LAST DAY OF THRILLER KICKSTARTER…
END AT 7 PM TONIGHT… It is doing great. Really going to be fun to have those four novels back out with new and better covers. So much fun for me. And there are other books in this campaign, and cool mugs, and some limited books. (I already have the four mugs headed my way.) Wow does this Kickstarter campaign have two great workshops. We have never done a multiple viewpoint workshop before and as we got looking at it realized that the techniques to do multiple viewpoints correctly take a lot of learning and practice. Same with using Thriller Techniques in regular novels to make your regular novels more…

Kickstarter Friday
A Number of Fiction Kickstarters Every Friday… I only list the campaigns I like and that I think would be worth studying for writers thinking of doing a campaign. Send me your campaign if you want me to consider listing it here. Fae-Blessed Deluxe Special Edition Fantasy Hardcovers by Momentum Media and Publishing. Fantasy romance special editions. This has great story (with voice), good illustrations, gifs, and art all the way. And the awards are good ones if you are interested in this type of book. This funded and is doing well. This one would be worth studying and backing if you like romantic fantasy with voice. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/momentummedia/fae-blessed-deluxe-special-edition-fantasy-hardcovers — Unbreak…

Friday Kickstarters
I Think These Campaigns Are Worth Looking At… To study or back or both. Before I start I need to tell you that I have a campaign starting on Tuesday at noon. Four Thriller Novels. Take a look if you get a chance. The first one this Friday was one I thought was pretty good, but then I realized it had AI in it and I won’t support anything with AI. I would suggest none of you do either. So here is a good one by a writer who has been in sf as long as Kris and I have and he has made the transition to indie. He is…

Other People’s Kickstarter Problems…
I Was Sent Two Campaigns Today… The owners of the campaigns wanted me to look at putting them here on my blog to promote. A new feature I am doing weekly, but I was clear I would not put up any campaign that I did not support or like. My blog, my rules. Both campaigns I got today were first campaigns and both were ambitious for single books, which is good, unless you try to cram in everything including the kitchen sink. Then information flow in the story is a major problem for backers. Both had that problem. Both had art that any 6th grader could have done better. And…
