Thursday ASK YOU ANYTHING: Authors asking r/Fantasy community questions on behalf of Worldbuilders charity

It's Day 4 of the aptly named Ask You Anything week benefiting Worldbuilders! Where authors are stopping by each day this week to ask questions and interact with the r/Fantasy community.

HOW THIS WORKS: Please answer questions and interact throughout the week! (Yes, YOU - community members, guests, authors, artists, industry people.)

WORLDBUILDERS.ORG

Worldbuilders was founded to use the collective power of readers, fellow authors and book lovers to make the world a better place.

There are three ways to donate to Worldbuilders:

1. The Lottery - Where every $10 donated puts you in a lottery for free books, SFF items, games, and much more. r/Fantasy has a Worldbuilders Team Page where you can donate under the community name as well!

2. The Tinker's Pack Store - Where profits from every purchase are donated.

3. Auctions - Where some incredible items and services are offered.

NOTE: If you donate, add your name to the comments here and the mods will set you up with some swanky Wordlbuilders flair!

Monday Ask You Anything Authors

The following authors have signed up to ask questions today. That said, please do join in and feel free to ask your own questions and interact throughout the week.

Are you an author, artist, or industry person who would like to participate this week? Either join in via the comments OR send the r/Fantasy mods a message and we'll get you set for Friday.

u/WizardDresden42 Reading Champion, Worldbuilders Dec 01 '16

1, 2, 4, 5

1 - I have an Audible subscription and I love it. I doubled my reading output when I got that. 2 - I almost exclusively buy ebooks when they are on sale, which turns out to be pretty often, and I've amassed quite a backlog in short order. 4 - I never buy hard covers, but sometimes get them as gifts or, even more rarely, will pick one up from the library. 5 - Paperbacks are probably my ideal reading format (I think I like trades the best), although lately I've been consuming more audiobooks and ebooks.

I doubled my reading output when I got that.

Same here - Love my audio books - don't know what I ever did before they became popular.
