Kickstart Lightweight 2: A little help from our friends...

The Lightweight Kickstarter continues apace, albeit at a bit slower speed than I would like. As I said before, momentum means a lot for Kickstarters. If we are to reach our stretch goals and unlock more books, that means more support than it currently has. But with three weeks still ahead, the project has a lot of life to go.

This time around I wanted to focus some attention on some folks that have helped spread the word about Lightweight!

• eSpec Books, a small press publisher responsible for The Side of Good / The Side of Evil, now in its final few hours on Kickstarter.


• Purveyor of great books and Kickstarter publishing pioneers Silence in the Library Publishing.


• Iowan comic creator Noah "Ox" Baas, creator of I Never Forgot!

Check all those folks out and don't forget to head over to Kickstarter and give Lightweight: Beyond your support!

Kickstart the Week 23: The Side of Good/The Side of Evil

Super powered fiction is clearly a growing field in publishing. Multiple young adult series every year now cover the field, independent authors are finding ways to live off the wages of their own series and even smaller publishers now see the light of making their own anthologies of super powered fiction.



The Side of Good/The Side of Evil from eSpec books fits the bill perfectly. A growing small press, eSpec has gathered a great list of recognizable sci fi and comic authors headlined by folks like Peter David, Janine Spendlove and Gail Z. Martin. The flipbook format on the print edition gives you a clear separation between stories following the forces of good and the forces of evil... as well as a snazzy second cover.

Check out The Side of Good/The Side of Evil on Kickstarter today.
