Have one on us for Halloween
Have one on us - #Free #Kindle #ebook for #Halloween download 29 Oct - 2 Nov http://mybook.to/theaxeandgrindstone Don’t scream. Whatever you do. Don’t scream.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the book store...
IMAGINE sitting in your car, minding your own business, crawling toward a roundabout, your only concern being not to bump into the car in front that should have gone six times already. Suddenly, a long-haired tattooed creature bangs on your window demanding to know one thing:
‘Are you a publisher?’
That is the unlikely starting place of a publishing revolution, for this was the day that Zion (the long-haired tattooed creature) and Vikki (his partner-in-crime with just as much hair and even more tatts) stalked Iain and Pat, who were just trying to get on with their day. It was their fault. On the back of the Iain and Patmobile was an advert for Iain’s latest book release, another in his popular line of biker thrillers. Zion spotted this and, next thing you know, was breaking their peace by bashing on their window. A bit more stalking around Tescos followed before a slightly more formal meeting where everyone probed the others’ intentions and book-based dreams.
Fast-forward through all the boring stuff and, here it is, the fruits of those (now somewhat expanded) book-based dreams, BAD PRESS iNK.
You can find out a bit more about the misfits behind this new take on the publishing world below. If you have gotten this far without throwing your monitor / phone / tablet across the room, you had better sign up for our newsletter. And if you are an author thinking that this place would be an ideal home for your precious manuscript, we have a submissions process which you can follow just by hitting the correct button. If you need more instruction than that, GET AWAY FROM THE INTERNET NOW, lest you break it.
(OK, just one tip: Pat and Vikki are the gatekeepers here at BAD PRESS iNK. They will be the first to read your synopsis, sample chapter or manuscript. They have slightly different tastes so, swot up on their likes and, if one stands out as the person most likely to get lady-wood for your masterpiece, mention that when you submit.)
