MemeMission #1: Evangelize Sigler & Harwood

April 5, 2008

MemeMission logoWelcome to your first MemeMission, JCH.net readers! “MemeMissions” are designed to jazz you up about cool things cooking in the social media space, and help the creators behind them.

As all MemeMissions will be, this inaugural task is easy-peasy, painless and will evangelize a worthy cause.

Your mission, which you must accept: Blast two sites with goodwill for authors Scott Sigler and Seth Harwood. Both were featured in an excellent San Francisco Chronicle article about podcast noveling, and your actions today will raise mainstream awareness in the brilliant work they’re doing.

Visit the SF Chronicle story, “Take My Book. It’s Free.” Spare a moment to read Chris Cadelago’s authoritative piece, and then add a comment to the story. Sign-up is required, but speedy. By commenting on this article, the story will rise in popularity on the site. The more visible the story is, the more uninitiated readers will see it … which helps spread the Sigler/Harwood message. Go there now and comment!

When you’re done, also “digg” the story, found at Digg.com. This double-whammy will help these trailblazing writers find new a new audience and sell more books … and for an author, that’s about as cool as it gets.

Leave a comment when you’ve accomplished this MemeMission! Publicly show your support for these great creators!

–J.C.

    I think you’ve been spending too much time with Sigler.

    I commented on this article when J.C. tweeted it on twittter a little bit ago. I also just gave it a digg. I think its great that podcast novels have finally got mainstream attention.

    Mission complete.

    Sigler and Harwood pimped, plus a few other names thrown in for good measure.

    Glad to see some proper attention being paid to these guys!

    I included Sigler promos and talked about Infected on my ADDCast and Balticon Podcast shows. I also went to the book store first thing 4/1 and bought my copy of Infected. I posted pictures of me buying my copy at 9:05am Eastern time on Flickr. Of course, I dressed in my Krakens Jersey.

    That same night I attended the reading of Seth Harwood’s Jack Wakes Up in Manhattan.
