readers often ask ‘whats the best way to support an author?’ and while there are MANY ways to do this, the most powerful is clear: PREORDER THE AUTHORS BOOK. i will go into why, but first please consider taking the briefest moment to preorder FABULOUS BODIES
preorders are the launching pad that determines nearly everything about a books trajectory, so while it is nice to make a mental note of ‘oh i will buy that one when it comes out’ PLEASE try to break this habit if you care about supporting authors. it only takes seconds to walk the walk in this way
traditionally publishing a book takes a LONG TIME because everything (from how much shelf space the title take ups, to how many ads to run, to how much touring will happen) is determined by how much interest the publisher believes there is, which in turn is determined by, YOU GUESSED IT, preorders
so my challenge to buckaroo readers who share constant news about dying creative industries, who repost stories about AI harming the arts, who lament the loss of genuine human creativity, JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO ACTUALLY PREORDER SOMETHING FROM A HUMAN ARTIST THAT YOU LIKE
i am here with my book FABULOUS BODIES, but maybe some other author has shared this post and youd like to preorder something from them. either way, during preorders the MULTIPLIERS FOR YOUR EFFORT AS A READER TO SUPPORT AN ARTIST ARE HUGE, so lets put this rare timeline moment to use, buckaroos
PREORDER FABULOUS BODIES BY CHUCK TINGLE HERE. OUT JULY 7TH:
