 Hi Folks!

You may have seen this surprise elsewhere already (and may have already seen it if you backed the first campaign), but I'm thrilled to announce Space Wizard is working with Mary Robinette Kowal, who has a story in Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before, to narrate the audiobook!

Mary Robinette has recorded dozens of great audiobooks (many of which I've listened to), along with recording fiction for authors such as Seanan McGuire, Cory Doctorow, and John Scalzi.

We were lucky enough that she has time later this year to record the anthology, including her own story, so even if you've read the text version, this will be a narration you won't want to miss!

You'll have a chance to get the audiobook, eBook, or paperback versions, or all three, plus any of our existing Space Wizard catalog! Our base goal is to fund the narration for the first anthology, Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before, but depending on how much funding we get, we do have our second anthology ready, Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back!

Sign up now to get notified as soon as the campaign begins March 12!

Hi Folks,

Today is the official release day for Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back! I hope you've enjoyed being the first to read it, and if you liked it, there's a very easy way to make sure other people find and enjoy it as well.

I'd be very grateful if you left a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. It doesn't need to be long, and it can just be a rating if you don't have much to say. But that extra proof of readership will help convince others to read these stories as well.

And if you got a copy of the first anthology too, I'd love it if you also left a review for that one!

Hi Folks!
 
I sent out a lot of packages this week, and they're wending their way toward you, if they haven't already arrived!
This has been a whirlwind campaign, but my goal was to finish it up before the end of the year.

I still have a few unanswered surveys and 3 failed credit cards, so I'll keep an eye on those over the next few weeks before I close this campaign out.

For now, if you've read either of these books, please leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads! I think these anthologies are some of the best lesbian fiction around, and I'd love more reviews from readers to really help get the word out!

You can review Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before on
Amazon
Goodreads
or any other reviewer space you'd like!

You can review Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back on
Goodreads
And I'll be back when it releases on Amazon on December 30th to give you that link too!

I have one more question for you, in the attached poll. What about an audiobook? They take a lot of money to produce, but I'm thinking of running a crowdfunding campaign to turn both anthologies (if possible) into audio format. What do you think of this? This campaign had almost 400 backers, and I calculate we'd need at least 200 of you to fund an audiobook. Fill out the poll below and let me know if that's something you want to see!

I'll be back once the book officially releases with the Amazon review link!

Hi Folks,

I have lots of news this week. First, I received the Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back fancy hardcovers!
The books arrived just as it started snowing in Raleigh NC in December, which is almost unheard of!

I filmed the official unboxing, with Verne's help. You can see the whole video on my Instagram page!

We have some pictures, with Doyle for scale, and you can see how the foil changes in the light:

The other news I have is that shipping is almost done! I'm packing up the last paperback books today and I hope to have these hardbacks packed up as well, by the end of the week. That means this campaign will be fully fulfilled by next week. I told you it would be a short one! If you are one of the 9 people who haven't filled out your survey for physical books, or your credit card has failed, please correct that as soon as possible! I'd love to close out this project completely by the end of this year.

Finally, the book is releasing in stores on December 30th, so please leave a review then if you had a chance to read it and enjoyed it. That will help more people find this anthology and celebrate the great authors involved!

Thanks for helping to bring this amazing book to life!
