Hi Folks,

I have all the surveys created and I just pressed the button on the smoke test! That means 5% of backers will get their surveys, as a test to make sure everything works. If all goes well, I'll send out the rest of the surveys in a day or so.

When you get your survey please fill it out soon as you can. Our new books will start releasing this month (Orders of Lucianus and Aliens in New Florida are already on the way!) so the sooner you pick your books and extra swag, the sooner they get to you!

Also, if you are planning on getting the Space Wizard Novella Collection, be assured we WILL still be getting a new cover for that from Spoon. It's just going to be funded by my money rather than covering it with the campaign. Since we didn't hit the stretch goal, there won't be free eBook copies. There will be free eBook copies of the Quirk & Moth Omnibus, however! It's tentatively titled The Overarch Omnibus.

We've got some great new features for you this year, so read on!

Since we have so many books to choose from now, I've had several readers saying it's hard to pick out which book they want. SO! If you selected a pledge level where you can pick a book (or three) from our catalog, I've added a new prompt with 2 options:

Method 1: shows how to use our filters on the Space Wizard website to pick what you want
1) go to the Space Wizard Book Page (see below screenshot)
2) Pick Fantasy or Science Fiction in Book Genre.
3) OR, pick Book Type and choose between Stand Alone, Series, Anthology, or MG/YA. (Note: novella-length titles are not included in the main survey paperback choices. They are included in the "One Paperback Book" or "One eBook" addons)
4) OR, pick what LGBTQIA+ representation you want to see between M/M, F/F, Bi/Pan, Ace, Trans, Nonbinary, or Poly!
You can then filter further by using one of the other categories, or pick a single Book Series you're interested in. When you click on a book, that page will also let you preselect filters for a similar book, if that's not quite the one you want.

Method 2: I'll send you a "blind date" book
1) Pick the "Choose a book for me" option and fill out 3-5 titles, authors, genres, tropes, or some mix.
2) List any Space Wizard books you own to avoid duplication.
3) There's a new option for "I can't decide. Pick for me!" and I'll curate your book selection for you.
4) NOTE: this option is not available if you picked the "One Paperback Book" or "One eBook" addons. For this, use Method 1 above to select which book you want, if you can't decide.

Let me know what you think when you get your survey! This a work in process, so I want to make it as smooth as possible to match you with your perfect book(s).

We are also selling off the LAST of our Space Wizard and Lesbians in Space T-shirts, as the manufacturer has changed. You'll see a bunch of options like this in the addons section. These are LIMITED to 1-3 of each, so when they're gone, they're gone!

We've got two more campaigns in the works for 2026!

The first is following on our Audiobook campaign this March for Mary Robinette Kowal to record Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before. For those of you who backed it, she's just finished up the last corrections and pickups, and we hope to get the audio files out to you in a couple weeks. Mary Robinette has graciously agreed to work with us again, and so we're running another campaign in September for her to record the second anthology, Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back!

CLICK HERE to follow now to make sure you get alerted when it starts. There will likely be some special, limited quantity items! 

Our second campaign is coming right on the heels of the last one, and will cover the second half of our books for Year 5!  Here's our list:

CLICK HERE to follow the page for author interviews before it starts!

Whew! I think that's enough news for now. If you're going to ConGregate next weekend in Greensboro (their new location), come say hi! I'll be on several panels, including one showing off the books in this campaign!
