When I heard about the Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest, I quickly figured out exactly what I wanted to write about for my submission. After some reflection and research, I wrote a short story called “Welcome to Solardale.” The bad news is that my story didn’t win the contest. The good news is that it’s now available for publication elsewhere, including my Patreon campaign!
I’m pleased to announce that I’m organizing a Climate Fiction Group Promo for October 2021! This post contains all of the basic details about the group promo, including what it is and how you can participate as a reader or an author.
Do you like reading? Would you be willing to write a few sentences about a book you enjoyed? You may be eligible to receive free review copies of books from indie authors!
Traditional publishers only give out review copies to professional reviewers. Some indie publishers and self-published authors have a broader definition of who qualifies as a reviewer. If you love reading and are willing to post reviews online, you may qualify for a free ebook review copy.
If you’re interested, check out the Diverse SFFH Review Copy Group Promo. My novel, Change, is featured in this group promo. You can read a short sample of any book in the list before deciding if you want to review it. Since you’re doing this for fun, the sample is a nice way to make sure it’s a book you’ll actually enjoy. StoryOrigin makes the whole process simple for both authors and readers.
Let me know what you think! Even if you don’t pick my book, I’m curious to know how the process goes for you as a reviewer. I hope you find one or more books that you enjoy!
Between the summer heat and the rising COVID-19 rates across the United States, I’ve been eager to spend more time indoors lately.
Reading and writing are two of my favorite ways to pass the time indoors. I’ll have more news about my writing in the next issue of this newsletter. In the meantime, I want to tell you about two great opportunities for summer reading.
The first reading opportunity is my Summer Cli-Fi Sale! All of my ebooks are currently half price. They’re $1.99 in the US and about half price everywhere. The sale ends this weekend, and I rarely put them all on sale at the same time, so don’t miss it. Be sure to tell your friends too!
The second reading opportunity is the Diverse SFFH Review Group Promo! Numerous authors are offering free review copies of their pro-queer, disability-positive, multicultural, and neurodiverse books and stories.
Let me know if you liked hearing about these two great summer reading opportunities! If you have any suggestions for future editions of the newsletter, let me know that too. I love hearing from my readers!
