Wickeeeed Leo can’t wait man. It’s awesome to see successful bloggers and podiobookers (like Scott Sigler: PLUG!!) getting the recognition that they deserve from “mainstream” media. Can’t wait to preorder it.

Congrats, Leo!

I’ve enjoyed reading you in pixel form and can’t wait to read you in print. As a former print designer, there’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh ink on paper. :)

Hey Leo, would it not be a superb excercise of Zen and simplicity to tell us some of the details of your book contract? Oh! I mean, everyone here is celebrating your success. I am too. And it was YOU who announced to the world that you go a booki deal. It would not be unprecedented for you to reveal some facts about your book deal. Quite often the details of book deals are announced in the mainstream media. For example, it was announced that author Ricard Paul Evans got $4.25 million for his first book, which was titled “The Christmas Box.” The advance Hillary Clinton got for her autobiography was also widely reported on in the mainstream media. So, if you would care to share some details, we your fans would be interested. For example, how many copies is your publisher going to print initially? What sort of royalty per book will you get? Are you going to be paid an advance? How long do you get to complete the book? How much will you publisher be spending on promoting your book, if anything? How many pages long is your book required to be? How can we your students learn about publishing if you won’t teach us? Why shouldn’t you share with us? Your readers and fans made your book deal possible in the first place, right, in a certain sense?
