Hey, Stories from the Slip backers, I've got several positive updates to share with you today!
Shrimp-mouse patches arrive
The most exciting news---the fabric shrimp-mouse patches have arrived and look fantastic! I'm always worried about how details will come out in the embroidery process, but all of the mouse's details came out crisp.

Editing is near complete
Copyediting is complete, and I received back the first round of proofreading edits. I should have the layout updated by the end of the week. Then we'll likely have a final pass to catch any last mistakes.

So let's look at the overall project map. I think we're in overall good shape. There could be unexpected delays in the printing process, but Print Papa (our US printer) has been very quick and responsive during the first Cloud Empress zine project.
You should expect the pledge manager to go live in early August, around the time I hope to have the zines printed.
That's it for this update. Let me know if you have questions, and I'll get them answered to the best of my ability!
