Getting to the Good Stuff
Last time we checked in, we let you know that we were just waiting for the Isles of the Emberdark covers to get approved and fully foiled before they moved to the binding stage. Guess what! They are approved, foiled, and are being bound as we speak. They’ll be shipped to us very soon and that means that we’re gearing to start shipping July 1. That’s way ahead of what we initially anticipated. We are SO excited to get these books into your hands (and e-readers… and headphones).
New Secret Project ebooks are going to be distributed at the same time we begin physical New Secret Project reward fulfillment.
The advanced timeline for receiving the books caught both us and Audible by surprise! That means that New Secret Project audiobook rewards may be slightly delayed. Audible has to create codes for each of their distribution regions, so this takes a little extra time. However, we will be distributing them—as well as your MP3 and M4B rewards—as soon as we receive the codes.
And to wrap things up, here’s a sneak preview of the physical rewards so you know what to look out for when your rewards ship!
The New Secret Project—Isles of the Emberdark—rewards are currently in production and scheduled to begin shipping in the early fall of 2025. More information below!
Words of Radiance add-on shipping progress is complete!
Onward to Emberdark
Isles of the Emberdark is at the printer and we have approved the book blocks! What does that mean? In the simplest of terms, the interior pages of the book are done and are just waiting for their covers! Right now, we are doing some quality control on the covers to make sure that the foiling is as gorgeous as we want it to be. We’ll be receiving samples this week to verify that they are up to our premium hardcover standards.
Once we have covers approved and fully foiled, we’ll move to the binding stage. Once the books have been dressed up in the beautiful covers, it will be time for us to ship! We are still on track to get these books to you starting early fall of 2025!
The ebook and audiobook files of Isles of the Emberdark are currently slated for distribution at the same time as the physical hardcovers. As soon as the books begin shipping, we’ll send out links to your digital rewards (if applicable). Keep an eye on our updates for more information on that exact timeline.
To wrap up, we want to leave you with a preview of two items: 1) the Isles of the Emberdark book block, and 2) the sticker to be included in the New Secret Project Box (for backers at the $50, $325, and $650 tier, as well as those who purchased the New Secret Project Box as an add-on). Take a look!
