My book! :D by Kippur on 2015-01-14 18:56:00 UTC Reply

So, fellow PPC'rs a few months ago I mentioned that I had a book that the original germ of came from doing things like the PPC.

Well. It's out.

http://www.amazon.com/Tropes-Fantasy-Fiction-Gabrielle-Lissauer/dp/0786478586/ref=sr11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405271459&sr=1-1

Have an overly long link.

Dance in joy.

The PPC - which is mentioned in this book - has now amounted to something beyond the internet!

Congratulations, getting a book published is amazing! Did you do it yourself or through a publisher?

Initially seeing it my brain went to Diana Wynne Jones's "Tough Guide to Fantasyland" but this looks more analytical.

I used the "Tough Guide to Fantasyland" as a reference. But it's through an actual publisher and not self published. McFarland is a well known small press academic publisher.

But it is much more analytical, if at times a bit tongue and cheek. My sense of humor can not be contained.

I did a research project on publishing and those are an oft-overlooked, good option.

I am intrigued! by Fish Custard on 2015-01-16 00:40:00 UTC Reply

I shall see if it's available to buy here in the land of tea and rain and other such stereotypes and buy a copy if so. :)

I know some people who've ordered off the UK Amazon site.

Will there be an e-book version? The print version might be difficult to get a hold of for us non-US residents.

I'm not sure about e-book versions. I think so, but don't quote me on that. I do know it's for sale on the UK amazon site and that my publisher does over-seas sales.

Good on you! Congratulations, and I hope it works out well! (nm) by Cyba Zero on 2015-01-15 09:15:00 UTC Reply

Yay! by Neshomeh on 2015-01-14 21:07:00 UTC Reply

I ordered it a while back, after you originally mentioned it, so hopefully it'll ship soon and you'll get some money. I look forward to reading it! ^_^

~Neshomeh, happy to support fellow PPCers.
