I have just placed the final piece of art in the design file.
It was this bad boy. He arrived fashionably late - probably finishing up one more chapter.
It is done.
FINAL PDF
I'll release this on Friday. I know, another wait, but this one's because tonight I need to pack for a trip to London, and every single time I've rushed a PDF release something's gone wrong - and this time, I won't be around to fix it immediately.
PRINTING
I'm waiting for a quote from one newly discovered printer, but I shall be shocked if that's not waiting for me when I get back from London. If it's not, I shall simply go with the printer I was planning to work with anyway. Either way, files go to the printer this weekend.
LOCKING ORDERS AND CHARGING CARDS
I'll do that this weekend, too. Backerkit gives you 48 hours' notice, so assuming I do that sometime on Friday evening, your orders will lock on Sunday evening.
FUTURE UPDATES
You'll notice there's one major omission from this update: a timeline. That's because I need to confirm shipping dates. One reason I'm waiting on another printer is to see whether they can ship directly to the US, instead of sending it all to me to forward on. The planned printer can do this, but it's quite distressingly expensive - the new one has been chosen because they should be both cheaper and faster.
Then it's order fulfilment, which is likely to take at most two weeks once the books make it to the warehouses (meaning Studio 2 Publishing, and... my attic).
