Dear readers,
I need blurbs for the Think Weirder Volume 1 website, and I'm willing to bribe you with copies of Think Weirder Volume 2 to achieve this.
Here's the deal:
If you've read at least part of Think Weirder Volume 1, enjoyed it, and are willing to post something about it on social media, I'll send you a beautiful new physical copy of Volume 2 when it releases in October. That's it. That's the whole arrangement. I'm collecting blurbs for thinkweirder.com, and if yours is sufficiently enthusiastic, I'll link to it from there, immortalizing your literary opinion forever.
This offer ends Friday, Jan 9. Every single person who posts something before then gets a book. I cannot stress enough how low the bar is here. To claim your prize:
- Post your blurb about Think Weirder: The Year's Best Science Fiction Ideas on the social media platform of your choice
- Email me a link to the blurb, along with the address you want your book sent
- Wait patiently until OCTOBER when the new book releases and I ship it to you
If you've never written a blurb before, I recommend studying the master, Gary Shteyngart, who has blurbed approximately everything ever printed. A helpful archive exists at https://www.tumblr.com/shteyngartblurbs
In his words: "No hyperbole can be hyperbolic enough."
I look forward to being bankrupted by this terrible plan, thank you so much for your support.
Joe
