On April 30, after six months of hustle and 438 pre-orders, Inkshares agreed to publish Bane of All Things. Woo hoo!
I can’t say when yet. There is still much work to do. The Inkshares team and I are in wholehearted agreement that BoAT be the best version of itself that it can be before hitting bookstores. Debut novels face a tough battle to get noticed these days, what with Netflix, HBO and everything else on a 55-inch flat screen competing for people’s attention.
We don’t want to just publish a novel, but a novel with the best chance of success.
So, it will be back to school for me and BoAT for the next several months with Inkshares’ Inkubator Program. Consider it the literary version of the incubator that a tech startup would go into, with the nose-to-the-grindstone revising and editing that I expected would follow a successful campaign.
I will keep you up to date as this moves along. Hopefully before too long, I can give you news about an actual publication date and when you can expect the copies you have pre-ordered.
For now, let me say once again, “Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!”
It is not an exaggeration to say that this could not and would not have happened without the patience and support of those precious individuals who agreed to join me on this venture and pre-order BoAT. My deepest and sincerest thanks.
The reality of this might finally be starting to sink in :).
Cheers
Leo
