Everyone,

I apologize for the long silence on the progress of the Best of S&SM1 anthology. It has been very slow so it has been hard for me to talk about. At the moment I am still waiting for two pieces of art to come in. I have hope that they will be finished soon, but won't make any predictions on how much longer they will take lest I disappoint you. Once they do arrive I will try to get things together to go to the printer as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, I am chasing down my writers again to get contracts signed and payments to them made. I am also getting things set for the layout process that will be completed as quickly as I can once the art is all in.

Once again, I am sorry for not keeping you updated more often. I'll try to be better going forward. On the theory that no news is not good news, I will endeavor to send out weekly updates from now on, so look to hear from me again next Tuesday.

Best regards,

Curtis

Work is still ongoing on "The Best of Swords & Sorcery Magazine, Vol. 1" The remaining interior art is coming in and layout work is in progress. Here's a peek at one of the most recent illustrations we've received, the illustration by David House for "The Ink of the Slime Lord" by Jason Ray Carney.

A big thank you to everyone who has backed the project. We hit our funding goal with a few days left in the campaign. Of course, the campaign is still ongoing and it would be really great if we could hit our first stretch goal of doubling author pay...

Thank you to everyone who has backed the campaign in the last few days. We're up to 88% funded with a few days left. You can help us keep the momentum of the last few days by telling your friends and maybe checking out the add-ons. We're offering some nice postcards of some of our interior art. If you're following the campaign and considering pledging but haven't yet--why wait? You could be the person who puts us over the top.
