Back in April, we told you about fantasy author James A. Owen’s ebook, Drawing Out the Dragons; Owen has recently launched a Kickstarter project to raise funds for a print edition. Owen explains that although the ebook (available in PDF form as well as in formats for mobile devices and ereaders such as the Nook and Kindle) is popular, he has had requests from readers wishing for a hard-copy version to give as a graduation present or just to lend to others. He is also concerned that independent booksellers, who have been very supportive of him and his books, are losing out on sales by not being able to distribute the electronic version of the book.
Drawing Out the Dragons is essentially a print version of the presentation that Owen has given in speaking engagements with many schools and literary groups over the past few years, detailing his career and the events of his life that shaped him, presented in an inspiring and motivational way.
Owen promises a quality product:
The paperback will be on heavy, acid-free, cream colored stock, with illustrated endflaps; and the hardcover will have a dustjacket and specially designed endpapers, where a personal message can be inscribed for the recipient.
