Science fiction grandmaster John C. Wright announces an exciting and timely new project.
It is TIME for a CHANGE!
I am pleased and proud to announce the onset of a long-awaited campaign to quit my dayjob, take up my pen, light it on fire, and ignite the slumbering spirit of fandom.
As of this day, the campaign to Make Outer Space Great Again begins, and you can be part of it.
I calculate I produce a novel every sixty days, starting with the pulp material I have previously published in serial format on this site, and then later branching out to other works.
I am particularly eager to finish the first volume of STARQUEST which is my answer to the disappointed and ruination a certain Mouse has visited on a long loved favorite franchise we all know and love.
On Freestartr, a website blessedly free from Big Brother and devoted to absolute freedom of speech, we begin the first of two funding drives.
This first seeks monthly contributions to pay the monthly mortgage and buy a cup of coffee, so I can have a roof overhead and a cup of joe in hand while typing like a mad mantis to delight the souls and enrich the lives of my beloved readers.
The second will concentrate on getting the basics together for STARQUEST, cover art and such, and it will be a one time deal.
Here is the pitch:
The Pulp Revolt starts here! You have nothing to lose but your yawns!
Goal: to fund SF Grandmaster John C Wright penning 6 books year, and make space great again!
This is a John C. Wright fork of Star Wars. You know what to do.
And while you’re waiting for Starquest, pick up my own thrilling space adventure series, the award-winning Soul Cycle. Buy within the next two days and get all four eBooks for less than six bucks!

And what he's published so far is chemically pure space at its finest.
I'll buy the series and savour it for the feast it is

John C Wright's use of the term "Pulp Revolt" amuses me more than it probably should.
I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
YES!! I frigging love this man's work!
It is in pure self-interest that I am supporting this.
I want my Mad Scientist's Intern and Ghostly Father's Novice!
I simply do not have the funds to support all the great writers out there right now. This can mean only one thing:
MUST. EARN. MOAR. MONEY.
P.S. Backed.
… and thus we witness the true power of capitalism to lift all boats.
Yup. A true meritocracy where customers have agency and buy what pleases them as well as what they need.
I'm so glad that the internet has introduced us to such wonderful talent that otherwise would've disappeared under the tradpub matrix

That's the spirit!
