Y’all did it! Everyone filled out their survey on time, so the whole group will get a 25% off coupon that can be used on anything on my online store. The coupon will be available when I’m in the fulfilment stage of the campaign and will be good for one year from the date of distribution. Go check out www.thejsliving.com/shop to see what kind of goodies you’ll be able to buy!
In other news, let’s talk Short Story Polls (last one!) and Fulfillment Updates
Short Story Poll:
I just posted one more short story poll!
As we get closer to the fulfillment stage, it’s time for me to write the short story I owe you. Since I want to keep crafting the stories that you’re interested in hearing, I wanted to give everyone one last chance to participate in the short story poll. I’m so thankful to have found this community, and I want to continue earning your trust as I move forward on more and more projects.
The last poll for the short story closes in one week, or seven days,so make sure your voice is heard by voting. I can’t wait to see the results!
Fulfillment Updates
Everything, with the exception of the book, has been ordered!
And, if all goes well, I’ll be able to ship rewards out in early June. But, that depends on how soon I receive everything, and when I can get proof copies of the book.
Our sensitivity reader finished reading, and everything looks good. I’ll be putting in for the LCCN sometime this month, and assigning the ISBN right after. That said, obviously, the mid-May deadline is a no go, so the only local pick up I might be able to offer is Dreaming Dirty in Maryland, which will be in Baltimore, Maryland on June 13 at the Lord Baltimore Hotel and, if I’m lucky, Dreamcon, which will be in Houston Texas from July 10-12 at the George R. Brown Convention Center (though I still haven’t heard back from them).
But, as always, I’ll keep you updated.
Once again, I apologize for these delays, and thank you soooo much for your patience and understanding!
I can’t recall if I’ve mentioned this, but I have chronic fatigue, and it tends to mess with my publishing deadlines. I try my best to stay on track, but it doesn’t always work out. And, while a two month delay isn’t as bad as, say, two years, I still feel awful that it’s taking me this long. I’m going to try to do better in the future by doubling (or, maybe even tripling) the amount of time I think I need to complete a project so I’m not running behind. So, again, thank you!
One last reminder before I go: If you find yourself attending Dreaming Dirty in Maryland, you can choose Local Pickup as the shipping address and fill out J.S. Living’s Local Pickup Form to obtain your order without paying shipping fees. If I’m accepted to Dreamcon, I’ll add it in as an option. But I will be removing Imaginarium as I just don’t have faith that the book will be complete in time for you to pick it up there.
Remember, if you choose this option, you are responsible for picking up your order; and if you miss the event, you will have to contact me to arrange alternative shipping options. Only choose Local Pickup if you’ve already secured your ticket, and/or your designated helper’s ticket, to the event because pickup requires a proof of purchase in the form of the Backerkit Confirmation number found on your survey.
