Really excited to read this. Any plans for an ebook version? I just went to order it but the shipping costs more than the book πŸ₯²

No plans at the moment - there are some administrative issues that make that difficult

The index of authors is insane: here's the index of authors in full. Each person was asked to write a short piece about one specific thing they care about. The result is a book about EVERYTHING. (And it's affordable, < $20 paperback)

(and yes, you should subscribe, we've got some incredible people lined up for the first few months already.) Overall - the Kaleidoscope aims to: - highlight the craft of writing, not the games that result - platform the people who do the work - elevate and inspire other writers

(Oh, btw, as a thankyou for reading the thread, the printers have a 10% discount code right now, BCORP10, which you can use at the checkout.)

Just listened to the intro & 1st episode. What an incredible idea for a book -- letting people write about whatever they think is important and trusting that it'll work out and not be duplicative! I'm so excited to get my copy and read all of the perspectives!

Do you have the table of contents posted anywhere? It would be nice to see the chapter titles as well as the authors, to get a better sense of the range of topics covered.

I'm in almost the same boat, want a copy so much but shipping in Canada is almost as much as the book itself. And that's for Canada Post? I can't justify $50 in my budget right now, but will put it on my birthday list!

Apologies. The shipping costs seem to have ballooned recently everywhere - it's definitely been more affordable in the past.

It's a bit odd tbh; the whole point of Lulu is they ship from inside the target country
