Boosting the signal

From mizkit - who is running a pretty damn cool Kickstarter campaign of her own. You can find it here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/100040609/no-dominion-a-walker-papers-novella-by-ce-murphy

She's only a little short of the trade paperback and you know you want it, so....!

Catie says:

Or there's Matt Forbeck, who's doing a 12 For '12: a novel a month in 2012. The sheer ambitious insanity of that makes me…want to try it myself, of course, but no, I'll let Matt do it. :)

And Laura Anne Gilman suricattus has just launched a campaign for From Whence You Came, a novella set in her Lands Vin universe. You will perhaps recall me squeeing over that world, where the magic is based in wines. I thought it was a brilliant idea when Laura Anne mentioned it years ago, and I basically held my breath all the way through the wait & reading of the first book because the idea was so good I was afraid nobody could quite live up to it with the writing, but Laura Anne *totally* did, and I was and am thrilled with that. So, um, go support her campaign so I can read the novella. O.O :)

(Back to me) Pop over to Catie's LJ and check these out. These are all very cool projects, run by authors who are some of the most interesting writers around. I can't stress enough how much of a difference these crowdfunded campaigns make to authors. Sure, we're mainstream and small press published as well. But these projects - as well as the obvious financial benefit - allow us to interact with our readers in a way that hasn't really been seen in publishing before. We're doing something new; YOU are doing something new, and hopefully we are all benefiting from it. Thank you.
