AH Anthology

[Guest]

Several things, anthologiers:

1. I have created an ARC (advance review copy) file that can be sent to review sites. It is an 11Mb PDF file (due to the illustrations). Those who are picking up the promotion baton can e-mail me at impressive@eroticanthology.com and I'll send it. {Please keep track of where it's sent.}

2. What do y'all think about making Coming Together available: (a) on CD; and/or (b) for download? Both would still be through CafePress. {Lou -- could you work your magic on a cover image for the CD?}

3. How many folks would be interested in participating in a book signing at The Tool Shed in Milwaukee on the afternoon of November 12th?


Thanks, y'all.

I'll get onto that later this evening, Imp.

Any colour preference, anyone, for the tinted overlay for Volume 2, while I think of it? Red? Green? Yellow/gold? Purple? Let me choose? Take a vote?

Lou

We'll eventually go through all of 'em. I've no preference in terms of order.

 

[Dar~]

if we are making it with vol. 1 I think it should be the same colour as the book.

I think CD and download are good ideas. We'll sell more copies, receive more money for out charity and get our work out to a larger audience.

Sorry, unless I win the lottery, there's no way for me to get to Milwaukee.

Okie, cool, I'll pick a nice shade of something or other.

Dar, yes, I meant for Volume 2.

Imp, I think the idea of having it available for CD and downloads is a very good idea. Anything which broadens the potential readership has gotta be good!

Sorry, been out of the loop again. This time, visiting my nephew and his wife and my new baby great-niece (who is, of course, the most wonderful baby in the world . . . )

I'm all for the CD and download options. As has already been said, more for the charity. As for Milwaukee, not a chance! Even if I could afford it, which I can't, I won't fly!

I may've spoken too soon about the option of downloading from CafePress, but we can certainly do the CD ... and once I get a circular image from Lou, I'll make some BUTTONS, too!

Some housekeeping: We've now earned over $50 in commissions. I've decided (since I'm also using the domain for an e-mail address for my new Phaze pseudonym -- alessia@eroticanthology.com ) that I'm going to donate the cost of the domain, so the earnings are ALL profit at this point.

In addition, and this was news to me, we earn matching "CafeCash" which can be used in the store. I'd like everyone's permission to use this "bonus" to order as many copies of the book (or CD) as possible to be sold at the November book signing.

As for the CD's price ... what say y'all? The base price is $5.99 -- so there's room for a juicy mark up.

Aha! I need to do an actual CD lable? I thought it was for a CD case. Of course! D'oh, my mistake!!! Ok, that's very cool.

Yep, you most definitely have my permission, to purchase copies for the book siging. Plough profits back in, that's what I say.

As for the price, is $9.99 to much of a mark-up?

Yeah -- for printing ON the CD. (There's a template that can be downloaded.)

$9.99 sounds great to me!

Now, a little glitch -- CafePress only allows free accounts to have one of a product active at any one time. Thus, when volume 2 is released, volume 1 will have to come down.

One solution to this problem is to simply create another free CafePress store (under the same account) for each volume. No problem, really, since we'll be linking to the actual product from the main www.eroticanthology.com domain. Sound good?

Yeah, I had a blonde moment. Yup, I've downloaded the template, cheers! I have also downloaded the template for a jewel case and booklet for the CD's, but I dunno... do you intend to use those options?

I think that's a very good solution to the problem. Go for it!

Didn't know those were available ... but if you wanna produce the whole kit 'n kaboodle, please do! If they drive up the price, we'll have to weigh the benefits against the cost.

EDIT: If you do the jacket, let's add rhino's image on the inner sleeve! I can e-mail you the highest-res version that I have.

Ok, will do!

YES! Brilliant idea. Cool, thanks.

Hey, Imp.

I have no problem with using profits for using the bonus for free copies. Gets the word spread around.

 

[impressive]

The Tool Shed just confirmed. It's a go!

 

[sophia jane]

The Tool Shed just confirmed. It's a go!

Assuming I can pay for the ticket, I'll be there.

Several things, anthologiers:

1. I have created an ARC (advance review copy) file that can be sent to review sites. It is an 11Mb PDF file (due to the illustrations). Those who are picking up the promotion baton can e-mail me at impressive@eroticanthology.com and I'll send it. {Please keep track of where it's sent.}

2. What do y'all think about making Coming Together available: (a) on CD; and/or (b) for download? Both would still be through CafePress. {Lou -- could you work your magic on a cover image for the CD?}

I'll have a copy of that promotion thingy - email on it's way. I'm going to pick up the baton on seeing if we can get reviewed in magazines and paper publications; anyone who's going to do that as well should drop me an e-mail to make sure we're not both approaching the same places.

2 - If we are making a CD, I would be more than happy, nay, ecstatic, to read my story aloud. Sounds like a fantastic idea.

I wasn't thinking audio, love. Just an eBook.

 

[Sunnie]

I wasn't thinking audio, love. Just an eBook.

Although that isn't a bad idea, having an audio. Books-on-tape (or CD) are pretty popular especially for people who travel a lot.

Probably a lot of work, though.

I'd be more than happy to read any or all of the stories aloud if needed. I personally think it's a top idea, even if we're not entirely sure who came up with it .

About These Submissions...

I'm concerned about the stories that are still in the unvetted group. The list doesn't seem to have gone down. I have read several of them and some of them I have sent you (Impressive) PMs recommending them, and the ones that needed editing, I communicated with the authors. I CAN'T DO IT ALL MYSELF, PEEPS! There are some good stories in there. (Including mine, if I do say so myself.) Let's do right by 'em!
