I have some news...

There is going to be a month-long sale for Cry, Voidbringer starting TOMORROW.

Here's why that matters: Our pre-sale campaign is a large part of our marketing plan for the book. We want to push the book hard during these eight months before launch so that it has very strong numbers right off the bat. That will help us to get it into more bookstores, qualify it for some awards, maybe even get onto a best seller list or two. All of this helps to not only push the book further, but help prepare Elaine's future books for success. Because our marketing of this book is not solely about the success of this book. We also want to champion Elaine well and set her up for a long and successful career.

A successful pre-sale campaign helps us do all of that.

Which is why this long sale is a GREAT opportunity for us to go HARD. We will have 36 days where we can push the book for 15% off, which gives us plenty of time to try to hit that 1,000 pre-sales months early! So I plan to do a weekly day of action, where as many of our community members as possible talk about the book and push our link all at once. We are gonna take over bookish spaces weekly during this sale and see what kind of impact we can have!

HERE ARE THE DETAILS:

• Cry, Voidbringer will be 15% at Bookshop.org with discount code: lovebooksellers

• The sale lasts from March 18th through April 22nd

I am asking that if you have social media of any kind, you post about Cry, Voidbringer tomorrow and then every tuesday through April 22nd.

Here are some short summaries you can use if you don't want to summarize the book yourself:

• Cry, Voidbringer is an anarchist dark fantasy that challenges readers to wrestle with the cost of complicity in the face of tyranny and systemic injustice.

• Cry, Voidbringer is an anarchist story about powerful women who are fighting to resist tyranny, both from the colonial empire they are at war with, and the ruler who oppresses them in the name of her own liberation.

• Cry, Voidbringer is an anarchist dark fantasy about a conscripted warrior who was taken from her home and raised to be a soldier in someone else's war against a colonial empire. Now, decades later, she is being asked to train a child who has been gifted by the gods with supernatural power to become a weapon for that same army. A task she has no intention of honoring. But resistance means choosing between either fighting to reform a broken and corrupt system that never had her freedom in mind, or burning it all to the ground and seeing what rises from the ashes.
