Project Update: We did it! Now what?
Hi all!
A belated "we funded and it's over!" update here - my day job is exhausting and I wanted to wait until I was feeling a bit more rested to sit down, take this in, and say thank you.
I'm incredibly excited to get the chance to make this book and I'm very grateful to all 367 of you who have supported this project and made it possible. Not only is the book going to exist but my partner and I are going to have a really nice contribution to our honeymoon fund as a result of overfunding, and we're both very grateful.
My editor returned the manuscript to me earlier this week. Over the next week or so I'm going to be going through his edits, accepting and rejecting (mostly accepting) changes, and doing any rewrites that we need. It will go back to him for a second pass, and then I'll have a final manuscript and will be able to start layout in earnest. When I have a "text complete" manuscript I'll share the plain text version with you so that you can see the full game before it gets turned into a book.
Generally it takes about two weeks for Backerkit to deliver funds to me. I don't know if I'll have finished layout by the time that happens, but I'm aiming to get it done as close to that date as possible so that when the money lands I can immediately send the books to the printers and start getting things manufactured. Printing generally takes two weeks, too, and then I'll be able to start posting things!
I'll update you along the way. Thanks again for your support!
