’ll share more photos as soon as we can! They're really fantastic (no surprise, since they were captured by the talented Corey Williams).

 We need your help to get to 1,000 so thanks in advance and stay tuned for updates!
