Hi there everybody!
Hope you all are well! Following up on one of our previous updates, the signature pages have officially returned to printer! Michael finished signing a few weeks ago and packed them up nice and pretty. <3
These pages (also called 'tip-ins') will be placed in the final versions of the books!
That's not all - we completely forgot to show you guys the case design for the book! This design is mostly approved (some changes may occur once we get the proof copies sent to us) but we might end up needing to tweak the saturation/shadows/etc. to make sure it pops like we want it to! Take a look!
Case WIP
We hope y'all are doin well wherever you are! Stay tuned for the next one! :)

Hey there folks!
We typically like to share any and all design elements we can along the way, and this one slipped right by us - our apologies! Below we have something exciting: the dust jacket!
We hope you all like these little glimpses behind the curtain as much as we like sharing them!
Short and sweet today - have a great rest of your week, and if you're participating in festivities, be safe and stay warm!

A Quick Check In...

Hey Everyone!
As some of you may be aware, our printer earlier in the year was hacked, causing mass delays in production for many of our campaigns. Even though they're back up and running and production has resumed, we're still playing a bit of catch-up. Our original estimated fulfillment for this campaign was set to be end of October of this year, but it'll likely be getting pushed back at least 2-3 months or so.
We know hearing about delays is never ideal, but we strive to be as transparent as possible with you all. Please take a look at the following links for more info regarding the hack!
That being said, even though we're still a ways off from fulfillment, it's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date! Using the following link, enter the email address that's attached to your Kickstarter account and you should be able to pull your pledge right up!
We'll post a few more reminders like this as we get closer to fulfillment. If you have any questions, please check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We're open Monday-Friday 8am-4pm (excluding US holidays)!
A Peek Inside!

Hey there folks!
As part of redesigning the interior of the book, we also have to design the signature tip-ins for the books. These pages are unique in that they are printed before the rest of the book and shipped to the author for signing. Once they're done, they get shipped back to the printer, and the rest of production can begin.
A week or so ago, we finalized the design of those tip-in pages (shown below). There may be some slight changes as we work to match our designs to the printer's requirements, but all of your signature pages can be expected to look like this!
