“Gifts of the Giraffe” now avilable

May9

Better late than never.

Gifts of the Giraffe, an e-book compilation of the December 2011 Giraffe Call, is now available in pdf.

(If you have a good program you have used for converting to epub, please let me know).

If you donated to the December 2011 or January 2012 Giraffe Call (if you don’t remember, and I don’t fault you that, I have records), or if you have donated $50 or more to Giraffe Calls in the time between then and now, this .pdf is free for the asking.

If you have not donated, it is available for $1.33.

Links, and then a few more links: E-books & Business

IdeaTrash: the Business of Writing – a good all-purpose article on said topic.

And Killer Chicks on E-book stats (via R.S. Bohn)
And more, from Jim Hines, via Eseme

HaikuJaguar’s open letter to Smashwords, a must-read

HaikuJaguar again, a page of writing links.

This is a fraction of my e-publishing links, but they seem to go together well. Thanks, [personal profile] eseme, et al!

Drakeathon Writing Done!

Mar7

And that is the last of the prompts given from the Drakeathon, written!

(My parents donated and have not prompted, but everything I’ve actually gotten a prompt for has been written).

All together in a document, it’s just under 14,000 words, 27 pages of 8.5×11 with no intros and little formatting. I plan to add to this a couple already-written things, where the prompt was “please continue this story.”

Next step(s): editing and formatting for the e-book. I know at least one story needs polishing – Lost Princess of Paradisia. I’ll have to read through again to see about the rest of them.
