pbrayYesterday afternoon the kickstarter crossed the 10K mark, which means Zombies Need Brains LLC's first anthology project CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE: STEAMPUNK vs ALIENS is a go!
We have two weeks left in the kickstarter, which means you still have a chance to preorder your copy. Any funds raised over the 10K threshold will be used to increase the payouts to the authors*, and improve the quality of the printed books (such as adding embossing, etc.). If we reach 20K we'll be offering a limited run hardcover edition.
We're totally psyched about this project. Steampunk and aliens, together at last! A collection of outstanding authors have already committed to the project: Bradley Beaulieu, Caitlin Kittredge, Gini Koch, Scott Lynch, Gail Z. Martin, Seanan McGuire, and Ian Tregillis, and we've invited a select group of extremely talented authors to submit stories to fill the remaining slots.
Visit our Kickstarter page here to learn more, and to preorder your copy. And be sure to check out the gorgeous cover art by Alex Broeckel.
* We're paying the authors 5 cents a word, which is a standard professional rate. For every 2.5K raised over the 10K, we'll be bumping it up.
