Big Update! Books Shipping!
Hello everyone! :)
Apologies for the later update! The release day for Womanthology has FINALLY arrived and there's so much preparation going on for it!
March 14th, this Wednesday, the book will be released in the direct market (comic shops). It's a really momentous occasion for all involved. It's been months and months of hard work, and now it's here! :D It's really finally time!
Now for you backers, here's the latest on rewards! Please scroll to the bottom for some cool news about Wonder Con & a little contest!
Womanthology Books
All copies for United States backers have been sent already, and should be on their way to you if you haven't gotten it already. They are shipped from San Diego, so the further east you are the longer they will take! :)
International copies are still being worked on, the publisher is working with multiple custom forms from many countries from around the world, and trying to find the safest tracking methods for your books, so it may take a little longer to get to you, depending on where you live. As soon as I get the word that they're being mailed out I will update again!
Address Changes have been asked about a lot, all the address changes we've gotten up till now we've forwarded to the publisher and they've implemented it on their lists, so all should be okay for you. If anyone else would like to change their address, to insure we don't lose track of your messages, please fill out THIS FORM
People just now giving addresses There have been a handful of people who have just now sent up their address, and about 40 who have not sent in their addresses at all! yet. Those that just sent in your address, there may be a slight delay in that you were not part of the list sent to the Pulibhser, but no worries, we'll get it to you, but there may be a little delay. If you haven't send in your addy yet, please do so! Everyone should have gotten their request for addresses in email and in your Kickstarter account back in December.
What happens if my book doesn't arrive? This is a huge project, with a LOT of backers, and only a few of us trying to make it all happen, so I am sure there will be a lost copy of two, a mis typed address here or there, or just a plain mistake. It's just bound to happen! But please be rest assured I am in this until the end, and no matter what everyone will get their book, even if it means I'm shipping them personally until the end of days! ;D Meaning: Don't worry if there's a mistake, I'll make sure everyone gets their rewards. I won't just disappear, I'll always be here. Just message me, and keep in contact!
Womanthology Sketchbooks
All these have been shipped. I've gotten one or two "return to sender" in which I notified those backers already. If you haven't gotten your sketchbook, please let me know!
Sketch/Signed copies of book:
I am waiting for my copies to be sent to me, then I'm sending them individually out to the sketch backers. For Signers, I am making specialized bookplates for. All of these expect an email from me or your artist later this month for an individual update!

Thanks...
I know I've said it a lot, but I really cannot thank all of you enough. :) It's unbelievable that it's all finally happening! I hope you as backers are proud of what YOU have achieved in all this. You made your voice heard, you supported something you felt was important, and yes I know for a fact that you've changed lives. All of us on the book love to make comics, and we wanted to pull together to make something fun and meaningful for good cause, but we could never have done it without all of you.
As things move forward after this book, I have my hopes that Womanthology will become something that will give a place to women in comics to showcase their work, and to help support one another, for a very long time :) This was ever meant to be something positive, fun, and worthwhile, and I can thank all of you backers and the wonderful women on this project for making that a reality!
So THANK YOU! ;D
Me, with my Copy :)
Talk to you soon! :) Feel free to email Womanthology@gmail.com with questions!
