Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments Hi everyone,

Join the official sale for the QuaranCon 2021 Fantasy Convention.

QuaranCon started in 2020 when the spread of COVID-19 forced many conventions to be cancelled and forced readers and authors alike to stay home and quarantine. It's a free, virtual convention that is meant to be inclusive, welcoming, and fun! We're planning all kinds of great content including AMAs, panels, workshops, readings, and contests!

Join the fun and add your books to the sale:

M.L. | 49 comments Hi Noor,

Does the sale form need a book link? The book I'm planning to enter isn't published yet. :)


message 4: by Noor (new)

Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments Yeah, you need to sign up for the sale through storyorigin with the book links. As long as it will be published (or on preorder) by the sale date you should be able to join :) But let me know if you have trouble with it and I can help out.


message 5: by M.L. (new)

M.L. | 49 comments OK, I should have it up for pre-order by end of next week. I'm in the process of doing a last read-through. Thanks!

Tomas Grizzly | 5 comments A question: as Kindle Countdown deals are only for Amazon US and UK, does that mean I'd have to manually set the price down for the rest of the world?


message 7: by Noor (new)

Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments That would be great, yeah. I don't have experience with kindle countdown deals because I'm wide/not in select so I always have to do it manually, but yes, ideally if you can make it work in the rest of the locations manually that would be great.

(worst case scenario if you can only get it to be on sale for us/uk that's fine we'd rather have you join in the sale than not!)

Tomas Grizzly | 5 comments Thanks for the answer, I'll be looking into the options when I have a bit of spare time.

EDIT: I've set up a KCD for Amazon US at $0.99 and for Amazon UK at 0.99 GBP (won't let me go lower than that) starting at midnight 8th end ending at midnight 15th, both in their respective timezones.
I've set up StoryOrigin account and submitted, hopefully it all works out.

Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments :) Awesome, I just saw it and added you. Welcome aboard!

M.L. | 49 comments Hi Noor,

I'm working on this. Tomorrow I'll give my ToC a user test.


message 11: by Noor (new)

Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments Yay! :)

M.L. | 49 comments Hi Noor,

I set up an account at Story Origin and it is asking: Which email campaign will you include this Group Promo?

What should I put?

(The ebook is on Amazon, pre-order release date of Apr. 6.)

I submitted it. :) Let me know what else I should do. Thanks!


message 13: by Noor (new)

Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments You're in! All you have to do now is make sure it's at the sale price during the sale period and share the link when the time comes!

Also, I just wanted to say it looks awesome! You've got an amazing cover there! Best of luck with the launch and hope this sale can help a bit with that!


message 14: by M.L. (new)

M.L. | 49 comments Thank, much appreciated! Yes, I'll be sure it's at the sale price and share the link. I'll have to learn the Story Origin app as well.


message 15: by Noor (new)

Noor Al-Shanti | 97 comments Just a reminder to all authors interested in joining the sale to get in there quick before it starts!
