Project Update: Shipping Update
Hi all, Gray here!
Apologies for being radio silent in January, especially after setting grand expectations in December.
I wasn’t able to meet my goal of having US copies shipped out by December, and needed to pull books from storage in order to fulfill the latest batch. Now that the blizzard has ended, I’m able to resume shipping.
Thank you all for your patience, stay warm and stay safe!

Project Update: Physical Copies: The Third Impact
Hi everyone, Gray here!
After months of back and forth with the fulfillment service, I'm pulling back from them and moving to BackerKit Postage for fulfillment.
Now that a proper fulfillment pipeline with reduced errors has been established, the third batch of physical copies is nearly ready to ship!
I intend to ship these out on Monday, December 1st.
You received an email about addresses being locked- because I hadn't fully pulled out of the prior fulfillment service at the time, the link to where you could update your address did not work. That should no longer be the case.
I will be re-sending these notices following this message, so that you can update your address before addresses lock on Friday, November 28.
If you had reached out to me previously about your address, I'll do my best to make sure that the addresses are updated properly. However, I highly recommend attempting to try the link in the second notice.
Please note that because I'm trying to ship as many orders in this batch as possible, I'm prioritizing orders of single copies that are shipping within the US. However, I anticipate that the first batch to include international orders will be sent out before the new year.
Thank you for your support and patience all this time!

Project Update: Shipping Update and Epub release!
Hi all, Gray here!
I've finally managed to get in touch with someone from Shipstation, and I'm currently working in order to resolve the issue with shipping providers - up until now, I've had to individually ship every book in a given batch rather than bulk purchase shipping labels. I'll be sure to keep people in touch as updates progress!
More importantly, I'm pleased to announce that the epub of meat4meat has finally been completed! Check your digital downloads on backerkit to receive your copy.
Thank you for your patience with everything, and a pre-emptive happy Halloween!
Best regards,
Gray

Project Update: Second Batch Now Shipping!
Hi all, Gray here!
I'm currently setting up the second batch for shipping, and they'll be dropped off at the post office within the next day or so.
If you're in the second batch, you should receive an email from ShipStation once your label has been created that includes a tracking number.
Once that completes, I'm aiming for a third batch to be shipped out later this month.
As for the epub version, the end of July was an optimistic estimate, and while I wasn't able to meet my goal, I do have a complete (albeit still very unfinished) version of the text that does not include images or most text formatting such as italics or bold lettering. If you're interested in receiving a copy of the WIP epub, please let me know by emailing [email protected] and I'll be happy to send it, just be aware that that does not reflect the finished product, and that it may be a few weeks yet before I'm able to provide a more complete version.
Thank you and have a great day!

Project Update: July Updates
Hello everyone,
It's been some time, so I wanted to address the concerns that people have reached out about.
The epub edition has required significantly more work than anticipated (since it has essentially required a complete reformatting), and while I have made a considerable degree of progress, the best turnaround I can offer for it is the end of the month.

The second batch of books is still being prepared for shipping— this is my first time running a crowdfunding campaign, and while much of the labor management went smoother than expected, I'm still running into logistics issues regarding fulfillment.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope that next time I update it will be with brighter news!
Best regards,
Gray
