Project Update: Update! (finally!)
First off, an apology -- I opened this page to update and found that my last update had been written but not actually published. /facepalm/ I'm so sorry, and I never meant to leave you hanging! So here's the updated update.
My plan, barring unexpected issues, is to receive the physical books in early to mid July. I am waiting on one file delivery which I need to finalize production, and for three days I've checking my inbox about every 20 minutes to see if it's happened yet. As soon as I get that, I'll push the button and start the countdown.
The enamel pins were delayed in production, but I hope to have them safely in hand by July as well, and they should be even better than I'd hoped, with new UV printing. I have everything else in hand and ready to go. That means fulfillment!
Audiobooks will be delivered later, as real human audiobook production takes time, but all audio backers will receive their ebooks first with all ebook deliveries.
I'm sure you've heard already from many campaigns about struggles with the tariffs and the ever-shifting cost changes, with significant changes in production costs and delivery, so I won't repeat them here. Please know that I've worked hard to make 2024 margins and budgets work without affecting backers. Several people have asked about additional tariff charges or increased shipping rates, and I really don't want to do either. But if anyone likes, picking up some extra ebooks or audiobooks at checkout is a great way to get something for yourself while helping to make up the difference, and thank you for asking!
Now, surveys are coming soon. They have not yet gone out because I'm double-checking some shipping charges questions with Backerkit, and I don't want anyone to be charged incorrectly. As soon as those concerns are resolved, surveys will launch to prep for fulfillment soon after.
Okay, that's all until the surveys go out. Thank you!
