Books are in!!! Please...your surveys.....
Hi Hello!
Books have arrived, and they look GREAT!!!
This weekend (Aug 17 & 18) I will be at Flame Con in NYC, and then fulfillment is planned to begin the following weekend (...
The end of the line! Finished shipping books out today after receiving the missing glitter covers!
If you don't have tracking, or your order doesn't appear to have shipped, then you probably have not filled out your survey, or there was an issue with payment (or you're Jeff from East Side Mags, in which case I will be hand delivering your books soon, my friend).
Here's a survey recovery link in case you think maybe you missed filling out the survey: https://when-i-was-young-comic.backerkit.com/
What happens now? I have a pile of books to donate to libraries and youth programs, and I will settle up all the invoicing for shipping charges, check the numbers, then make a big donation to Trevor Project with everything that I have left from the campaign! Really happy that we'll be able to make these donations, thank you again for your support. Will post a final closing update once the donation has been made, then I will be in the wind.
I do have some extra books from the print run, and those will soon be listed on my website for sale, with profits continuing to be donated to Trevor Project.
Thanks for your patience while the printer got the missing glitter covers reprinted, they are shipping to me tomorrow! I expect to have them in hand by mid next week and will resume shipping backer orders ASAP.
We are so close to being done with fulfillment, and I truly cannot wait for everyone to get their books.
Thanks again for your support, Michele
Some more things to check out:
My Neighbor Necromancer is a dark YA fantasy about a girl named Jessie who stumbles into the wild world of necromancy and learns how the denial and mistreatment of Death can do more harm than good.
We shipped another big batch of orders over the weekend! If you backed with an art print, you will be receiving 2 separate packages, we put the prints in poster tubes for safest transit.
***Glitter Cover Update*** - when we received the books, we were missing MANY copies of the glitter cover. The printer attempted to locate them unsuccessfully, so they are reprinting, and will send them to me ASAP... but that means there are about 50 backers who ordered a glitter cover who will unfortunately have to wait a bit longer. I don't have an exact timeline yet, hoping it will be less than a couple of weeks, will let you know as soon as I know!
The rest of the orders that do not have a glitter copy will hopefully be shipped by next weekend (sept 7-8).
Thanks for your patience while I work through all of this! Can't wait for everyone to have their books. -Michele
Quick update on fulfillment - we were able to get through about 80% of orders over the weekend (400+ packages!!!) and I'll continue to pack and ship out the rest of the orders throughout this week/weekend as I have time. Just wanted to send a quick update in case you haven't gotten a shipping notification yet... It's coming soon!
Thanks again for your support and patience while we get everything out the door for you!
We will be starting (and hopefully finishing) fulfillment this weekend. "We" = me + a few of my incredibly kind friends and collaborators on this project who have the (mis)fortune of being close to me geographically. Fingers crossed that we can get through it all in one weekend, will keep you updated on when to expect your books.
PDFs have been sent out for anyone who backed at the digital tier or above! Keep an eye out for those downloads in your inbox.
Thanks again for all of your support throughout this process, Michele
A few extra things to check out if you like comics:
Ambitious Failure is Always More Interesting Than Mediocre Success.
That's my take on it, anyway. This book is a mix of memoir and comic book essay about what we put ourselves through to make art. This is a story about pushing things until you feel them start to break, and hope the light through the cracks is magical and not destructive.
This is my favorite thing Richard has ever made (outside of his story in WIWY, of course).
