No Investment
We have decided that for this very first book, we will be doing things differently. In light of what is happening around the world with the Coronavirus, we have made a heartfelt decision to
waive the investment of $497 to open this opportunity up to even more women who have so much to share. We believe that our world needs so much hope right now and this is one way that we can support our sisters around the world right now. It also gives us something else to focus on while we are all at home looking after ourselves and our families. We are all in the same situation and we want to be able to support you and our future readers to heal.
We hope that you will find that this is a welcomed change for you also and that it is of some support to you.
Another bit of information for you to be aware of is that our intention at Carnelian Moon Publishing is that we always donate a percentage of any income from our anthologies to charity organizations. On this occasion, we will be selecting organizations that support all those who have been keeping our world moving like emergency services, medical personnel, and other groups, which we will be sharing more as we move forward with this particular project.
As we have waived the investment, the only requirement that we are asking of you is that you agree to sell 10 copies of the book as part of our pre-order campaign. There are a number of professionals that we will be using throughout this project (and all other book projects) like:
- a book cover designer to design a head turning cover,
- a developmental editor to enhance your stories and ensure that there is a flow throughout the book with all the authors,
- an interior book designer to format the interior of the book and ensure that it fits the usual book layout standards for all platforms like print and eBook.
As we will be funding the cost of all these services up front, we would appreciate if you agree to sell 10 books (by pre-order). The cost of the book will be under $15US. We find that most of our co-authors purchase this number of copies for family members and friends and for themselves and hope that this would be agreeable to you also.
If you would be happy to agree to this and you are still interested in being a part of Messages to My Younger Self, please continue reading.
