Thanks for doing this! My book, How To Walk a Dog, is free throughout the weekend. Already over 180 people have downloaded it in various continents.
ReplyDeleteLooking at all the entries, I must say I am very impressed. Time pressure and a challenge sure increase creativity!
I forgot to add a thank you to my comment above. Doing that here. Thank you for kicking my butt into gear on a story that had been wanting to be written, Joe.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Joe, I hope to do this again REAL SOON! Great sense of achievement!

But I now know how to upload my material (that I never think is ready) to amazon. so I want to thank Joe for that and give a huge congratulations to those who completed. Thanks again joe for letting me have fun with my writing - I'm always so critical of myself but with this I went back to the little kid trying to figure out who to give my "book" to (stapled pages with crayon colored cover)
ReplyDeleteAwesome challenge and awesome blog
I had so much fun doing this, picked a genre I'd never worked in children 9-12) and it inspired me to start a 7 book series which will get merged into a bull with an eighth, closing chapter.
ReplyDeleteI would never have tried this without your push. Thank you!!
Wow, what a variety! Though with all the submissions you got back betcha won't make that offer again. Thanks for doing this. I've been laughing all day.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!! The covers alone are (mostly) impressive... and to think the text was written, edited, etc. in that space of time. Boggles the mind.
ReplyDeleteNow, authors, you have to let us know if you sell/give away any. Some of these titles are pretty enticing. And some are... not.
Congrats to all who made the effort!
Oh wow, my book (The Founding of Temin) isn't even on the list yet, and it's already started giving away some copies. I have to say, though, I guess the Children's Short Stories category has some pretty slim pickings if selling one copy (to a friend) and giving away four is enough to get it to #30 on the free list there. XD; I'm almost curious about what'll happen when (if? Man I hope I sent to the right email!) the book gets on the list!

Oh God! You must be smashed Joe. All I can say is thanks the boost to my confidence has been awesome and badly needed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe for the challenge, for posting "Office Games", and for being an inspiration to writers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the work! Most people would have made their excuses and stopped hours ago :).
ReplyDeleteMine's not there, or maybe the email went into a spam bucket somewhere. I'll resend it.
Lol! I think you need an assistant! But thanks again for this challenge, it was buckets of fun, and I think I speak for all of us when I say being featured on your blog, even as "Lattice Stockinette" is pretty darn cool. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe! You have waaay too much time on your hands.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration and for this follow-up, Joe. And I'm impressed, authors.
ReplyDeleteTsunami of Swill: Secret of the Ebook Crapnado by Charles Deckins is free on Amazon through Tuesday, September 3.

Thanks for the inspiration to do something for the sake of it. And thanks for all your hard work putting this post together! You deserve a beer. Or two. Maybe three. Definitely three.
ReplyDeleteJoe, you are an inspiration! I downloaded a bunch of books because, like others, I'm curious to see what someone can do in 8 hours. I didn't make it in time for the challenge blog post, but I know I will! Who knows...might be a good exercise for my writers group. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your efforts and hard work in helping new authors realize their potential. The 8 hour challenge was just the kick in the pants that many of us needed.
Much appreciation to you for spending the whole day uploading the links to all the winners of that challenge. I'm sure a great number of these authors will be publishing many new works in the future. All thanks to you.
Good luck to all the authors with your new projects! Now go out there and do some bragging! It is well deserved.
…and if you are so inclined, check out my book and leave a review. I'm looking forward to feedback. ;)

Joe, I definitely owe you a few drinks for doing all this extra work if we ever meet in RL. Thanks!
ReplyDelete(My donfirmation is 61 winedine. LOL)
I downloaded all of the free ones (I'm broke and Amazon is not cool on the whole 'pay you Tuesday' thing). I just finished "So You Think You're in Love" and laughed out loud. Funny! Looking forward to working my way through the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks! SUCH a fun project!
ReplyDeleteJoe, Thank you so much. These titles and author names are fantastic fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for posting "Puppy Love on a Budget" for me. Tally Wags
Free 8/31 too. And currently #3 in Dogs category. :D
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteI've reached No. 1 in my Amazon categories!
Over 300 units downloaded during the free period which is due to end soon.
Colour me excited!
Thank you to all for your support!

