Mistborn Reads
« on: June 24, 2004, 11:49:32 PM »
All right, the new book is revised and spellchecked, and I'm going to need readers.  This thread is specifically for Ookla and Stacer, to whom I'd like to send electronic copies if they have time to give me a read.

As I've said before, I need to be careful with electronic copies of my books, especially since I'm finally publishing.  If you've read for me before, you're invited to do so again.   If you haven't read from me before, I could probably be persuaded, but it shouldn't be TOO long before a physical copy gets released.

If you're in the Provo/Orem area, I'd still prefer you to read the paper copy--both to keep down on electronic copies, and because it's much easier for me to deal with your comments when they're grouped with those of other people.

So, if you're outside the area and want to give me an electronic read, post here and tell me what email address to use.  Be sure you've got enough space in that account for a one-meg file.  I'll include a second document zipped with the actual book; it will give an explanation of the kinds of criticism I'm looking for.

Thanks, all.  I appreciate it.

I'd love to too. If this is the one that parallels people from the board.

Stacer:  It's off.

Gemm:  I suppose I'll should send it to you, since your dialect inspired one of the characters.  Just promise me you won't post it anywhere or forward it to anyone else, okay?  

I'll send to the email you have on your profile.  Let me know if you need it somewhere else.

I could read the new version. I could read it while I'm at work this weekend. Electric or Print will do.

What timetable are you on for this?  I'd like to read it, but July is pretty busy.

Either way, you could send it to me and I'll read as much as I can:  robisonwells at msn dot com

Personally, I would love to read it, however, you DO hardley know me so I don't expect you to just up and hand me a peice of your financial security.  But if, for some reason, you feel like getting the perspective of a younger audience, I would be all but delighted to read a copy.

Oh, go on then.

The last book is still sitting in 'My Documents' on my pc, which is not shared on the p2p program i use. It'sa safe, mario-san.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

42, I'll get you a paper copy.


The rest of you, check your email boxes.  You should have a present waiting for you.

First one doesn't come out until May, I'm afraid, TFO.  However, when it does, you'll be able to find it on the shelves everywhere.
