Good evening, Springwellians! 🏡 I hope you're all good now that autumn is around the corner (or already here). And if you're on my newsletter, you know I love autumn.
In my other update I said I hoped to return with good news for the next update and wow, did you all and the universe help me deliver!
Firstly, we unlocked the next stretch goal! That means the anthology is officially a go. 🙌🏾
Achievement unlocked: reached $8000 stretch goal
The anthology includes four stories and will be around 30K words long in total. It's still being written so delivery will be in early 2027. It will be included in the highest tiers:
Springwell Legend (Including Early Bird)
Town Council
Mayor
Founding Family
Lighthouse Bookshop Patron
Lighthouse Bookshop Benefactor
It can be added on to lower tiers during checkout.
The next amazing news is that Netherlands just made an exemption for micro businesses that put less than 50,000 kgs of packaging on the market. That would be me! So the Netherlands is officially open for shipping.
If you've already pledged you can adjust or change your pledge. If you got one of the cool digital tiers:
Lighthouse Bookshop Patron
Mayor Of Springwell
And you're in the Netherlands. Contact me! Either here, Discord, Instagram or my website.
So what's next? Our $9000 stretch goal aaaand two commissions I've got in progress. 1 of them will be sent out to all backers, buuut to make it a little more fun, it'll be password locked until you've finished the books. Now, of course, I'm not one to tell you how to live your life and enjoy your pledges, so if you really want to open it, it won't be hard to figure out the password. However, it contains a major spoiler that will definitely ruin your experience of the story.
Aside from editing the final bits of The Wishing Well, I'm also working on the Springwell website. There'll be some really fun stuff there and I highly recommend visiting it before or during reading the Wishing Well for a really immersive read.