ReplyDeleteThanks! You have shifted things for a lot of people - yet again. And to sort the monster publishing admin blog on top...you are a total star!
So, everyone, you did it once and many books are going free over this weekend/into Monday. Shouldn't you be writing and publishing a sequel (free, or not free?) asap, ideally to catch the wave...?
Come on...another 140+ ?
best to all - most especially Joe!
PJR
Thank you so much, Joe - this was a ton of fun and a real inspiration. And you're a trooper for putting up all those books with covers and everything, it must have taken ages to put this post together. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've ever made a story free on Amazon, too, and this morning I'm ranked at #507 Free in Kindle Store. Very cool.
For anyone who's going through the list to pick up some new reads this weekend, Confessions of a Courtesan will remain free up until September 3rd! amzn.com/B00ESO2MFU
To paraphrase Skeeter Davis, "I'm a reader, not a writer. I kinda like it that way . . ." What a great way to find the work of writers I haven't read before. I'm going to download and read as many as I can. I hope my Kindle is up to the task. Good job everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Konrath. Thank you for putting my book on your site. When I woke up today there were balloons on my computer saying great job because you are showing people my book. I am the luckiest 12 year old in the world!
ReplyDeleteLove, MK Brattican.
PS My Grandma says hello.
Wow. Thanks for doing this. It was fun, but it has also given me some ideas for short books to write in the future.
ReplyDeleteI just bought most of the free books (if that makes sense) and I shared each purchase on Facebook to support the many authors who participated and wrote their little hearts out!
ReplyDeleteI am sooo looking forward to being entertained, scared, taught, and whatever else all of you may do to me!
If anyone is interested in exposure, please feel free to contact me via email and I will read your book and feature you on my blog.
Thanks, everyone! :)
Thanks, Joe! (Misty White here.) I needed that kick in the pants, to remind me that efficiency IS possible. Appreciated. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis probably goes without saying, but thanks for the exposure and the challenge! It was fun...a lot of fun and it forced me to go places I wouldn't normally go with my writing. It doesn't hurt that my book has also broken the top 50 (#31) in humor and #67 in romantic comedy. Who knew I could write romantic comedy? :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me the kick in the pants to actually break down and actually learn to format an ebook for Amazon (up to this point, I was just doing Smashwords).
ReplyDeleteDownloaded and enjoying reading many. Good job all, especially Joe. You da' man!
ReplyDeleteI'll be proud to be amongst you if Amazon ever releases CARJACK KIDNAP out of "Draft Mode". Story about how K9 detective solves mystery of a missing endangered child.
Looked at many titles to see how y'all categorized them, a key success element. So much to know, so little time to learn it!
From incomplete research here's what I found. Congrats to those climbing the ratings ladder.
• Walking Dogs #1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Crafts, Hobbies & Home > Animal Care & Pets > Dogs > Training
• Puppy Love on a Budget #2 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Crafts, Hobbies & Home > Animal Care & Pets > Dogs > Training
• Love, War and a Bulldog (Bloodlines #5.5) #71 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Action & Adventure
• Killing Time #9 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Mystery & Thrillers > Mystery > Police Procedurals
• The Millennial's Guide to Office Life: 20 Apparently Necessary Tips #4 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Business & Investing > Careers > Guides
• INSPIRED! Fast, Easy, Healthy Recipes Inspired by the World's Best Chefs #6 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Cookbooks, Food & Wine > Quick & Easy and #7 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Cookbooks, Food & Wine > Special Diet > Healthy
Why? Is it because of the Free? Cover? Topic? Category? We may never know for sure.
In the Konrath spirit of sharing, it would be nice to know some revenues derived from these specific titles after 1 mo, 2 mo.
If authors emailed this in, $$s as of Oct 1, Nov 1 we might learn something (realizing there are multiple variables affecting sales $$$.)
Joe - Before you partake of strong adult beverages and utter *&^@#** at me for this suggestion, (more hrs of work) I would be happy to set up an email addy just for this and compile a spreadsheet for us by titles. Maybe we only publish the top 25-50 earning titles )to protect the egos of us in the bottom 150.
We've all learned so much from your willingness to help us, Joe, by sharing wisdom you've gained and blogged.
If yes, I'll email you with a plan.
Your forever grateful disciple...Jeff Ezell
I downloaded a boatload of these and plan to post reviews on Amazon as I get them read. Writing and publishing "Raging Against the Machine" in under 4 hours confirmed something I have long know intellectually but have a hard time putting into practice: my writing is a lot better if a turn off my internal editor and just let the words flow, then worry about polishing later. Imposing a strict time limit on the first draft works wonders.
ReplyDeleteI sold approximately 11 copies before the free period. 656 people have downloaded free copies so far. There are still a few days yet of the free period.
ReplyDeleteOne person left a lovely review! My story is currently #724 free in the Kindle Store, #4 free in Gay Romance. Yesterday it reached #3 at one point.
Thank you to everyone who downloaded! http://www.amazon.com/Keeper-sweet-gay-romance-ebook/dp/B00ERBKBYI/
Personally, I would love to see someone make a forum or site for this to become a monthly challenge. I think we'd continue to learn and grow as writers.
It's just a thought. I'm not quite brave enough to volunteer!! :)
Hollis Shiloh...I would love to do a blog like that! I emailed Joe asking for his blessing. I'm hoping to hear from him. :)
ReplyDelete~Patty McPhatty~
I want to add my thanks to Joe for doing this. You've created a monster. :) I have no less than six ideas swimming in my head for similar challenges. I might even try to do this at least once a month. Maybe make it a 24 hour challenge so I can get more research done first.
ReplyDeleteI want to also put the challenge to my writing group and see how many of them are up to it.
Wendy Bridal's book - Wedding Dress Shopping - A day of "fun" is still free until midnight PST tonight.
Currently it is
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Crafts, Hobbies & Home > Weddings
And it was #6 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Health, Fitness & Dieting > Relationships > Marriage
Hey Hollis and everyone else. I received Joe's blessing and started a blog for everyone to do this again! Yayy!! Check it out here...

After reading some nice stuff in your article I really feel speechless, because it is quit pretty article. Beside this it is also a long lasting article. Thanks for giving me such type of useful information.. e-book writing
ReplyDeleteJoe, without this nudge, I would never have published my first book. It was fun to write a memoir piece: Mom, Star Trek and Las Vegas. http://tinyurl.com/MomStarTrek
ReplyDeleteNow I want to do another one. Thank you for reminding us all about that passion. Diana Hirsch
