Calculate Kickstarter Profits…
Stunning How Some Writers Set Up to Fail… And I am not talking about the total gross earned on a campaign or the number of backers or the amount of promotion a campaign will bring to a book or series. All that is really good in various ways. Nope, talking money only. There is no right number for a percentage of profit from a Kickstarter campaign. I have seen it vary from 85% of the gross down to losing money. Depends on the prices you set, the products you offer to backers, and the cost of those products. So a simple round-number example: You have a campaign that does well…

Let Me Show You A Brand…
POKER BOY BRAND… I have been writing Poker Boy stories since 1987. And over the years I tried to settle on a brand look as it became clear that Poker Boy was a main part of my writing. Marble Grant, Ghost of a Chance books and stories, Sky Tate, Pahket Jones, and others like Detective Crunch are all in the Poker Boy Universe. Finally, with all the learning I have been doing on brands and trademarks, the brand for Poker Boy finally came together with the brilliant help of Stephanie at WMG. And the look of the covers is finally settled as well. So firing up a Poker Boy Kickstarter…

Last Day On Kickstarter
Ends 7 PM Today West Coast Time… 3 Epic Fantasy novels by Kristine Kahtyrn Rusch. All backers get them, and all backers get 8 short stories by Kris and for writers some helpful hints. I want to remind writers again about the two fantastic workshops that you can get only in this Kickstarter. Do you really know the steps and what it takes to revive a book or series that is four or five years old and not selling much if any? Or maybe the book never sold many copies and needs a first push. The first special workshop will give you a step-by-step plan on how to do it.…

One Day Left on Fantasy Kickstarter
Ends Thursday Evening… I want to remind you all again about the two fantastic workshops in this Kickstarter. Do you really know the steps and what it takes to revive a book or series that is four or five years old and not selling much if any? Or maybe the book never sold many copies and needs a first push. The first workshop will give you a step-by-step plan on how to do it. The second special workshop is something everyone needs. How to Take Risks. Fiction writing and publishing should never be safe. Check it out here… — #1… HOW TO REVIVE AN OLDER BOOK OR STORY… This is…

Kickstarter Firing Up At Noon!
IF YOU LOVE FANTASY NOVELS… That is the Kickstarter for you. Three epic fantasy novels written by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Brand new editions of THE WHITE MISTS OF POWER, HEART READERS, and TRAITORS. All three books stand alone and are fantastic epic fantasy, so in bringing them forward into the light, Kris felt they all belonged together, so we branded them together. Turned out fantastic. And we hark back to the past just a bit. THE WHITE MISTS OF POWER was put out a few months ahead of the mass market edition in a limited slipcased hardback, numbered and signed by Kris. She is willing to part with just five…
