Help Get Me Published - Alex - 01-27-2018
Hi, Omniverse, how you doin'? Been a while -- work has been pretty awful since I got break from what was actually a very relaxing Winter Break. Had to organize a science fair team at the last minute, have to grade dozens of papers before the grade deadline... got a job evaluation next week and the follow up the week after... real life is hard. At least I can file my taxes in the next week or so, once I get my 1098-t form from grad school.
Anyway. Over break and in the intermittent periods of free time, I was able to get my manuscript to a spot where I wanted it to be. After receiving the help of a great artist, I had a piece of cover art and was good to go. I submitted my stuff to Kindle Scout, which is an online platform where new authors can be published digitally and, well, you know -- get paid for it.
I don't often pander to social media/the internet in general, but I'm 100% certain that this is a platform where you must pander and word-of-mouth to be successful. Plus, we're talking like, one of my dreams here, so heck yes I'mma ask for all the help I can get.
So I'm asking for anyone out there with an Amazon account to go an nominate my work to be published. You can go read the first 6 chapters as an excerpt, and if I do get published, you get a free e-book.
While it's taken me a stupid amount of time to get my ideas into one coherent book, this place helped me a lot, as I used this place to help flesh out the personality and backstory of one of my novel's main characters.
The link is here -- https://kindlescout.amazon.com/p/RTLQCXG7D5EF -- there's a blue 'nominate' button. You just need an Amazon account.
I appreciate your support, Omniverse.
All the love in the world,
Alex

I have clicked the blue thing, yo. And read like, the first 4 chapters. Kinda pressed for time rn, but I'll probably read the rest later.
Good luck Alex.

Good luck. ^_^

I am a simple Sundoge, I see "free stuff", I press Nominate :derp:
Very fancy suit by the way, Alex!
On a semi related note, I apparently have an Amazon Account but I can't ever remember having chosen that name. And it has no activity to it :psy:

Lookin' good. Got yourself another nomination. :frogpipe:

Voted for you dude. All the best.

I get the feeling this isn't based on the event of the same name. Which might be for the best. That was a bit salty.
RE: Help Get Me Published - Alex - 01-28-2018
lol, no
That's been my manuscript name for 6 or 7 years.

Final two days of my campaign. If you've already support or passed along, gracias.
If not, here's your chance to help me out and maybe get a free e-book

As a book end (lolpun), my book's available online -- anyone who supported my scout campaign should get an email about it.
It's an ebook right now, but a paperback version should be available by the end of the month.
RE: Help Get Me Published - Pennywise - 04-18-2018
Will buy as many copies as possible once it's paper!
RE: Help Get Me Published - Reece - 04-18-2018
Might not be able to get around to reading it for a while, since the size of my 'to-read' list greatly eclipses the amount of free time I actually have...
But I bought a copy, anyways.
Once again, I wish you the best of luck with this, man.

The paperback version of "The Heroes' Graveyard" is available on Amazon. It's print-on-demand, hence a slightly higher price than I would have set but that's also why I made the ebook super cheap.
I plan to have the ebook available on Google Books and iTunes by the end of the month as well.

Link me you bastard. So that I may swipe the plastic card and make it rain pages.

You can just SEARCH FOR IT
Sent. Anyone else who just wants a link can PM me -- for some reason, I'd feel dirty just posting a link here.
