Join the squad!

Posted byscottatirrellPosted inWriting journey

As mentioned in prior posts, I am diligently working on Book 1 of my Tocharian Gospels series, the Slaying of the Bull. The four-book series is going to be quite the endeavor comprised of roughly 1,500 pages of text and covering 780 years. The saga will transcend into other planes of existence and will cross genres. Generally, it should be a good read.

It is an ambitious project, and I’ll need your help! The Island of Stone was my first self-published eBook, and I’m learning a lot. When publishing an eBook, you are not just the writer but also the publisher, and you have to focus on things other than just the art. I’ve been studying, and I’ve made some mistakes putting Island of Stone out there. I was excited and probably rushed its launch. With the Tocharian Gospel Saga being such a significant endeavor comprised of multiple books, I want to make sure I do everything right this next round.

One of the critical aspects of “doing things right” is pulling together a Launch Squad. It sounds like some sort of superhero group, and in many ways it is. Members of the Squad will have first access to my new books before they’re launched (entirely for free). Their task? Just to read them and provide me feedback before they’re unleashed onto the world. No prerequisites required. Also, although not mandatory, it is encouraged that members of the squad produce a short Amazon review to help give the book a gentle nudge forward. In exchange for feedback and help, I will list you in the acknowledgment section of the book and provide members of the Squad with a free signed paperback copy of the work.

If you are interested in joining the Squad, send me a message here. The first ten or so people that reach out can join the Squad and become an integral part of my work.

Cheers!

Scott Austin Tirrell writes dark fantasy because apparently the real world doesn't contain enough dead people, ruined faiths, and gods with questionable motives. Most of his stories take place in Lucardia, a world with a long memory and a rather serious problem with its dead. Its people have been taught many comforting things about history, religion, power, and what happens when the reaper’s sickle swings. Unfortunately, much of it is wrong. Scott is less interested in heroes than in complicated people who stumble into mysteries they probably should have left alone—and then have to live with what they find. When he isn’t writing, Scott wanders old cemeteries in search of character names and thinks about fictional people as though they have personally inconvenienced him. He lives near Boston with his wife and maintains a healthy distrust of ravens.
