What’s Going On Here?
The Action Faction is the greatest group of readers in known space! They are supporting my serialized fiction on this site and they are on the front lines with us making a difference in our campaign to put a new book in every school in the country! But our project isn’t just limited to my books. If you’re a middle grade or YA author, join the fight!
We’re building a new community of authors and readers that is immune to social media, bots, slop and webviews. We’re going direct to readers without being taxed into oblivion by big tech rent-seekers. We have a bot-proof, tracking-proof humans-only infrastructure that doesn’t rely on overpriced CPC ads or decorating other people’s web sites for free.
We’re the homesteaders of publishing. We build on our own land.
My name is Shane Lochlann Black. I have two million words in print, I’ve been live on the web since 1995 and I’ve been programming computers for fifty years. I am big tech’s worst nightmare. And I’ve invented a marketing program that goes where no bot can follow…
What’s Different About This Campaign?
- As middle-grade and YA authors we have a unique advantage: gatekeepers buy our books, not readers
- Our catalogs will physically land in mailboxes and on desks across the USA for 8c each per title. They can’t be deleted by email providers.
- Recipients can access your books directly. No big tech interference.
- We’re reaching people who can recommend books to dozens or hundreds of families: teachers, librarians, youth pastors, homeschool parents and bookstores
- No duplicates – each campaign reaches new addresses.
- People will still be looking at our books and mailers a year from now.
What Else Do You Offer?
- We have a private message board where we can talk shop without moderator or platform agendas.
- Each of our newsletters and videos includes the “Sitrep” segment with updates on our progress.
- Jumpline.click may soon offer humans-only keyword navigation for our participating authors.
- We will show you how to do handshake marketing and keep more of what you earn.
- Tools, resources and advice on how to write, edit, illustrate and produce better books are available.
