Strange New Worlds

[Captain59]

Greetings! Is there any chance there will be another contest? I submitted for two of them and was not selected, but the feedback I received was very useful and quite welcoming. That alone was worth the whole experience. I'd love to do it again.

I doubt it. I think the 2016 one was just a one time thing for the 50th Anniversary, and it ended up kind of a mess anyways so I don't know if we'd really want a repeat of that. The contest ended up a mess, not the book.

That's kind of a bummer, but understandable. Thanks.

I've still not finished Strange New Worlds 2016 because it is a slog to get through.

Was it Kindle only or was there a paper edition ?

Neither

But seriously, it was eBook-only.

Cheers !

I'm pretty sure it was released in all of the e-book formats, not just Kindle. I haven't checked Nook, but I have seen it on Google Play, so I'm pretty sure it's probably there too. If it's on two of them, then it's usually on all three.

Is there an echo in here? How are those two posts adding anything to Jinn's post?

His post already made clear it isn't Kindle-only, but eBook only.

@Relayer1 was making a joke in relation to advertising on the BBC. (given it was him who asked if it was Kindle only)

@JD's, well that doesn't add anything, you're correct there.

As Dimesdan points out, it was a joke (and thanks for the reply) but was probably a bit culturally specific for those outside Britain.

Cheers Dime !

I was trying to point out what the other e-books formats were, just in case they were serious and weren't aware of the different formats.

Not a problem, it was a very culturally specific joke.

Trying being the operative word here.

 

[JD]

Sorry.

Speaking of the different formats, Strange New Worlds 2016 is now available as a DRM-free EPUB through simonandschuster.com, which was not initially the case for some reason. It was initially only available through third-party sellers like Amazon and BN.com. Even my author's copy through S&S required registering an Adobe account for DRM purposes.

That said, it's possible this has been the case for many months and I just didn't notice till now.
