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!

Hey Everyone!
Today, we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone how you can access your pledge.

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)!
Another Look Inside!

Hey all!
Checking in to share with you another piece of production! As with our last update, this time we get another sneak peak behind the curtain from our designer, STK Kreations!
The full jacket design! Still technically a WIP but mostly done!
Take a look - above is the design for the dust jacket! There may be a few minor tweaks here and there, but for the most part, this is the completed design! The colors look so gooood! And we've got one more design element to share with you guys...
Name a better color palette, we'll wait.
Ta-daaa! The art above will be used for the case design for this book! With both of these design elements out of the way, we're one step closer to the end of production!
Stay tuned for the next one!
A Look Inside! And an update on shipping!

Hey there folks!
Hope you all are well! We just wanted to take a second to update you guys on some new art inside the book! Take a look!
Everyone 'oooh' and 'ahhh'!
STK Kreations knocks another one outta the park! He was kind enough to take a break to share a bit of the design process - a nice little sneak peek at the chapter headers!
That's all for now, folks! Heather signing off - handing it over to Bryce!
An update on shipping.
Hey all, Bryce here! We're moving forward and design elements and final production processes, but we also wanted to let you know that a delay in shipping is very likely at this point, and you have our apologies for that. Now that we're back on the train, however, we are putting in a lot of changes in place to minimize the likelihood of this ever happening again! That hack followed by the delay due to the quality testing really took some wind out of our sails.
