I am excited to share that the BackerKit for The Dark Thorn has just crossed $100,000!
That also means we hit $90,000. So two stretch goals have been hit. The $90,000 one adds foil to the boards of all editions. I'll be figuring out which colors soon. And the S&N, S&L, and Rare editions added artist signatures to my own. That's a nice little upgrade too!
But my favorite is the $100,000. Because that Stretch Goal is giving 10% more money to the artists who are helping to bring this project to life. Artists don't get enough love in our industry -- they don't make royalties on book sales like authors do -- so whenever I can help them out I try to do it. And thanks to ALL OF YOU, we made that one happen. So pleased as I type this for Magali, Don, and Jared.
What's up next? An upgrade in endpapers for all editions and gilding for the S&N, S&L, and Rare editions. If we hit this one, the book will match up quite nicely with what I did on The King-Killing Queen last year.
Okay, I have to make some boxes now. I'm in the Grim Oak Press warehouse right now and while I work I'm going to consider my CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE story that will begin tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for making this a successful crowdfund!
