9/15/2023 - Kickstarter Weekend, Ebook Bundles, and “The Expanding Universe”
We are 24 hours away from launch on the MURDERBUGS and VAMPIRE SURVIVAL GUIDE Kickstarter. Which means I am humming “One Day More” from Les Miserables—which is exactly what you would expect from someone publishing titles like MURDERBGUGS…
Our Kickstarter launches Saturday, September 16, at about 3pm Eastern, internet willing. And we have wrangled a collection of day-one bonuses from some fellow scifi, fantasy, and horror publishers who are happy to add a little bit of humor to the mix. Everyone who pledges $8 or more in the first day will receive a bonus bundle of ebook content.
I’ll message with other updates along the way, but I also want to highlight some options for superfan readers and emerging authors:
- Limited opportunities to put yourself into the stories through Tuckerizations AND one-of-a-kind (as in one-backer-only) opportunities to direct the course of a future story in a couple different upcoming anthologies.
- Add-ons for short story critiques and workshops from authors with editing expertise AND more workshops to hone your writing skills.
I haven’t said as much about THE VAMPIRE SURVIVAL GUIDE while putting together the MURDERBUGS table of contents—and that’s partially because we’re selecting most of the stories after the Kickstarter concludes. But, if we meet one of our stretch goals, we will be including a story from Alex Shvarstman!
If you want to see more of the day-one information and updates in real time, I’ll be posting on this event. https://www.facebook.com/events/669139751877102
Please help spread the word, and wish us luck!
