Book one of V. E. Schwab's New York Times Bestselling 'Shades of Magic' series, brought to you as an illustrated deluxe hardcover!
Hi Everyone!
Our designer, Shawn, was lovely enough to grab some (literal) screenshots of his work on the book's interior, and it looks absolutely gorgeous! Take a look!
Hi all!
Following up one of our previous updates, we've just gotten the completed reverse jacket art in from Rovina Cai! With this in hand, we have all the pieces together to send the files off to the printer to get the next phase of production started!
In the meantime, here's a good look at that awesome new art!
Designed to be part of a larger collection of Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off winners, the art of these two editions has been lovingly brought to life by the talented Tom Jilesen, making them some of the most colorful books we've ever tried to create! But don't take our word for it, take a look below, then read more about each book over on THE CAMPAIGN PAGE.
Hey Everyone!
We wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that you can access your pledge information using the following link and entering the email address on your Kickstarter account. Even though we're still a little ways out on production, it's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date!
We'll post a few more reminders about this as we get closer to fulfillment, but along the way, if you have any questions please feel free to message us here on Kickstarter or via email at [email protected]. We're open Monday-Friday 8am-4pm (excluding US holidays).
Hi everyone!
After working with Victoria to nail the idea, we got initial sketches from Rovina Cai for the direction of the art piece on the back of the dust jacket! She went the extra mile by plotting out how these sketches for the next two books in the series would look as well! Take a look!
We're really excited to see how these take shape and can't wait to complete the series so we can line up all the dust jackets together!
Hey guys! Important update for those of you waiting on Wraithmarked deluxe or Edge editions.
A previous printer of ours (not our current printer) had gone to lengths to assure us that our detailed (and usually full-color) illustrations would print well on cloth. Unfortunately we carried this belief over when moving to our current printer and failed to verify with them if that was the case, and as it turns out those promises from the previous printer were (in our opinion) extremely overstated, which we discovered in our recent proofs of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.
Please take a look below at the comparison of what the art should have looked like versus what it does look like printed on cloth.
We are showing you this to highlight our reasoning behind an important choice we have made moving forward: Starting now, Wraithmarked is moving away from cloth printing on the majority of our other deluxe/Edge editions in favor of high-quality paper (there will be some limited exceptions, like LEGENDS & LATTES, where the art works well on cloth), including projects we have currently in the production pipelines. In the interest of transparency, we’d also like to acknowledge that this means slightly cheaper production costs for Wraithmarked, but not as much as you think. We’re talking about pennies cheaper at the quantities we are printing, not dollars.
Regardless, you have our apologies for the failure to verify that cloth would work with these products, resulting in us moving away from cloth-binding in most of our projects moving forward.
If you have any questions, let us know in the comments below and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
