Time for a Surprise!

Hi Everyone!

We have a fun surprise for you all today! Rovina Kai will be designing a black and white art piece that will be included on the reverse side of the dust jacket!

We haven't gotten the art in yet, so we don't have any sneak peeks for you yet, but once we do get it you can be sure you'll see it in an update here! So stay tuned!

Final Quote Request submitted!

Hi Everyone!

This is a quick update for you all today! In anticipation of wrapping up the book interiors we've submitted the final quote request with our printer. Once we that quote back from the printer and accept it, we'll be able to move on to the pre-press process, which includes getting the dust cover dimensions, page counts, signature pages printed, and more!

As we move on with this process we'll keep y'all posted!

Bookmarks have Arrived!

Howdy, all!

We're very excited to announce that the bookmarks have arrived! It was a big order so it took a bit longer to print and ship, the wait was absolutely worth it because these things are gorgeous. We've never done a bookmark with red foil before, and the way it pops looks so good. But you don't have to take our word for it, take a look at the picture below!

Bookmarks are on their way!

Hey Everyone!

Quick update for you today! We just got the tracking info for the bookmarks so they should be on our doorstep in the next few days. Once we get them in we'll share pictures.

Signature Page Designs Complete!
5 months ago – Fri, Apr 26, 2024 at 08:24:11 AM

Howdy, all!

As part of redesigning the interior of the book, we also have to design the signature tip-ins for the books. These pages are unique in that they are printed before the rest of the book and shipped to the author for signing. Once they're done, they get shipped back to the printer and the rest of production can begin.

Today, we have the finalized design of those tip-in pages (shown below). There may be some slight changes as we work to match our designs to the printer's requirements, but all of your signature pages can be expected to look like this.

As that process moves forward, we'll be sure to update everyone here!
