Matthew Weissman liked an update for A God in the Shed

Including today, we have six days left to fund this project.

Fortunately, we only have 55 more copies to pre-order and we’re in the clear. You guys have been fantastic in the past two weeks. The response to my call for support has been tremendous and I feel like we can do this.

The next few days are going to be very important. In six days, I celebrate the end of this campaign, whether it is a success or a failure. I’ve already pulled out the bottles of celebratory whisky. The results of the campaign will decide if I’ll be drinking from the first bottle, or the second.

If you haven’t already, help make sure I drink from the second bottle. It’s got a smokey, peaty flavour I really enjoy and also isn’t made from distilled sadness and concentrated failure.

Here’s a reminded of the incentives to help convince the last few of you who haven’t pre-ordered or that you can use to convince others:

  • Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story. 
  • Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item. 
  • Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters. 
  • Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book. 
  • You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature. 
You guys are so awesome, it’s kind of scary.

    Matthew Weissman liked an update for A God in the Shed

    Greetings friends!

    My first book with Inkshares, The Life Engineered is released. I still have a lot of promotional work to do with it to keep the spotlight on it, but as far as the heavy lifting is concerned, we are done. Time to focus on the next thing and the next thing is A God in the Shed.

    As of this writing, we are 271 orders away from getting published. We have 44 days to get these orders. You’re following this book so I know there’s a good chance you want to see it published. This is why, as of this moment, you are my army.

    Starting today, we are going to campaign to get A God in the Shed to 750 pre-orders. Here’s what I have in mind for myself:

    • I’m looking for places where I can talk about A God in the Shed. Podcasts, blogs, events, anything. I’ve got a few things lined up but I’m open to more options if you have them.
    • I will be revamping some of the things you see on the project page to add more content for you and to generate interest.
    • I will be investing in some strategic ads with content creators whom I enjoy and support to hopefully create a dialogue with their audience.
    • I will be mobilizing some of my more militant supporters into pushing A God in the Shed as much as possible. If that’s you, let me know.
    What do I expect from you? Very little, yet so very much.

    I need you to find one other person and personally guide them into pre-ordering A God in the Shed. It’s simple because who can’t find one friend who likes Fantasy/Horror and likes to support independent authors? It’s difficult because I’m putting the responsibility on you to ask, guide and follow up with them. If even half of you manage to do this, we’ll be in good shape to get published.

    Sounds good? What’s in it for you?

    1. If the book gets published and you ordered at the Deity level, you get your name in the book as a Patron.
    2. If you use a referral through the ’Recommend Via’ buttons at the top of the page, you get Inkshares credits that you can put towards other books.
    3. For each book you pre-order, you will get an entry into a random draw. For every successful recommendation, you will get another entry into this raffle. The winner of this raffle will have his name and likeness included in the book as a minor character that gets tragically murdered.
    4. You get to be on the ground floor of a trilogy that will, I hope, be pretty damn awesome.
    I’ll be sending occasional reminders and updates on the progress we’re making. You guys have been awesome with me so far and it seems greedy to ask for more, but the sooner I can stop promoting, the sooner I can get back to writing and I think that’s best for everyone.

    Go forth my army! Let’s get things published!

    Also; thanks. You’re all awesome.
