The Indelible Indie-ish Inkshares

Catchy mouthful of a title, right? Well, sit back and grab a beverage (or snack) of your choice because I am going to tell you a story...

Once upon a time there was a website named Inkshares. Now, for fictional purposes, we are going to imagine several things.
Thing number one: Inkshares wanted to be different.
Thing number two: Inkshares wanted to help people.
Thing number three: Inkshares wanted to be awesome.

Dear readers, I can assure you that all three things are true. Inkshares is different, helps people, and most importantly...is very awesome. Now here is why in some quite technical, non-fairytale words..

Inkshares allows readers to choose which work they want published. If you like a story, you pre-order it and help that story grow to reach a pre-order goal. If you really, really, really like the story, you tell other people about it and get them to pre-order it so you can one day hold that story in your hands (or in your e-reader of choice). And most of all, you make a writer very, very happy by enabling them to reach a goal and get published.

Isn't that a happy story?


Okay, quaint and quirky aside, here's the rundown of Inkshares.
- Writers set a crowdfunding goal for their work
- Writers ask people to help them with that goal
- The people who helped ask others to help
- Inkshares uses the pre-order money (people are only charged if a project reaches its goal) to make the writer's work into something most awesome, pretty, and then present it to the world as we know it through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Books-A-Million, and many, many more


If you liked this story (and you like me! *insert tooth-sparkling grin*) and you want to read my work in a shiny paperback form (or e-reader of your choice) then would you please use this link and help me on my pre-order goal? It's as easy as 1-2-3-4...

1 - sign into Inkshares https://www.inkshares.com/ (sign in window is the same as creating an account)

2 - search for my book "Scribbles: A Collection of Words" and follow it (Or use this link: https://www.inkshares.com/projects/sc... )

3 - check your email (you should have two emails saying you have $5 in credits each)

4 - You can pre-order a copy of my book using the free credits given you.

Optional 5 - Put Scribbles: A Collection of Words on your to-read shelf!

The End
