Just a quick note. There was a certain segment of backers (if you backed an electronic reward in the campaign and then added physical addons in the survey) that didn't pick up the shipping cost correctly.
I only saw this as I was starting to put together orders and noticed the shipping cost wasn't covered. I'm working with Backerkit to push through a fix on this today. So if you are one of those backers, you will see an extra shipping charge for the campaign shortly.
Sorry about this unexpected change! Let me know if you have any questions on anything. You can email me directly at wctracy at williamctracy dot com if you need anything.
I just got in copies of Waves Take Your Bones and It's You, Isn't It? (Doyle for scale). If you got a copy of Isaac in the campaign, you should have gotten an electronic copy yesterday. I've also sent out all the already published electronic books over the last couple days. When you read a Space Wizard book, it really helps our authors get the word out if you leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads!
Doyle, a white and tan cat, presides over new books!
I've got all the surveys processed, and I'll start shipping books, stickers, pins, and keychains out in the next few days! I'll get as much as I can done before we leave for Worldcon, and then continue when we get back later in August. I'm also putting together a form for the free audiobook codes soon, so if you qualified for one of those, watch out for that in the next few days. This campaign is going to be pretty quick compared to previous years, and I hope to have all shipping complete by early November!
Just a note that I'm locking down the surveys so I can start to get books out to you! In 48 hours, completed orders will lock, and then I'll start charging cards for any extra addons. There are still 25 people who haven't filled out their surveys, and the faster you do, the sooner you get your books. As soon as I have all the email addresses, I'll start sending out the eBook versions of everything.
I've already got copies of Isaac, and I've just ordered copies of Waves Take Your Bones and It's You, Isn't It? So get those last few surveys in!
If you're coming to WorldCon in Seattle this year, we'll have a booth in the dealer's room, so come say hi! These Space Wizard authors will be there too, if you want to get any books signed in person: A.Z. Rozkillis Alex Kingsley Heather Tracy C.J. Hosack Chris Gerrib J.S. Fields
I have all the surveys created and I just pressed the button on the smoke test! That means 5% of backers will get their surveys, as a test to make sure everything works. If all goes well, I'll send out the rest of the surveys in a day or two.
When you get your survey please fill it out soon as you can. Our new books will start releasing this month (in fact I'm getting some advance copies of Isaac in a couple days!) so the sooner you pick your books and extra swag, the sooner they get to you!
Hopefully I'll have some pictures of books with the next update.
If you're coming to ConGregate this weekend in Winston Salem, come say hi! I'll be on several panels, including one showing off the books in this campaign coming soon from Space Wizard!
This post is Verne-approved.
Verne says to fill out your survey!
Thank you so much to everyone for once again funding some great queer science fiction and fantasy!
What Happens Next:
• Card Processing: Backerkit will now begin charging cards. Please make sure your payment info is up to date to avoid any issues.
• Surveys: Backer surveys will go out as soon as I finish them up! It may be a little earlier than the two week mark, as I like to get an early assessment of how many of the first few books people want so I can get orders in. You'll also add any extras, and confirm your shipping address.
So sit tight! There are some amazing books coming your way very soon...
