So, I’ve made an arrangement with my publisher – and I’m pretty excited. I get to share, with a few of you, my new book – two months before it is available to the public.
I have four galley copies of Holy Curiosity that I can give away this week. Galley copies are the pre-publication manuscript of a book. The galley will have the full text in it’s almost-completely edited form. This is the copy that goes out to various media types and publishing types and sometimes to other writers or celebs w
ho are considering endorsing it. It’s the copy I’m looking at today making final edits.
So, when you get your hands on this little baby, you are truly an insider. It will excite you so much, you are almost certain to levitate.
If you receive a copy, this is what you are agreeing to:
[1] Read through the manuscript by August 15th [2] Post your thoughts on the book here on my blog and on Holy Curiosity’s Facebook group (and on your blog as well, if you have one)In return, you will get to read Holy Curiosity before everyone else – and, best of all, my publisher will send you a free copy of of the book when it releases in October.
If you are interested, then shoot me a quick email by Tuesday night (July 8th @ 12 p.m. EST) answering this question: What intrigues you about exploring the sorts of questions Jesus asked the friends and strangers he encountered?
I will pick 4 entries, and Baker will send you the galley. And then a copy fresh off the presses in October!
[also, here is an endorsement that came in from Leonard Sweet for Holy Curiosity. He was obviously quite generous, and I am very thankful]Winn Collier is one of the few young authors writing today who is as comfortable around Thomas Aquinas as the Simpsons, Soren Kierkegaard as Anne Lamott, Martin Luther as N. T. Wright. With a curiosity that embraces the great and the grating, Collier takes the reader on a joyous journey of discovery: each of us is part of God’s answer to each of Jesus’ questions. {Leonard Sweet}
I hate that I’m just reading this blog. Wish I could have been one of the lucky four! That was a sweet endorsement also! I hope that helps this book get into more hands, as all of your writings have been very helpful to me. Thanks Winn!
Wow, thank you, John. That is really kind.
