Anthology Formatting and copy editing complete!
Hi Folks!
It's been a bit since the last update, but we've been busy behind the scenes. The anthology is coming together fast! Formatting and almost all copy editing is comp...
We just finished packing up the rest of the hardback rewards, and that means this campaign is officially finished! Thanks so much to everyone who supported us!
Over the next week, I'll begin locking down all the orders and marking them as shipped. If you feel like you're missing anything from this campaign, please let me know!
As you're enjoying you copies of Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before, please leave us a review on Amazon or Goodreads! You all are the first to read this amazing anthology, and leaving a review gives new readers a proof of quality, so they're more likely to buy a copy and support Space Wizard!
Another good way to support Space Wizard is to sign up for our next campaign for Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back, coming to you in September!
Great news, as we finally received the hardback copies of lesbians in space today! There was a bit of a holdup in customs, but Pulsio, the printer, was a big helping in tracking down who to talk to and to make sure all the proper forms were filled.
But you're not interested in that. You want to see the books! Doyle was very helpful in inspecting them. (Stay tuned to the end for the unboxing video!)
Doyle approves Lesbians in Space with shiny foil cover!
Doyle likes the spredges!
Doyle says this is his copy. Go get your own!
I'll begin shipping these out next week, which means that will be a wrap for this campaign! If you're as excited about this anthology as I am (and it came out REALLY nice), then make sure you sign up for the next one: Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back! We'll be starting in September, and we already have our roster filled out from all the amazing stories we got for the first book. Plus, we have a few surprise authors who are involved!
And right now, we are just finishing up our Space Wizard Year 4 Part 1 campaign, with over $10,000 already pledged! If you want more great Space Wizard books, go check this one out!
Finally, for all you backers, we have an unboxing video for the hardbacks, where we really show off all the features! Click Below (where it says "Reply to this Update" or "Follow this Project") | | | | v v
Just a quick update today to say all the paperbacks have been shipped out, so keep an eye out for a package incoming, if you haven't already received it!
And if you want to show off your copy, or share an unboxing, feel free to tag me on Bluesky (@wctracy.bsky.social), Instagram (@spacewizardpress), or Facebook (@spacewizardpress)!
I was hoping to have pictures of the hardback books for this update, but no luck. They are on their way at this moment, and I believe they might have even made it to the states (they were printed in Bulgaria), but I'm not yet sure when they're arriving. As soon as they do, I'll send out something to show them off!
We're keeping busy, especially as we're running three new crowdfunding campaigns this year. Make sure to check out the one running now, for Space Wizard Science Fantasy Year 4, part 1! This is for the next seven books coming from Space Wizard this year, and we're already almost 200% funded!
Our next campaign, running in September with BackerKit's Printopia, will be for Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back, so I'm guessing you'll be interested in that one! You can sign up to get notified for it right here. I'm already working with Serene Chia again on the new cover!
Finally, our Space Wizard Year 2 Part 2 will start in November, for another 7 books releasing between December 2025 and June 2026, and you can sing up for that one right here!
Did you know you can run your own crowdfunding campaign with me? For Year 4 Part 2, I'm with a group book collaboration called The Book Bazaar. We're an indie-run publishing based group collaboration crowdfunding event featuring many Booktopia 2024 participants as well as a slew of debut authors, returning authors, artists, and so much more.
We are currently taking applications for campaigns that want to participate until July of 2025. So, if you have a project you want to include as part of a group crowdfunding event, this is your opportunity to get in on a smaller sized event, make some great indie connections, and help get your publishing project funded! For details and the application form, take a look at The Book Bazaar on BackerKit or The Book Bazaar website.
We have 200 copies of Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before ready to ship out!
They've gone through quality control and inspection already. We also have the full unboxing video available below, at the end of this update!
Doyle approves. Verne checks the box for structural stability.
Verne is inspecting the goods.
We're traveling down to Charlotte, NC this weekend for ConCarolinas, so if you're there and want to pick up your copy, just let us know. Otherwise, I'll be shipping all these out over the next week!
I've also had an update on the hardcovers. They are currently printing and I hope they will be here in a week or two.
You all should also be receiving your ebook of Lesbians in Space on June 1st! If not, check your spam folder for an email from BookFunnel, which is the distribution service I use.
Finally, while you're waiting for your new book, why not check out the new campaign for Space Wizard Year 4 that just launched today! We're already $1400 funded in a couple hours! If you back in the next 48 hours, you also get a free audiobook!

Just a very quick update. Between the paperbacks and hardbacks for the campaign, and having a few extra to sell during events in June, I just put in the order for 300 books!
I've been working hard with the publishers of the hardcover edition, and I think you all are going to love it. The paperback version is amazing as well! I can't wait to get it out to everyone.
I don't think the mail carriers are going to like me in the next couple weeks...
Meanwhile, remember to sign up for our annual Space Wizard campaign starting May 29th! We already have some author interviews and other videos in the launch party. The campaign for the secondLesbians in Space Anthology, Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back will be launching in September 2025, so make sure to sign up for that one as well. We've just secured some amazing authors to fill out the rest of our roster, and we'll let you know who they are very soon!
