Here at The Sensual Revolution we are thrilled to be able to start the bi-monthly competition. Many of you will have been brought here from the link on my Facebook Page, but none the less I thought I had better explain a little about what it would mean to win!
We will be offering 5 of these competitions a year omitting Christmas as we have other ideas for that! So competitions will run July/August, September/October, January/February, March/April, May/June. At the end of each year I am hoping to publish a book on Amazon of the winners stories and a short story of my own. This will be a branch off series of The Sensual Revolution called Sensual Revolutionaries. Each of the five winners will have a chance to have their story published in this book. As they will also be awarded the whole copyright to this piece of work they will then also receive 1/6th of the revenues of the royalties made by people buying the book. The full royalties are 70% of the sale price and these payments will be made on a monthly basis after the book has been earning royalties for two months according to Amazon's policy.
I have also heard of a publishing site that will publish individual copies of your book, so everyone will receive a paperback copy of the book with their story in, signed with a personal message from me Kayler Holmes.
There is an entry form you can access from the Competition Page of this site and it has a number of fields to complete. You need to first follow the site with your Google Profile, this will let us know you are a genuine person. Second you need to answer two questions from the book The Sensual Revolution to show that you have joined the Revolution! I then need people to give me the bare bones of a story that they would feature in. This could look like this:
I am Renee Amour and I am 35 years of age. I have three children and a partner that I adore. I am (...)ft high and of a medium build. I am a bit introverted but I love to have fun, but my sensual adventures only happen now with my partner. I really enjoyed the whole recreational scolding experience, I love to be restrained and then punished and about 10 years ago I had the chance to explore this side of my personality. It was just me and (other person's name - preferably an alias) but it has to have been one of the best experiences of my life. I was restrained on his bed, he was scolding me and I loved it. The other person was (male/female), (...) tall and really muscular. He/she had white blond, bright blue eyes and a scar down his shoulder.The thing was it was such an unusual experience, I was a lot more timid then and I thought I was very unattractive so it was such a surprise when this gorgeous hunk of a man came and sat next to me in the nightclub and not only started chatting but continued in the face of my shy terror!
You can include as much detail and information as long as it includes rough descriptions of the people involved and the type of experience you had or dream of. It must be no more than 500 words please. I will then turn the information you have given me into a sexy story of about 5000 words. When that is done I will email you the story which will include the copyright for the story.
If you have ticked the box to allow your story to be featured in the Annual Sensual Revolutionaries Compilation, your story will be published on the 31st of August 2014.
The print copies will be then ordered and dispatched to you as soon as they are ready!
The way Amazon works with the royalty scheme on KDP Direct is that the e-books you sell on there generate a fixed amount of money (although you can offer free promotions). The publisher sets the price of the book and then Amazon add the appropriate tax for the country the book will be available in. The author/authors of the book receive 70% of the book while Amazon keep the remaining 30%. So if the book goes onto Amazon.com at $2.99 for every book sold each author in the book will get $2.99 X 70% = $2.093. This amount is then divided by 6 meaning that each author (myself included) get $0.3488.
Now when you put it like that roughly $0.35 or £0.35 doesn't seem a lot. But... If the book is successful you get that share of every book that sells and that could mean a lot of money. You get royalties from all over the world as well so it is not even just your local Amazon. With all of us promoting the book it should start out with massive exposure and so that may not be out of the realms of possibility.
At the end of each month I will send you copies of the Amazon sales breakdown and a calculation about how much money you will get for that month. Keeping in mind that Amazon do not pay the publisher for the first 60 days from the end of the first month, once that first month is passed you will have your share of the royalties paid into your Paypal account so it is crucial for you to have a Paypal account if you enter!
All of these transactions will be sent to you both electronically and by post so that there is a paper trail to protect all sides of the equation.
SO... just imagine if 3500 people buy it in the first month, what with all the promoting we have been doing about it. That means that in the first month we will each receive $/£1220. As the excitement spreads, in the next month it could be 35,000 people and the month after 350,00 people. I am sure you see the trend here! If everyone promotes and advertises the book so that it is well known, this prize could potentially make some people very happy!
And all you have to do is by the first book in the series The Sensual Revolution, read it, answer two very simple questions based on the book and give me some contact details. The book is currently available on all your regular Amazon sites. It sells in the UK for 1.02 (Gbp), in Europe it is for 1.02 Euros, in the USA is it for 1.57 dollars with the same equivalents in the other countries. So for that tiny expense that you will hardly miss it is possible that you could set yourself up for life. I am making no promises here, I will do everything I can to sell it but I am only one person and you cannot force people to read your books no matter how good they are. As it is about the same price as a lottery ticket, what do you have to lose?
Come and join The Sensual Revolution. Its coming... are you?
