The Great Absolute Write Spec Fiction Anthology!

[SaraP]

Just bought my copy on Amazon.

 

[The Resurrectionist]

How many copies have we sold now? : D

 

[MacAllister]

It's a total of either 53 or 57 copies. But the Createspace database date-range search apparently doesn't actually work, so it's hard to tell for sure.

The good news is, we're not dealing with copies in the thousands...which would make those numbers matter a LOT more.

 

[zanzjan]

Out of curiosity, did you send a copy off to Locus, or whatever their sub-for-review procedure is?

 

[areteus]

Give me time to get a copy and I will do a review as well... and I may be able to get one on Starburst...

 

[DragonHeart]

Any chance it'll be available as an ebook at Barnes & Noble at some point? If not I don't mind grabbing the Kindle version; it's mostly for the sake of convenience since I buy the majority of my ebooks from B&N.

Mac was talking about a PDF version at one point. I'm not sure what happened with it, though.

Yes, it will, but Amazon's Kindle Select requires an exclusive 90 day period.

However, I am going to need users with Nooks to test the book. Please PM me if you'd be willing to beta test the Nook version.

Anyone received their contributor copies yet? I've got a space on my bookshelf ready!

 

[DeleyanLee]

Not as of Saturday.

 

[Chris1981]

I bought my Kindle copy the day it was available--and finished reading it a few days later.

Good, good stuff all around.

 

[jazzman99]

I ordered a couple of copies, though I'm also expecting a contributor copy eventually. It's a very impressive volume, certainly the best anthology I've yet been part of!

 

[Alessandra Kelley]

Out of curiosity, did you send a copy off to Locus, or whatever their sub-for-review procedure is?

Hmm, yes. Is anyone in charge of sending out review copies? Or should we take it upon ourselves?

 

[MacAllister]

I've got review copies covered, folks -- if there's someplace you especially want to send one, because you're familiar with the blog or what-have-you, just drop me a note to let me know!

I've not yet sent out contributor copies -- I wanted to upload the final file correction, first. I'll post here the day they go out.

I'll talk to some contacts... (well, contact... a friend of mine writes for Starburst ) and let you know.

I'll likely buy a copy as soon as I can and do my own review for epublishabook (it technically counts as it is sort of self published... hell, I've stretched the definition a lot already so one more stretch won't hurt )

Oh! Right! I spotted a couple of (very small) typos. Will drop you an email after I get the sprogs settled for the night.

I bought a copy on my kindle last weekend.

 

[The Resurrectionist]

Any word on the contributors' copies and/or pay yet?

*Grins in anticipation of Lovely Book*

 

[Anghara]

Any word on the contributors' copies and/or pay yet?

I, uh, haven't received a contrib copy yet, but I DID get paid... and quite a while ago, too...

 

[MacAllister]

I have a few more checks to send, folks -- and we're making corrections as they come in. I expect to have it all wrapped up and contributors copies ordered by the first.

 

[night-flyer]

I haven't been able to afford the book, yet. I might be able to get the kindle version, though. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and checking out the artwork.

 

[Sai]

I sent a copy of the book to a very good friend of mine who is a pretty well-read sci-fi/fantasy fan. She said she liked the anthology a lot, and I told her there are a lot of authors here who would love some feedback. So, being the sweetheart that she is, she took the time to write up a couple of sentences about each story. If you're an author in Absolute Visions and just want to hear a random reader's take on your piece, PM me.

 

[DeleyanLee]

Odd question--will the contrib copies count towards the total sales?

My mind's being weird today.

 

[Alessandra Kelley]

I posted my art for the antho on my website galleries. I haven't said anything really profound about it, but it's here:

As a newcomer to Absolute Write, I offer my congratulations to all who contributed to this project.

Could I suggest, though, that the original post be edited with an update on the publication and appropriate links to purchase it? The thread has 100+ pages and it was a bit of a challenge for this first-time visitor to even find the anthology's name.

Is a sequel being considered?
