Craig Munro I hate to ask, but I admit I am getting a little desperate.
As I already mentioned in a previous post I am crowdfunding my novel. Well it's a little more than that I'm in this contest: https://www.inkshares.com/contests/th...
The top 3 books get full publication treatment including marketed as a real physical book to Barnes and Noble etc etc.
I'm 3rd, and there are only 2 days left in the contest but number 4 is a teacher and he's signing up all his students and gaining fast.

Could I ask you to sign up on Inkshares and pick up a copy? It's quite easy to get 10$ credit which makes the eBook pre-order free (no Credit card or paypal required) I would be forever grateful if any of you can help me out!
I'm not sure how to post a picture here so I'll leave a link both to my inkshares page and my facebook author page where I wrote out instructions on getting the credits.

I am more than happy to answer any questions or comments! Thank you !!!

So your book Looks really interesing and I signed up, but how exactly do I get the credits, it says I can Review a book or recommend to a friend, but how do I do that if I haven't read any of the books since I can't buy them. I'm just a Little confised with the Website.

Craig Munro Thanks Tessa :)
I know the site isn't really intuitive (that's been one of my biggest hurdles with this effort).
The first 5$ credit should be delivered to your email address just for having signed up (you need to click on the "claim" button in the email to get them).
The second 5$ comes from recommending a book on the site using the recommend via : Inkshares button (large black button next to the twitter, facebook and email buttons at the top of the page) For it to accept a recommendation you need to write something (anything) and the new credits should be on their way to you by email within a couple of minutes. Once you have claimed those, the price of the eBook will be listed as 0$ which you can then "pre-order" for free.

The review or recommend is supposed to be based on the sample chapters (I have a prologue and 4 chapters posted). Some authors on the site post more, others less.

Recommending a book to a friend (via email, facebook or twitter) gets you a further 10$ credit if that person uses the link you sent them and pre-orders the book you recommended. (which even makes it possible to get a free physical copy of the book if you live in the states and can benefit from the free shipping)

Thank you again for taking a look!

Craig Munro It's a great community for writers actually. Very supportive and helpful bunch and the publication model is a nice halfway point between self-publishing and going with the major publication houses and all the complications that entails.
The current contest is fraying my nerves but it's been a great experience over all.

I'll let you know what I think, love the cover by the way

Craig Munro Thank you :) It may get changed a little. If I win this, Inkshares will put me in touch with professionals who can probably improve on my efforts.
