The N4SA2e Kickstarter opens tomorrow, about 8AM EDT. Why “about?” The launch is manual. I must log in and hit a button. The first 512 bytes of my brainstem are barely enough to hold the instructions for obtaining caffeine, so it won’t be first thing.
This one feels weird. With 232 sponsors, 170 of them print sponsors, it’s my most sponsored book, which makes me think that I’ve already taken a good chunk out of my market. But the Kickstarter pre-launch page has 380 followers, more than I’ve ever had before. Maybe that’s great? Maybe they’re interested sponsors? Who knows?
What’s gonna happen? Not a damn clue.
I do know that getting a Kickstarter “Project We Love” badge means that KS gives the project an algorithmic boost. I also know that they choose PWL, in part, based on first day backer momentum. If the book interests you, please consider backing it the first day. Of course, I’d welcome your support any day!
Once the book ships to sponsors and Kickstarter backers it will be exclusive in my store for 30 days, the I will release it to retailers. I expect it to retail for $12.99, which means it will not be in Amazon’s Kindle store. Kindle users can buy it from other stores, but not Amazon’s.
