    Last Day for Fey Kickstarter

    Counting Down the Hours… Ends at 7 PM West Coast Time!! Brand New Fey Novel Kickstarter Campaign. Amazing books, amazing workshops, and everyone gets the first Fey novel in 22 years, THE KIRILLI MATTER. We just hit the 7th stretch goal and climbing, which means that all backers not only get seven more stories by Kris, but writers get six months of Motivational classes. And I think it is possible to another stretch goal before this is over if we can all pass the word. Again, ends at 7pm Thursday West Coast Time. This is the last hours. At that point the special workshops go away. And you will have…

    Why Do We Do Kickstarters?

    I Got That Question Today… The question sort of caught me by surprise, to be honest. First off, surface reasons. 1… It gets new books to readers ahead of the publication date and at a discount. Fans of a series or a writer enjoy that. I know I do, which is one of the reasons why I back so many campaigns. 2… It gets our work out to readers we might never find and they might then buy more of our work. This is called discoverability. 3… It is amazing promotion and advertising and you don’t have to pay for it. In fact, if you do it right, you get…

    Fun Video

    Lessons from the Writing of the Fey… This is a really fun video, and on the BRAND NEW FEY NOVEL Kickstarter for six more days you can get the videos at a discount, or get them through the major workshop we are offering there, or buy the entire group of them on Teachable under Lessons from The Writing of the Fey.
