We passed our funding goal today for Lesbians in Space Vol 2 Comes to Audiobook, but we're just getting started! First of all, thanks to everyone who has backed the campaign so far.
But we've got a lot more great stuff for you!
I hinted at some new shinies coming to you. Since we've funded, I can reveal the designs for two new enamel pins, connected to these anthologies! This is my first time offering enamel pins, but I've got some great advice and help from friends who've commissioned plenty of them. Here are the designs!
A mockup of a pin for the first anthology, using the cover characters set on a star background, with an anodized metal finish
A mockup of a pin for the second anthology, using the cover characters set on a the planet from the cover, with an anodized metal finish
These are both mockups for right now, as I need to finalize what numbers I'll need to order, but I already have confirmation and a quote from the supplier. You can see some of their other work below. These will be some quality pins! And you can get them individually, or as a set in the addons section!
Also, if you back both this campaign and the Undeniable Audiobook, also narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal, then you'll get blooper reels from four different books: Unrelenting, Undeniable, Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before and Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back. Make sure to check out the Undeniable campaign!
Now's a great time to start looking for that first stretch goal! At $5500, you make me write a new short story, and maybe we'll even get Mary Robinette to narrate it! Let's see how far we can go!
Thanks for the great showing on the first day! Right now, we're about 65% funded, and going strong.
If you didn't see it in the campaign, I'm very happy to say that the first anthology, Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before is up for a major award from The British Fantasy Society! If you didn't get a copy in the first campaign in March, you can get yours in this campaign! It's also going out to retail right now, and should be available soon at Audible, Chirp, Apple, and all those other places you listen to audiobooks.
Please keep getting the word out to friends and family about the new audiobook. I have something new and exciting in the works...once we hit our funding goal, I'll announce it. See the achievement below!
And I have a new poll for you: What's your favorite Lesbians in Space trope? Let me know!
We are less than two weeks out for the start of our campaign for Lesbians in Space Comes to Audiobook, in which Mary Robinette Kowal will be narrating Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back!
We're attending WorldCon (The World Science Fiction and Fantasy convention) this week in Anaheim LA, and I was able to get a few minutes to speak with Mary Robinette about how she approaches audiobooks, when she first started, and what she does for character voices! (She might have also made Heather, behind the camera, tear up a little...)
