The Method Writers on Kickstarter
In a recent update, I had discussed The Method Writers, a group novel that my mastermind writers group, The Rogues Gallery Writers, have 
been working on for the past year now. We've recently finished our first round of edits and are working toward our final edit and then publication.
Being a unique concept that we believe has a lot of potential, The Method Writers deserves to be packaged and promoted properly. Unfortunately, this can be expensive. It requires funds that your average starving writer does not possess. So we found out about a service called Kickstarter, which allows creative projects of all types to be presented with the purpose of collecting donations, or funding, so that the creator(s) can complete their vision and put the finished product out there for the world to enjoy. The nice thing about the Kickstarter program is that all projects are required to give back rewards to all those who donate. So the pledges receive something in return for their donations.
The Rogues Gallery Writers have recently launched The Method Writers on Kickstarter, and we need your help. Please visit the link below, watch our mockumentary, read about our project, and look at the exciting rewards we'll be giving to our various donation levels. If you are as excited about our novel as we think you will be, please consider making a donation. Anything, even a dollar will help us to be a successfully funded Kickstarter project. We have 30 days left to reach our goal, so please spread the word: The Method Writers Kickstarter Project

What's Going On...
Friday, 05 August 2011 13:46 | Author: Jeff Swesky |
I'm a bit late in getting my website updated with this information, but the 2nd Edition of Flight From Fear is now available in print and can be ordered from my bookstore, www.FlightFromFear.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books A Million. Soon, it will also be available on Kindle and other e-book formats. Updates with Flight, including information on book signings and events, will be updated more frequently on www.FlightFromFear.com. In addition, the website will soon have the opening chapter available for reading, as well as other interesting information related to Rabbi Cywiak's amazing memoir and the Holocaust in general. Another project that I'm very passionate and excited about is the Rogues Gallery Writers' new project, and our first group novel, called The Method Writers. We've just completed the 1st draft of our manuscript, and I gotta tell you, it's been one amazing collaboration and I expect that you'll find it to be one heck of a read. Soon we plan to have a full website, fan page, and youtube account oozing with information about The Method Writers. But for now, you can view some of our teasers at: http://themethodwriters.wordpress.com/. Thanks, as always, for all of the love and support, Jeff Last Updated (Friday, 05 August 2011 14:08) "Flight From Fear," 2nd Edition

I'm working to prepare the Flight From Fear 2nd Edition manuscript for printing. We're almost out of 1st edition copies, but there's still time to place an order. Once we've sold out, I'll remove the option to purchase from my bookstore, and set up the 2nd Edition for preorder. The 2nd Edition books should be ready by the first or second week in May 2011. Thanks to all of you who have purchased the book, and thanks for all of the flattering feedback! :) Jeff

Update on the 2nd Edition
Thursday, 30 June 2011 15:35 | Author: Jeff Swesky |
Not uncommon in the world of publishing, there have been a few delays with the production of the 2nd Edition of "Flight From Fear." However, the final proof was approved on June 28th and the printing will begin soon!!! Copies should be delivered to me by mid-July, if not sooner. If you don't feel like waiting that long, or you live outside the area, this new, and definitive, edition of Rabbi Cywiak's award-winning Holocaust memoir will be available through most online retailers, such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, within the next day or two. So you could potentially receive a copy of the book before I do. I will be announcing book signing events as we get them scheduled, as well as other news related to this highly anticipated 2nd edition. Thank you for all of your support!!!
