I know it hasn't quite been a month yet, but it's time for an update: Surveys Are Coming. 5% of backers should receive their survey shortly, and everyone else should see it tomorrow sometime.
Jamie and I have been chipping away at the book. The text has been edited once and laid out, so there is just one more round of copy edits and proofreading left before it is finalized. Jamie has been working on the illustrations and maps. Here's an updated take on the calcabrina:
A note on shipping:
Because of the expected timing for the fulfillment of this book, I've decided to offer something I haven't done before (but I know other creators sometimes do): in person reward pickup at PAX Unplugged! I have had a booth at PAXU in Philadelphia for the last few years, and I will be back there this December. If you are planning on going, you may have the chance to pick up your rewards in person and skip the shipping charges.
This is a new thing for me, and there are lots of reasons why it might not work out, so you will still be asked to enter your credit card information when you fill out the survey. I'll be in touch with backers that choose this option once we get closer to the convention date to make sure we can coordinate this.
That's all for now. I'll be checking in again later in July, hopefully with news that the book is complete and the proofing process has begun with the printer.
