Hi all,

I have some great news for Refractions, which I think is fun to see it with a graphic:

Refractions: Nearing Mastering Phase!


That's right - we're about to go into the mastering phase (which will be a whole lot quicker than the prep phase!) The one thing we're waiting on is vocals for Count Me In, which should come in any day. Once we get the files for that, everything will be sent straightaway to the mastering engineer (who will also be mixing Count Me In, which is why that one isn't checked yet.) But the engineer is ready to dive in.

We did get a "thumbs up" on all the tracks we were chasing (just finalizing one last contract), so you'll be getting everything listed above!

I look forward to sending this out to you very soon!!

All the best,
Michael & The Team @ The Black Piper

Hello! Just wondering when we can expect an update as far as time-frames for writers? I understand editing takes time. Just looking for some sort of information for planning purposes. No rush!

So now that we presumably have all the authors signed up, how long is the approximate total word count of the anthology? I'm asking because of the royalty rate, which is 20% * (an individual author's word count/total word count)

1st y'all hit up my two favorite authors then you blow my mind with this one I grabbed the 2 year sub. cause I'm sold! I have made some friends in other crowdfunding campaigns and I have hopes that there will be more opportunities for people new to their craft or just trying to get their name out there and this is a cool new doorway for that.

Hey y'all! When TBP first invited people on Instagram to check out this campaign, I DM'ed them wondering if there was room for extra help with the editing. After talking to Jane, the editor, they've agreed to let me intern as an editor in training. Super excited to be working with TBP and all of your stories!

I'm writing in my piece already! The challenge for me is keeping it short. I've pared my first draft from 2189 words down to 761. Working with an editor will be such a great learning experience!
