LitRPG News
I wanted to announce that several LitRPG authors will be attending the Fantasy Book Fest APRIL 17-19, 2020 in Anaheim, CA. The schedule of authors and events is still being formed but it already includes writer and reader panels, including a LitRPG panel. LitRPG Authors attending include: James A. Hunter, Apollos Thorne, Domino Finn, and R.A. Mejia
Amazon killed the preorder for Ruins of Majesta Vol. 2.1. The Author has resubmitted the novel and the book is now live but you likely lost that pre-order so remember to buy it.
Also, to help promote the book, Taj is holding a contest and giving away 5 free copies of book 2. Just post what you liked about book 1 in the comments of the podcast or wherever it’s shared and you’ve entered.
Michael Scott Earle has launched the kickstarter to fund the next novel he is publishing. It only took hours to reach the initial $15K goal to produce an ebook, audiobook, and signed physical copies of the whole series. As is, it has over $44K in support for the project, showing that MSE does not need Amazon to make money. The project has become one of the 'most backed' fiction projects on the platform. Although the $1,000 pledge has been snagged, there is still the $5,500 one that will get you a weekend to hangout with MSE.
