Just received this - tfw you hear about your own giveaway via e-mail blast. 

So I'd been talking with SMP about how we can do Patreon exclusive stuff leading up to the release, but owing to Patreon's rules, I can't really do giveaways on Patreon, and here's why: Anything that might resemble gambling (in this case, effectively, paying a Patreon fee to enter a raffle) is against Patreon's rules. So even though I wanted to do a Patreon-based giveaway, I... can't.

Keeping within Patreon's rules, we can't offer ARCs as a perk (because those are not meant for sale, just for review, and are "uncorrected" regardless), and offering a finished book as a new tier perk just seems unfeasible since it would be a one-time reward and just doesn't make sense vis a vis Patreon's monthly model. 

But here's what I can do, I *can* let you know that Goodreads or other external platforms are doing a giveaway, which is incredibly lame, I know! Also, incredibly lame, it's only for people in the US and Canada! Unfortunately, if I don't want to break Patreon's TOS, this might be the best I can do before July. Anyway, here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/304467-axiom-s-end

There will be more in the coming months, so I'll go ahead and post those here when they happen. Good luck, Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

It has a different publisher for the UK, which has caused all sorts of issues. I'll have to ask the UK publisher if they're doing anything differently.

Kristian Kück

Unfortunately it didn't work in Germany neither :/

Scott DePouw

That sounds like a topic for a follow-up to your Publisher video! "Publishing internationally." Sounds like its own headache/can of worms.

Doesn't work for Italy, predictably! Oh, well, I've already preordered it so it's not big deal!

Lindsay Ellis

I have a lot more to learn about it tbh - St. Martin's bought "world English" rights, which they sold in the UK (and I believe the rest of the commonwealth, except Canada?) to Titan, but foreign rights have not yet been sold, so! Maybe I should get to work on that.

FYI for anybody just now signing up to Goodreads for this - If you add the book to your 'To-Read' shelf you can have Goodreads send you a notification email anytime a giveaway for it goes up on their site. I'm not sure what the default setting is, but you can find the setting under the 'Emails' portion of Account Settings.

Sam

Ah yes, the Universal Greeting. Hail and well met, comrade!

James Anthony

I've seen others make a similar comment about giveaways on Patreon. But if the giveaway was on a public post, wouldn't that bypass the "gambling" restriction?

Johannes König

Would be great if you could make another one for Europe. (But trans-atlanic shipping is quite expensive and international publishing rules complicated, so I kinda understand if not. )
