copperbadge:Waiting on a second proof copy of Six Harvests now, due to some Concerns About The Cover because of a few snags in uploading. I’m still planning to go ahead with opening the book up for sale at 10am Central time (4pm GMT) on December 26th, this coming Saturday. There will be three versions of the book available – hardcopy for $14, epub for $6, and PDF (non-DRM) for free. The sales post will have links to all three, and for the hardcopy and epub I definitely get more of the cut if you buy through Lulu, so that’s where I’ll be linking. The PDF will be hosted at Gutenberg. The bookplates have arrived and look very pretty, and I’ve built the order form to purchase a signed/dedicated bookplate, which will be a charitable fundraiser. The form is a google poll that asks you for some preferences, then takes you to a paypal page where you can pay. The paypal page will offer $7, $10, $12, or “another” amount, so you have some options, but I’m hoping most people who can will choose $10. Whatever you pay, minus roughly $1, will be pooled with everyone else’s contributions and divided among three nonprofits that I feel represent the values of the book: 45% to Heifer International – a worldwide nonprofit working to end poverty and hunger through seeding and sustaining agriculture, with a focus on entrepreneurs and small businesses. 45% to Planned Parenthood – a US-based nonprofit offering reproductive health services at low or no cost, as well as outreach, education, and political advocacy. 10% to the Anti Cruelty Society – okay, this one’s a little more local :) but it’s the Chicago-based shelter where I adopted the Cryptids, and it is as it were one of my “pet” charities. Excited for Saturday! Definitely not consumed with anxiety! -- source link
