Hi, Backers, 

We hope to soon post pictures of the printed editions from the printer. In the meantime checkout what came in the mail from the amazing Marie Sann!

Some Backers have not completed the Backerkit Survey.  If you have not done so yet please take the time to do so.  This helps make the fulfillment process run more smoothly.

 

Thanks for your support and patience.

 

Best,

Hello Backers!

 

Per Marie, signed bookplates and sketches are on the way to us in the States! She’s provided a couple shots as well, which we’ll also share.

 

Thanks,

Hello Backers,

 

Just a quick status update! Most progress in book production since the last update has been going back-and-forth with the printer on finer details of book dress, paper weights, bindings, et cetera before the presses are fired up. The airwaves are unfortunately quiet while the work is in progress. We’re currently waiting to hear from them on job updates and the production photos we requested.

 

Where fulfillment on non-book rewards is concerned, we’ve recently gotten bookplates and art boards to Marie in order for her to start on signing and sketching. Once this is complete, they’ll be mailed to us in the US where they’ll be compiled into appropriate bundles for fulfillment. We’re excited to see everything come together!

 

Thanks,

ABLAZE

Hi Backers,

Kinky Karrot: Off The Beaten Path Deluxe Hardcover Edition is now on press in South Korea.

We hope to post photos from the printer when we receive them.

If you haven't filled out your survey please do so. This helps make the fulfillment process run more smoothly.

Thank you for your support.

Best,

Hello Backers!

Checking in for our regular status update. The book has been submitted in its entirety to the printer. We’ve just wrapped up "soft proof" approvals, in which the printer provides the PDF layouts of the book, covers, and slipcases for a final review of contents. This is also the stage where we work with the printer to define precise methods and colors used for things like our cover enhancements, endpapers, etc. This part of the process is always enjoyable, as you really begin to get a feel for the final product! 

After this will be “hard proofs”, where the printer will produce physical copies of book materials for approval before proceeding with the full order. This will be the point at which we’ll be able to provide some photos of the process per our request to the printer. Always a neat little peek into the book production process!

Wishing everyone well as the weather turns, whether you’re warming up or cooling off.

All the best,
ABLAZE
