Project Update: Goodies shipping out this week!

Hi Folks!

There are still 18 surveys left incomplete, so if you haven't filled yours out, please do! If you've lost it, just reach out to me at [email protected] and I can send you a new link.

I just got the new Lesbians in Space stickers, keychains, and pins from the amazing Geek Girl Stuff this weekend, and I'm busy getting everything sorted and ready to mail out!

- If you only got things that go in an envelope (oracle cards, stickers) then your envelope is going out this week to domestic US and international.
- If you only got physical goodies (cards, stickers, keychains, pins, posters, or T-shirts) and released books, those are also going out this week to domestic US and international.
- If you got goodies but also got the Lesbians in Space paperback or hardback and are domestic US, then I will also be shipping out your goodies now and Lesbians in Space when it releases.
- If you got goodies not in an envelope and the Lesbians in Space paperback or hardback and are NOT domestic US, then I will be shipping out your entire package when Lesbians in Space releases in June 2025 (sorry, international shipping is very expensive!)

But look at these amazing goodies from Geek Girl Stuff! I tried to capture the holographic stickers, but they're even better in person!

A Lesbians in Space sticker, pin, and keychain!

Verne is providing scale...


Hope everyone is doing well, and remember to send your stories in before midnight on December 31st, 2024! That's less than a month now...

Until next time...

Project Update: All the goodies are ordered!

Hi Folks!

Another real quick update for you, but first, know that Space Wizard is devoted to representing diverse stories, giving voice to those who have few outlets, and to publishing great sci fi and fantasy with hopeful themes that show what we should work for.
Keep striving to put magic out in the world, you all. We need it now more than ever.

In happier news, there are only 19 surveys left incomplete, so if you haven't filled yours out, please do! If you've lost it, just reach out to me at [email protected] and I can send you a new link.

But I've got enough information and ordered all the "extra bits" (i.e. not the book) from the campaign, so your stickers, keychains, extra books, T-shirts, and so on will be coming soon. If you ordered other Space Wizard books and charms, I should be shipping those out in a few weeks!
Remember, the actual Lesbians in Space Anthology will be releasing around June 2025.

Remember to send your stories in before midnight on December 31st, 2024!

Until next time...

Project Update: Orders locking at the end of October!

Hi Folks!

I have a real quick update for you. I've got 90% of the surveys completed, so I'm going to be locking them at the end of October.

If you haven't filled out your survey, please do! If you've lost it, just reach out to me at [email protected] and I can send you a new link.

Once I lock the surveys, that means I can get final numbers on all the books and goodies ordered, and start shipping some of the parts not dependent on the Lesbians in Space Anthology (which is releasing June 2025).

We're getting some great stories in already, so if you're planning on submitting to the anthology, remember, you have until midnight on December 31st, 2024 to send it in!

Until next time!

Project Update: Keep filling out those surveys!

Hi Folks!

I know you're getting all sorts of updates from Booktopia creators (because I am too, I backed over 25 of them!), so I'll keep this short...

I just wanted to say thank you to the 87% of you who have already filled out your survey! Great job! That really helps me with figuring out what books and swag to order so I can get it to you as soon as possible. Even though the Lesbians in Space anthology isn't coming out until June 2025, I'm going to try to ship out the other books you've ordered from Space Wizard before then, as long as they're out!

So, for the 13% remaining, you know what that means! Please fill out your survey as soon as possible. I'm hoping to start locking down the orders around the end of October, and charge cards for any addons you've purchased. There are also a few failed charges, and that's the point where BackerKit will be trying your card again. So if you had a failed charge, please update your card before then! Or contact me if there's an extenuating circumstance and we can figure it out...

We've got some amazing stories coming in for the anthology already, but we want more! Remember, you have until December 31, 2024 to get those stories in, and we're looking forward to them! There's room for all sorts of sapphic stories in this anthology, so don't fall into a self-selecting bias! Polish that story up and send it in. We want to see your amazing Lesbians in Space adventure!

Until next time,
William Tracy

Project Update: Surveys are going out soon!

Hi Folks,

It's only been one week since this campaign finished up--hard to believe! We've gotten some more excellent submissions for Lesbians in Space. Remember, if you want to submit a story, get it polished up and sent in by December 31, 2024. All the instructions are here.

My surveys are created and approved by the BackerKit folks. I just sent out the smoke test, which goes to 5% of the backers. If you get one of these surveys, fill it out! That will help test out the system to make sure I didn't miss anything. If all looks good, in a couple days I'll send out the rest of the surveys.

Even though Lesbians in Space doesn't come out until next year, when you get your survey please fill it out soon as you can, especially if you're getting other Space Wizard books. This will help me determine the correct volumes to order, and I can ship out (or send eBooks of) any books that are currently released! So the sooner you pick your books and extra swag, the sooner they get to you!

Finally, there are about 12 of you with failed payments for the campaign. BackerKit will continue to try your card, but if you need to update it, just go in and do it, and they'll charge the card immediately. If you have other issues with it, reach out to BackerKit or to me and we can work with you on it.

That's all for now. Keep your eyes open for surveys and keep writing!
