I've got a bunch of packages with Fiery Deeps shipping out tomorrow! Those of you with the full year subscription, you'll be getting a BIG box in November with the first half of the titles for the year, including Physical Magic, Foxfire in the Snow, Oceans of Fireflies and more!
Did you know we have only 3 days left in our second campaign of the year? Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before, is currently sitting at $8,000 and we've hit 3 stretch goals! I'm really to hoping to hit our $10,000 stretch goal by Thursday the 26th, which means we'll have special, fancy hardcover versions available of the anthology. The fancy hardcovers won't be available afterward, so now's the time to get that version and help us hit that goal!
We're already getting some fantastic submissions for the anthology, and we'll have some amazing stories coming from Hugo-Award winning and bestselling authors:
- Seanan McGuire, multiple Hugo Award-winning author of the Wayward Children series, the October Daye series, and the Incryptid series!
- Travis Baldree, author of Legends and Lattes, shortlisted for the Hugo Award for best novel in 2023, as well as exceptional audiobook narrator!
- Emma Newman, Hugo Award-winning podcaster and author of the Planetfall series, which was shortlisted for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2020!
- Mary Robinette Kowal. Hugo Award-winner Mary Robinette Kowal has written: The Spare Man, The Glamourist Histories series, Ghost Talkers, the Lady Astronaut Universe, and many short stories.
Booktopia 2024 is going so well, and I'd encourage you to check out all the projects. 52 of the 59 projects have funded, and a couple more are almost there! Each project is also paired with a collab partner, and we're offering special rewards for people backing physical rewards. For example, if you back Lesbians in Space and my partner Aimee Cozza's The Warm Machine, you'll get 6 out of a 56 card deck of oracle cards!
As a special bonus, if you back 5 projects or more, BackerKit will also send you a special metal bookmark!
The creators have also had a lot of fun behind the scenes, getting to know each other and supporting each other's projects. It's an amazing adventure, so go check it out!
