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
