ORGANIZING YOUR BOOK LAUNCH

 While M Presents will do the heavy lifting for its clients, it's good for everyone to have a basic understanding of the publishing process to avoid any delay that might come your way. If you're prepared, you can avoid some common things that will slow or might even hinder your ability to release your book at your expected time.  You MIGHT think everything from your book files to your website are ready to go; but even the most prepared authors hit unexpected snags. Sometimes we can prevent them, and sometimes they're out of our control.

The Trump administration is undoing 250 years of freedom of expression in the arts and humanities, freedom from government using the arts for propaganda. It is doing it by fiat, through a series of unconstitutional executive orders usurp...

 Coming soon on Kictstarter is my first full-fledged RolePlaying Game, SCP:0. I'm not going to post too many details just yet, just know that it should start before the end of the month. The game utilizes the Year:0 engine (hence the name) and fits snuggly in the horror genre. Aside from the core rule book, backers can pick up game modules. Here's a sort of preview of the prices and what's included: $5 Thank You includes a massive “thanks” on our website and the book page on DriveThruRPG  $10 Digital PDF delivered via DriveThruRPG includes PDF of the core rulebook  $15 Digital Bundle delivered via DriveThruRPG includes PDF Core Book and PDF of three scenarios $25 Physical Core Rulebook delivered via DriveThruRPG $35 Physical Bundle delivered via DriveThruRPG includes Physical Core Rulebook and Physical scenarios  I'm still working on all of the details and I'm working on a video to include both on the Kickstarter page and on YouTube so nothing is final.
