Special Holiday Editing Offer!
Well, hello there person (presumably) who is reading this post! Congratulations on clicking here. You won’t regret it. Or you might, honestly, I have no idea what you’re expecting right now. If you want nude pics, you’ll have to wait until next Tuesday’s post, so just hold it in your pants until then. However, if you wanted an awesome editing special only for the holiday season, then you’ve come to the right place!
Anyway, I’ve officially lost my mind.
Starting right now, and ending December 31, I will be offering edits of full novels (100,000 words or less) for a flat rate of $100. Now, is $100 a lot of cash for something like this?
Hardly. Take a look at my normal rates.
Typically, I charge over $100 just to edit a story over 5,000 words. Right now, I’ll be editing NOVELS for only $100. This is basically like if you were to go to Sonic and order a bacon cheeseburger, and not only does the little redheaded bimbo come rollerblading out with your food, but she’s also completely naked, and she’s offering free cocaine.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
PROBABLY SO!
So it’d be wise to take advantage of this offer before I realize what the hell I’m doing! Act fast, too, because I’m only offering this deal to five people, and then it’s gone.
And if you’re wondering if you can trust me with the whole “editing” thing, I’d suggest taking a look at the latest review of the anthology I recently edited, Zombie Jesus & Other True Stories.
So, still interested? Email me at madd_maxxx3@yahoo.com. Remember, you have until the end of December, and there are only five spots open right now, which I expect to fill up before the deadline.
EDIT – 2/5 SPOTS LEFT
Updates (01/21/12)
First, in case you missed it, I got the pleasure to interview Cracked.com columnist, John Cheese, on the DMD blog a few weeks back. If you haven’t been following his column, then you’re truly missing out. Click here for the interview.
Secondly, I am currently editing an upcoming anthology for Dark Moon Books called Zombie Jesus and Other True Stories. The theme is alternate history horror, and yes, it is a paying market ($20 and a contributor’s copy). Click here for the rest of the information. It will be the first of three planned anthologies of 2012 that I will be editing along with writers Stan Swanson and Lori Michelle. Calls for submissions for the other two will be announced soon.
I’ve been working on writing The Ultimate Survival for Humanity: How To Survive Attacks From Zombies, Vampires, Ex-Lovers & Other Scary Things as of late, and it is coming together nicely. In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, this is a book I am co-authoring with Stan Swanson that will surely rock your socks off; it is scheduled to be published Summer 2012 by Dark Moon Books, so I am really kicking my ass to get this finished. Not to mention that at the moment I am also in the middle of writing a novel (about 25,000 words in it so far), a graphic novel, and a book of flash fiction. And other projects as they come up, I’m sure.
Hopefully the writing doesn’t get put too much on the backburner seeing as I was just hired full-time over at everyone’s favorite store, Walmart, as an overnight stocker. I doubt it does; actually, I think it will probably get me writing even more. It seems that the more free time someone has, the less productive they end up being. So this will be a good thing all around (especially the whole actually having money factor).
2012 is looking like a great year for writing, too. I already have three accepted tales so far, and that’s half of the number of acceptances I got last year, so yeah, things are definitely looking up. The three accepted tales being in the upcoming Dark Moon Digest Issue Number 7, an unnamed horror western anthology edited by Eric S. Brown, and the charity flash fiction book, Slices of Flesh, which also will be featuring perhaps one of the best horror writers in the game today, Jack Ketchum.
So that’s what’s going on there.
Now to end this post on a creepy note.
Today myself and the aforementioned Lori Michelle were visiting a flea market. Nothing unusual about that, people visit flea markets all the time, right? Of course they do. I even managed to get a sweet ass 1941 first printing of a Robert Louis Stevenson collection.
But then we found the heads.
The baby heads.
Sweet screams.
