Nevyn here with a not-so-fun update for you, some good news and some bad. The good news is that we got confirmation that the production of Little Wolves books is complete and they're ready to be shipped!
The bad news is that they're not being shipped yet. We've been discussing the unpredictability of customs with our manufacturing partners Print Ninja, and we agree that it's simply not a good idea to put our books on a boat right now.
In case you don't know, tariffs are charged when products arrive at port and they are paid by the importer (us), not by the country who sends the items.
Books, under some classifications, are safe for now (as this is being written), but with rules changing hour by hour we can't risk taking on a massive price hike we could not have imagined when we carefully budgeted for this project last year. There's a possibility that these increasing retaliations might even halt international shipments entirely.
The truth is our hostile and ignorant administration has flamed a trade war with no consideration for harming it's own American-side businesses and industry. We don't have much of a choice but to do what we can to protect the hard work that went into these books.
In spite of these delays I hope you all understand and make time to support small businesses as we weather this storm.
Nevyn here with an extra exciting update: we received the print proofs for Little Wolves and have officially approved full production! This means we're well and truly almost finished with this project (and, yet again, in the extremely fun zone known as "sit and wait").
Here's the current timeline:
3-4 weeks to complete print & binding (estimated to finish the week of April 15th) Then, 6-8 weeks to receive shipment (estimated arrival the week of June 10th)
We're still working on getting the digital version ready, but we're hoping to have that in backers' digital hands soon. We'll send an update once those go out, and then after that updates will be on pause for a bit.
Updates moving forward
Since we're just waiting on the shipment to arrive, the next major update (after backer digital codes go out) will be once the books arrive. From then, we're doing to get our shipping estimates and packing materials, and once we have accurate shipping costs we'll start the countdown to when we charge for shipping and start sending out the goods.
As a reminder, we'll give 3 weeks notice before we charge shipping, and give a reminder each week and the day before we charge. I know doing it this way is a little awkward, but it makes sure nobody's overcharged and keeps us from going into the red on shipping costs.
Once again, thank you all so much. Little Wolves wouldn't be happening without your support, so thank you to the edges of The Enchanted Forest and back!
Greetings & good morning, wolves of the realm! This update is as simple as it is exciting:
We're off to the printers!
Just last week we approved the first round of proofs, and now we're waiting on our print samples! We should have them within the next week or two, and if everything looks good we'll be fully in production :D
Additionally, we're working on getting the digital version ready to release to backers by the end of this month.
That's all for this update! Thank you again for your support, we can't wait to get this book into y'all's hands :) -Nevyn
That's right, wolves of the realm- we're in the final step before ordering prints!
The finished layout is with our incredible editor Tyler Crumrine for final review before we package the documents up and send them to our printer. This also means that the digital versions should be available pretty soon, too! 😉
I'm putting a few more layout teasers/mockups at the bottom of this update for you all~

The end-of-year holidays are always a whirlwind, but rest assured we've been hard at work on Little Wolves. We're at the tail end of layout, so soon enough we'll go through one final editing pass and then the book will be off to the printers!
