Starting Small

As promised, here’s the first of the contests for the release of Supercritical, the second 47 Echo novel!

What you do: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go underground. Come up with a creative way to drum up a little buzz about the book (which releases on June 11). You can use Twitter, Facebook, or any online outlet you choose (YouTube, a mobile app — be creative). Point me to what you’ve done online by emailing me at ShawnKupfer@47echo.com. You can also contact me there if you need any information (plot, characters, etc.) from me to implement your idea.

When you do it: Anytime between now and March 31. If you’re running a campaign of some sort, you don’t have to stop on the 31st — you just have to have it started by then.

What you’ll get: The winner, as chosen by our panel, will be the one with what we think is the most creative buzz-builder. Keep in mind it has nothing to do with reach — it has to do with creativity. If you win, you’ll get:

• A free copy of Supercritical on release day
• You’ll need something to read that on, won’t you? Let’s call it a Kindle
• A special, one-of-a-kind 47 Echo promo piece (this one’s a surprise, but it’s seriously cool)
• A character named after you (or any reasonable name you choose) in a hero role in the third 47 Echo book

Go forth. Create.

Oh, and this is only the first round of prizes. There’s more on the way…
