Hi, All!
This is a quick update for you, but after accepting the quote that we talked about in our last update, we sent over the final page count of the book's new layout. That number is really important because that, along with the paper type, is what determines the spine thickness. We need that information, in turn, to get both the case and the dust cover designed correctly.
Well, just a couple of days ago, our printer sent us the template for the final dimensions, so we can get to work on the book's exterior! It's not super flashy or exciting like cool new art, but it's hopefully an interesting peek behind the curtain.
A screenshot of the dimensions for the case, which is just the bare book without the dust cover.

Hi, everyone!
Following on the heels of the last update, we just got our initial quote from the printer. We have a few questions and points of clarification to go over with them, but once those are sorted we'll be able to get started on the pre-press stage of the process!
There's a lot of back and forth at this stage that can at times seem a little boring, but regardless, we'll keep everyone posted as things develop!
Bookmarks Finalized & Ordered

Howdy, all!
First off, I'm terribly sorry for the late update. I wrote this up a couple of weeks ago and, rather than posting it, I saved it to drafts. Then, like an idiot, I went about my day thinking the update had gone up.
Now, with all that said, we have a couple of updates to lump together for you today! We've gotten the bookmark designs finalized and have placed the order with the manufacturer. It typically takes a few weeks for print runs to wrap up, but once we have confirmation that the bookmarks are on their way to us, we'll let y'all know.
In the meantime, take a look at the finalized designs below:

Howdy, all!
In the last few weeks we've been getting interior illustrations in from Daniel Kamarudin as he completes them, so we have a couple to show you!
We'll be sure to share more as we get them in!
Take a look!
While we get to work on the book, a quick introduction!

Hi, everyone!
With the majority of surveys sent out and answered, I wanted to take a moment to do a quick intro. While interacting with us here on Kickstarter or via our support email, the majority of the time, you'll be interacting with a single person.
Hi! I'm Eira (pronounced like "eye-ruh"), and I am in charge of coordinating the campaigns and fulfillment for nearly everything Wraithmarked does. It's a lot of work, and things can get pretty busy, but I can't imagine doing anything else. :)
A couple of quick things about me. I'm an author myself, a tabletop RPG developer, and cat mom. When I'm not being a total dork, I skate with a local roller derby team. Also, because I'm among fellow readers, my favorite genres are Sci-Fi and Horror.
I bring all this up to let you all know that when you interact with us, you're talking to a real person who has been involved with the creative process from start to finish. It's super important to me that your experience with us is a good one. While I can't promise completely smooth sailing— manufacturing and distribution are tricky businesses— I will do my best to keep y'all informed as the process progresses.
That's all for today! Just wanted to stop by, give y'all a peek behind the curtain, and say hello! Thanks again for supporting what we do here at Wraithmarked!
