Diving Kickstarter Doing Great!
An Understatement There… It funded in one hour (not a small ask, either) and hit the first stretch goal in ten hours. Still got twenty days to go. So for those of you who supported this, both Kris and I want to say, “Thank you!” Wow. And trust me, the novel THIEVES is going to be worth your time to read. Amazing and gripping. Especially if you are a fan of Boss and the universe in general. (And I just love this title image for the campaign, so putting it here again. Josh at WMG did a fantastic job with that using PhilCold’s original art which we commissioned for the…

New Diving Kickstarter… NOW LIVE!!
Launched Today Not one, but two new Diving novels for this one. For those of you who are fans of the Diving Universe, Kris finally returned to Boss and the boneyard in a novel called THIEVES. Oh! My! God! It is good!!! And has some surprises that will just keep you twisting. Amazing book. And it is a Boss book. And then Kris, in one of her moments of wanting to explain something to herself, wrote another novel that is set at the same time as the novel BONEYARDS and this one is called SQUISHY’S TEAMS. So two brand new Diving novels you can get early, way before publication dates,…

Doing a Workshop
Kris and I Are Putting Together a Kickstarter Basics Workshop… Every detail to think about when putting a Kickstarter campaign together, what to do first, second, third, and so on, all the way through the process and afterwards into fulfillment. So one of the best ways to research the details needed for the workshop is to do another Kickstarter campaign. And just write down the details as I go along. Since I have done fourteen or so now, I just automatically do things that I now have a memory of really struggling with the first few times through. And wow are there a lot of details. The one we are…

Kickstarter Full Workshop
Finally Going to Do It! Kris and I have been talking about this for some time, but it just never seemed like a right time to launch it. And we have the Best Practices on Teachable already that is free, but without a workshop structure, that can only cover so many details. But today, as we were talking about different aspects of what Brandon is doing and why over the years more writers don’t use Kickstarter and other sites like it, the reason became clear. The details. Writers are overwhelmed by the details. What do you do first, what do you do next, how do you set stuff up, how…

On Kickstarter Best Practices That is a free service that Loren Coleman and I are doing on Teachable, trying to help fiction writers get started and understand fiction on Kickstarter. Right now, Brandon Sanderson is over 5 million in three days on his fiction Kickstarter. So this is worth studying and looking at, even as a new writer with no fans. I have seen new writers make nice money on Kickstarter. Just have to know what you are doing and follow some best practices, and that is what Loren and I have done on that location, detail out and talk about the best practices for fiction writers on Kickstater. Again,…

Brandon Sanderson Kickstarter
In the Fiction Section under Publishing… This is huge and great news for all of us writers because finally the fiction section of Kickstarter will start getting some attention. Loren Coleman and I have been trying to get fiction writers to put up Kickstarter campaigns. And put them in the fiction section. Why? To get readers and buyers used to looking in Kickstarter for new books and authors, just as gamers go first to Kickstarter for new games. But just like with the gaming side, it needed a huge name to come in and blow the number out of the water so that the entire category will get more attention.…
