Q: What is the Guild of Adventurers?
A: The Guild is my street team, a collection of some of my biggest fans who volunteer their time to help spread the word about me and my stories.
Q: What do they do?
A: One of the biggest ways that Guild members help me is by sharing and commenting on my posts on Facebook and Twitter. Other Guild members have also had a lot of success by sharing physical copies of books with friends or their local libraries. Some members have even gone to author events and Cons to hang out with me in person and show their support!
Q: What do they get out of it?
A: While being a member of my Adventurers Guild is a voluntary position, there are some perks that come with membership. Every month, each guild member who has done something to help spread the word receives an invitation to a live video hangout with me and their fellow guild members. In addition, all active guild members get a chance to participate in a monthly, online roleplay game that I created in the world of The Beast Hunter's Keltin Moore. Other goodies include free ebooks, behind-the-scenes insights into how my works-in-progress are doing, and first look at concept artwork and book covers.
Q: How do I join?
A: To join the Guild you need to do just two things. First, you need to have read at least one of my books and written an honest review on Amazon. Second, you need to subscribe to my mailing list. Be sure to include a link to your Amazon review when you subscribe. If you've already subscribed to my mailing list and want to join the Guild, you can send your review link to lindsay@lindsayschopfer.com with "Adventurers Guild Applicant" as the subject line. When you’re accepted into the Guild, you’ll be added to the Guild Facebook group as well as the Guild mailing list.
Q: I'm not interested in being in the Guild, but I'd still like to help. What can I do?
A: Some members of my Guild have created a Facebook Group for fans of my stories. There are no expectations or requirements to be a member, and it's a great way to connect with like-minded people without some pesky author always hanging around. ;) I also have a Patreon account for those folks who are interested in making a small, monthly pledge to show their support. Those who pledge can also receive complimentary gifts such as free books and video chats with me to talk about their own writing projects.
Q: What were those links again?
