Learning Curve Day…
Combination of Frustrating and Fun Been a while since I did a full book cover, spine, and back cover with InDesign, but worked out great even though I had to totally build it from scratch since previous administrations of WMG didn’t see fit to save a flipping template. Sigh…. Then went from InDesign to Canva, to start learning what everyone says is so easy. Well, not so much. Going to take me some time there. Got a hunch it is the InDesign learning making it more difficult as it did with Vellum. So put the cover for the first volume of DETECTIVES COLLIDE that I did into 3d and worked…

Kickstarter Friday
No Fiction Campaigns This Week That Are Worth Studying and Backing… I do this every Friday when I have a few campaigns I think are worth putting here. Tonight no one sent me any campaigns to do, and honestly there were a few good campaigns, but ending in hours or one day and not worth mentioning. And one big one that is doing all right but will lose a ton of money. Not something to study. I will not say much negative about a campaign. If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here. And for those wondering where I get off judging…

Kickstarters…
We Did 12 in 12 Months… That was a little much, to say the least, and we got behind, but as of now, except for some paper and hardbacks still fighting their way to escape from Ingrams, we have fulfilled pretty much everything. Since Kris and I are doing everything these days for our own writing, we realized that Kickstarters could be a really fun thing at times. Sure, we will still use them as a start of promotion of a new book or series of books. But we got laughing the other day about how much fun it would be to do a five day one, very focused, all…

Do a Kickstarter At Any Point…
How Many Books Do I Need?… … Before I can think about doing a Kickstarter? I have gotten that question a bunch lately. For a while, I thought you needed a maybe ten or so books, but then a friend reminded me of a writer I saw do a Kickstarter with their first collection. First book ever, actually. And another writer wrote me and said they had done a Kickstarter with their very first book, a stand-alone novella. Both did great, built some readers, did more campaigns as they finished new books, and kept building readers and fans so that by the time they both reached that magical discoverability level…
