Hi there folks!
Firstly, apologies for the copy/paste nature to this part of the update as we have lots of campaigns to touch on! We just wanted to update everyone and say...
THANK YOU FOR COMING BY OUR BOOTH AND SAYING HELLO. <3
Dragonsteel Nexus was a wonderful experience for all of us - this was our first time vending at this convention and we had no idea what to expect. I think I speak for the whole Wraithmarked crew when I say we were all blown away by the support and love y'all shared with us. We had so many of you come by, tell us where you heard of us from, what campaigns you backed, what you were looking forward to, and lots of folks who had no idea we were gonna be there! We saw some new faces (hello if you late pledged to this campaign!) and chatted with any and everyone. The whole trip was a blast!
Thank you again for making our first Dragonsteel Nexus the best convention we've ever been to!
The Wraithmarked booth! Still setting up, but lookin good!
Bryce signing 'Iron Prince' for a fan and me, dissociating.
Eira signing a copy of her book 'Run Like Hell' for a fan, me chatting (dissociating), and the true hero of the convention: the white sugar-free can in the bottom of the picture. The true savior of Dragonsteel!
Now for a campaign check-in...
We have a couple things to update you folks with! First off, Defier has not only received the tip-ins (signature pages), but he has also begun signing them! This is excellent news! Once he's all set signing those, they'll be packed up and sent back to the printer to be bound within the final print run of the books.
In addition, we've received word from the printer that the proof copies are scheduled to be completed and sent out around mid/late January! We are so stoked to finally be able to see these beauties in person, you have no idea. Worth the wait, for sure!
Soon!
Thank you everyone for tuning in, and we'll see you in the next one!

Hey there everyone!
Following up on our last update, the quote was accepted last week and the proofs will be arriving next! This is awesome news!
In addition to that... the signature pages have been shipped to JF Brink for signing! Also called "tip-ins", these special pages are at the start of every book and feature the author's signature and some fancy art!
That's all for now. Till next time!
A Peek Behind the Curtain: Quote Requests!

Hey all!
We always have folks interested in learning about the process of making some of their favorite books a reality, so today, we wanted to share an aspect that often gets overlooked: quote requests!
A more bureaucratic portion of book-making, quote requests can often take a few weeks of back-and-forth before this stage of production is finalized. Once our intermediary has a page count and all production files are ready, they can then gather the specs for materials, type of printing, quantities, etc., and put together a quote request!
From there, we'll get a quote back in approximately 2-7 days, look it over, and ask for any changes. Once the quote looks good, our intermediary will run the prices past Bryce/Wraithmarked, and we approve it! They then award the job and upload the print files to the printer's FTP.
A schedule for the proofs is then requested, then the printer produces those, sends them our way, and we approve and/or request changes. Once that's settled, we get a better idea of the completion schedule!
As mentioned, a lot of back and forth! We've submitted this quote request not too long ago, so we're just awaiting the printer's response and we can go from there gathering specs for the books!
We hope this update was enlightening for some of you! We'll see you in the next one!
