Dissected Trailer & Fundraising Campaign

First of all, let me give you the cute Monday Monkey.

Now, I'm very excited to announce that I finished the book trailer for Dissected. So, without further ado, here it is. Let me know what you think.

 

Okay, I think I've already mentioned this, but I've started an Indiegogo page to raise some funds to publish Dissected. I'm really not asking for much, just enough to get me started. Find the campaign here. You'll get "perks" for donating, such as SWAG packs and signed books. So you don't get a double dose if info, I'll let you go to the page to see the why's of going indie and the summary of Dissected.

If you can't contribute, it would be awesome if you'd just share the link.

Have a happy Monday. Mine's been pretty shitty so far, but it's looking up.

Tooting the Horn Tuesday: Music, Trailers, and Other Cool Things

The Less Deceived

So,  many of you saw the video that I did for the mishmash contest, right?  I created a trailer for my novel, Never Eighteen.  Well, after the contest, we were supposed to destroy all of the pics, video, and songs off of our computer, never to be used again (without paying).  I redid the video, which can be seen here, but it just wasn't the same without that beautiful song.  

So, I scoured the net for the guys who did the song.  I could only find them on myspace, as of yet, they are unsigned, etc, etc.  I decided to write them:

I would REALLY like to use this song in a book trailer I'm creating, but alas, I'm a poor writer and all I could offer you is credit on the video which would be placed on youtube and facebook.
Any chance you'll let me?  It's a beautiful song and catches the mood of my novel perfectly.
BTW my novel is being released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Fall, 2011.

  

This is what I received back from them:

Hello Megan,
sorry for the late reply. Of course you are more than welcome to use the song. Would be great if you could credit the song as The Less Deceived - Love's Labour's Lost and also provide a link to our website: http://www.thelessdeceived.com/
We'd also be very happy to receive a copy of your novel, of course!:)
Let me know if you need an mp3 of the song and where to send it.
Good luck and best wishes,
The Less Deceived

Needless to say, I'm ecstatic!!! Here is their own video for the song.  I'll post my book trailer once it's redone.

 

Thanks for reading.

Peace out,

Rollercoaster Ride

Yes, this is my life at the moment.  Ups and downs, constantly going, sometimes upside down, topsy turvy.  So, as you know, the Class of 2k11 has officially launched.  This is a wonderful group of YA and MG writers all slated for a 2011 release.  We're going to be giving away prizes and getting together for some in person events.

I've turned in my revisions to my editor, now it goes to editorial and marketing and I may be seeing a book cover soon.  Maybe.  Or not.  We're hoping for ARC's in spring.  So, everything is still a ways off.

I will have my own website soon.  meganbosticbooks.com. (remember when I blogged that someone already had my name >:( ) It's being created as we speak.  So look for more news on that later.

Also going into the book trailer business if anyone is interested.  I did one for my friend Gae, which can be seen on my Facebook page.  So if you know any authors interested in this service, give them my name.  :)

And I've started a new novel, titled, Taking Zoey.  I got stuck on Withered, so I put it aside.  I will write it, I just needed something to get me going, and this new novel is doing that.

So that's what I've got going on at the moment.  What have you been up to?
