Here's where hopefully you can help us out a little. Trying to get a novel published these days is a long, arduous (not to mention debilitatingly demoralizing) process - unless you happen to be amazingly lucky, like Christopher Paolini. We, it seems, are not so blessed. We're sending out chapters to publishers, but in the meantime, we're going to pay a company to print and bind a few versions of the book, then sell those copies to - you guessed it - you! The problem with this plan is that in order to get the books printed, we need money. We're both slowly trying to put money away, but student loans and other bills unfortunately have to come first. This being the case, we're going to try something a little out of the ordinary. If you want to purchase a digital copy of the novel in .PDF format (chapter illustrations and all), we're making that option available. ALL proceeds from these sales will go directly into a business account we already have set up, and will go towards self-publishing.
