The March of Progress
We're getting there, you guys! Isaac was kind enough to write me a gorgeous (handwritten!!) introduction, which is now laid out in the InDesign file. I have my ISBN number and bar code, the prints are ordered, their protective plastic sleeves and backing are being delivered tomorrow.
I'm still waiting on one more printing quote, which should come in the next day or two - so I'm going to spend the weekend going over my book file with a fine-toothed comb, and I'm hoping to send the file off early next week. It's terrifying and exciting! Terror-citing!
In the meantime, I've been working on the digital version of the book, and the rewards. I was saddened to learn that my local Xpedx store had closed down (!!) so I had to order one last ream of Wausau Royal Fiber Cottonwood paper to print the last of the minicomics. The paper finally arrived yesterday! I'm attaching a picture of it with the AWESOME Tardis tea pot my sister gave me for Christmas, and a picture of my Wausau paper sample - it's not easy to tell from the photo, but Royal Fiber paper is delicately flecked. I have used it to print the Shuteye minis since the beginning, usually going with either Birch or Cottonwood.
So I was able to finish printing off the sets of Shuteye minicomics last night! I'm also attaching a picture of them all tied and stacked. EACH MINI (not each set, every single minicomic in this stack) is signed has a little sketch in the inside front cover.
Once I get the book out to the printer, I'll be sending out emails to all of you with information (and in some cases also questions) regarding your reward level, so keep an eye out for that! ALSO: I'm going to be planning a release party and a few different signings around town here in Chicago once I have the book in hand. If you live in the area, you'll have the option of coming to pick up your book and other rewards in person!
