From forty-five talented and prolific DreamWorks Studio Art Directors, Character Designers, Production Designers and Visual Development Artists comes the first title of its kind in which an Animation studio creates a book showcasing the art work that its artists create for the sake of creation.
Moonshine features artwork that is made during the precious little time of day when the contributors are not working on stunning upcoming movies such as Puss in Boots, The Croods, Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom, Megamind, Guardians, Scared Shrekless and Kung Fu Panda Holiday; these artists amaze us with their individualistically styled images that they create after dark at DreamWorks Studios.
Get it on Amazon:
MOONSHINE: DREAMWORKS ARTISTS…AFTER DARK!
Guardians sounds very interesting! I would love to check it out.
Karen- I didn't see your tweet about doing this. :(
Kimi- I am also interested in podcasting. (Heck, I'm interested in all promotional things) In general do you know how many people are listening and what has been the response so far? Does it really translate into significant book sales? I ask because there are so many pod casts and it seems at least that few people really tune in or subscribe. What is your take on that?

Can't imagine why more authors didn't pick up on your offer, Karen, unless, like me, they're bogged down with other projects and can't squeeze out the time for even one more interview or blog. Or perhaps they just didn't catch the message as it sailed by. I'll go back and retweet....

Hey Nick! Podcasting your novel is becoming a terrific way to get noticed by publishers. Many of the people who are doing so are amassing fans and then being able to prove with the numbers that agents/editors can take a chance on them.
Even people who don't get book deals find themselves able to do Print on Demand and make some cash.
Personally I think with enough perseverance even if you don't get a book deal from the first one if you keep producing someone will pick you up.
Right now I have 200 people who have been waiting for the book to start. For an unknown author and for not having any content to go on those are staggering numbers of people willing to give someone new a chance. Then numbers will only rise from here. :)
The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to be willing to find promotion for yourself to get people to come and listen. ;)
I hope you enjoy the book and I'd love to answer more questions or hear comments.
I sent in a DM but didn't get a response. Figured you were booked up already. Oh well!
Like Nick said, I'll bet a lot of Twitter folks just plain didn't see the tweet when it got posted.

Hey Karen
I didn't see your tweet either - I ask this same question because I offer free promo ops on a regular basis. I figure you can't make people cooperate :) But I would've contacted you if I'd seen your tweet. Speaking of promo ops - did you get my email about GirlForce VBT? Would love to have you host that on PopSyndicate :)

You posted about free promotion?? I didn't see it. :(
