Thanks To You!

I'm taking a break from my state of semi-shock to thank everyone so much for helping reach my funding goal for Camera Ready. It was tough going there for a bit, but in the last week we had an amazing groundswell of support that pushed us over the top. Your pledges are going to go a long way in making the book a success. You have my eternal gratitude.

Now down to business!

The good news is that Camera Ready is finished, and is being released to the general public tomorrow!

Starting tomorrow, I'll be sending out surveys to all backers to collect necessary info so that you can receive your rewards. Once we get your information, we'll be sending a link to download the book. For those who pledged at the $10 level, you'll be getting your download link very soon after you fill out your survey. For those who will be getting the special edition version of the book, the delivery time will be in the next couple of weeks. 

Stay tuned for surveys tomorrow, and again, thank you so much of remaking this possible.

Best,

Manoush
