ECOTONES - the 2015 SFFWorld anthology is coming soon!

[Andrew LH]

The fourth annual SFFWorld anthology will be available in just under two months. We've a great selection of stories from forum members and invited guests, all with an environmental, ecological aspect to them, and as you can see we have some big names on the cover:

We'll be running a Kickstarter campaign during November in order to get copies out to as many readers as possible - this and our three previous anthologies will be available at discounted prices, with proceeds going to recoup costs and, hopefully, pay our contributors a bigger fee!

You can find out more information here, including sound-bite story synopses, mini-author bios, website links and more. We're also on Twitter and Facebook, so please follow (and/or spread the word!) and keep your eyes peeled for an imminent Kickstarter announcement...

The Ecotones Kickstarter campaign just went live!

We hope you'll take advantage of the cheapness. This book is going for £3/£4 (which is more or less $5/6), but we're also bundling it up with the previous three anthologies and offering other rewards to backers, so there's plenty of bargains attached.

Just participated in my first kickstarter. Pleasantly surprised to find it both straightforward and painless.

Astonishingly, to me at least, this could also describe the process of setting one up, a few details excepted.

Just in case you're interested, we've managed to pass 40% of our primary total in less than a week - and there are still plenty of great exclusive rewards available...

We're at 50% funded! Woohoo!

 

[N. E. White]

70% funded and a Staff Pick!

 

[Andrew LH]

We're now just under 80% raised with six days to go! The clock is ticking...

There are still a few copies of Ecotones available at the steepest discount, not to mention bundles containing all three previous SFFWorld ebook anthologies -- but whether you are tempted or not, any help forum members could give us with circulating the word online would be great.

We have a Twitter account (@Ecotones_Ebook) if you're a tweeter, and we've been using the hashtag #Ecotones to keep track of any interest there. The Kickstarter page is here (or you could use the short link j.mp/Ecotones-KS if you want to save precious characters).

A big chunk of our backers have come via Twitter, Facebook and people just blogging, so anything like that would be much appreciated!

 

[Andrew LH]

We've had a spike - a 9% jump in the last five hours! We only need £22 more to hit our target...

52 hours remain to back us!

 

[Andrew LH]

...and that minimum target has now been met. Backers are now officially putting their money into a sure thing: if you want Ecotones for less than the release date price, you know where to go!

 

[N. E. White]

It's at 129%!

Let's reach that first stretch goal!!!

Tweet, share on Facebook, blog about it, please please please.
