You can never have too many novellas! (All books pictured are from past crowdfunds)


NEW EDGE S&S NOVELLAS are available in:

  • ACCESSIBLE DIGITAL
    and
  • CLASSIC SOFTCOVER

These traditionally printed paperbacks will be perfect-bound, sized at 6.75in x 4.12in. Stretch goals include a bonus S&S zine, an international shipping discount, custom dinkuses, and [SECRET GOALS...].

All four books will each hold approx. 35,000 words of fiction, an introduction by the publisher, one full page B&W illustration, and one full page piece of fantasy cartography.

The paperbacks will be perfect-bound, sized at 6.75 in x 4.12 in - easy to carry, and perfect for your pockets.


CROWDFUND EXCLUSIVES

Some people like to wait and get the thing after the crowdfund. Here's why you shouldn't do that:
 
  • Free ePub & PDFs when you get the physical books.

  • Pay shipping MONTHS later, after backing – it’s never more affordable to get our books than during a crowdfund.

  • Collect back issues of New Edge Sword & Sorcery at a discount only offered during crowdfunds.

  • All backers will receive 4x6 postcards of the cover art for SEAS AFIRE STARS ADROWN and [TBD]!

  • Backers will receive their books first, all in one go! Everybody else will have to wait as the novellas will be released one at a time, gradually over 2027…
     
  • As we get closer to launching the crowdfund, MORE EXCLUSIVES WILL BE REVEALED

The perfect size to carry on your grand voyages!
