Greetings Star Seekers,

I can finally share some exciting news! I received the proofread manuscript from a new editor I just hired. Now I need to go through everything to make sure the manuscript is as shiny as can be!

I don't know how long this will take. My hope is two weeks, three at most, as I navigate around other commitments and family obligations.

But the hard part is over!

What is next:

• ☑️proofreading (my editor & amazing proofreader) - DONE!
• ☑️ordered Star Found Deluxe Editions - DONE 2 weeks ago!
• ➡️I review proofreads - Expected to finish by the end of the week/month
• Format the book (which may take a couple of weeks) - Expected to finish end of July (I have one more bonus illustration to draw for this book for you guys)
• Final proofread / print a paperback copy I can read myself to markup and check for things we may have missed. (Sometimes a different format gives a new perspective) - Expected to finish by end of August/early September
• Go over the final proofreads - Sometime in August/September
• LOCK ALL ORDERS - August/September
• Send eBooks! (You will still get it a month before it releases I have removed it from retailers completely for now, so it'll be many months before I release it.) - Sometime in September
• ☑️All digital stretch goals sent - DONE
• Place the final order for the deluxe edition books. - Sometime in August/September - takes 2 months to print/produce
• ☑️Pin only tiers charged and mailed. - DONE! 
• Wait for print books to get printed - Expected November/December
• CHARGE ALL SHIPPING /ADD-ONS ORDERS with books - October/November
• Receive printed books and start fulfillment - Expected December/January 2026 (Fingers crossed🤞 )
