Make Sinesol A Reality
Donation protected
**This is NOT an all-or-nothing campaign, so every little bit helps. I am using this for LONG TERM funding. See below for informaton on the goal!**
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jeremy Collier. I have been writing my whole life, from my first stories that were just retellings of whatever video game I had been playing all the way up to my current series of books set in the world known as Sinesol.
What Does Sinesol Mean?
On a large scale, Sinesol is the universe that I have created. Even though I am only on the verge of publishing the first story in that universe, called Burden, the timeline spans thousands of years.
On a smaller scale, and in the contexts of the book, Sinesol is the name of the planet that most (if not all) of the stories will take place.
What Is Sinesol?
Imagine a planet that's sun has been all but destroyed and tiny particles have dropped into the planets atmosphere. A chemical reaction occurs and a new element is born, sundust. Soon after, the people of the planet learned that this new element had not only reacted to the oxygen in the air, but with everything around them. Sundust connects every aspect of the planet together and a new science was born, called Channeling.
The majority of the people living on Sinesol can't do much with channeling, but those that are strong can build walls taller than mountains, cause a person to stop in their tracks, or even create fire out of nothing.
This is the premises that the Sinesol Universe builds on.
Why Am I Asking For That Amount of Money?
I'm not asking you to help me get a single book published, I'm asking for help to jumpstart a series of short stories, novellas, and novels that will span countless books across thousands of years.
As of right now, I have 3 short stories, 1 novella, a 3 book series, a 2 book series, and a stand alone novel planned. That's a lot of writing, editing, and cover art that needs to get done!
As you will see in the milestones below, I have it currently set at $1000, but that will raise as we reach major goals.
Where Does My Donation Go?
Every penny I receive will go directly into creating covers and allowing me to get professional editing for whichever story I'm currently working on.
As of this moment, donations will go towards one of three projects I'm currently working on; Sinesol: Burden Episode 1, Sinesol: The Planet Without A Sun, or Sinesol: Revelations Book 1.
Milestones
Think of milestones as goals within the overall goal I've set above. All of these milestones will help me work towards making a career in writing possible. As of right now, I've only created the first one, but know that I am working on more behind the scenes and will post them as I get closer!
Also, once a milestone is unlocked, it will also unlock more rewards for those who have donated! Exactly what those rewards are, I am still working out, but I'll send out an update as soon as I have come up with them. Also the amount for the milestones are subject to change depending on quotes, comission rates, and other factors.
UNLOCKED! - Milestone #1 ($50) Create an amazing cover for Burden Episode 1
Here is one of the main reasons I'm starting this, cover art. My short story Burden is the first of my writings to be published and it should be SOON, and I really need a cover, but they cost A LOT! Thanks to a friend, I comissioned a piece of art for about $50, and that's what the first $50 will go to!
LOCKED - Milestone #2 ($150) Create an amazing cover for The Planet Without A Sun
Just like the first milestone, cover art is important and with another $50-$100 bucks I can do just that for The Planet Without A Sun.
LOCKED - Milestone #3 ($400) Create an amazing cover for Revelations Book 1
Alright, this is a big one. Revelations is the first full novel I am coming out with and it deserves an amazing cover! If I can afford it (with your help!) I want to comission the full cover, without me having to do ANY of the work! So this isn't just for cover art, but a fully made cover!
LOCKED - Milestone #4 ($1000) Make Steam Powered Dreams a Reality
Steam Powered Dreams is the name of the publishing imprint I am starting with my writing partner, Andrew Couch. By hitting $1000, I will be using a portion of the donations into making Steam Powered Dreams come to live in the form of a website and more!
