Space Wizard Science Fantasy: Year 4, part 2!

We were at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade this morning and I got the news that the campaign is funded! Thanks to everyone who helped out! With a little under a week left, we've got some great stretch goals to hit!

At $7,000 William C. Tracy (that's me!) will write a new short story and everyone gets a digital copy, distributed through Bookfunnel!
At $8,000 The Dissolutionverse original trilogy will get updated covers and everyone will get free eBook copies! I've been wanting to update these covers for a while. You can help make that happen!

So if you want even more free stories, tell everyone you know about the campaign and let's see how many we can hit!

Here's some pictures from this morning:








Hope you have a great day!

Hi All,

We're right at 95% funded, with one week to go in the campaign. Plenty of time still to hit several stretch goals!

If you're in the U.S.A., I hope you'll have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, with as few bothersome relatives as possible. If you're not in the U.S.A. I hope you're gearing up for...a Thursday. Either way, you can tell friends and family about this cool campaign you backed!

I wanted to share a little bit about what I've been up to the past few days. My spouse has always wanted to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in person, and this is the year it's happening! We got up to New York City on Sunday night, and it was our first time being there. It's certainly been an experience! We saw the city and the Statue of Liberty from the harbor on a Circle Line tour, then went to a performance of the Rockette's 100th anniversary, saw Top of the Rock, Central Park, Times Square, and even the parade balloons being inflated. Tomorrow, we'll be at a special event, overlooking the parade from the comfort of indoors with a great brunch. There are perks to being married to a travel agent! (oh hey, if you want to book a cool trip of your own with her, you can always snag a Nerdventure addon in the campaign!)

Here are some pictures of our exploits!











There are only 4 other unfunded campaigns in The Book Bazaar, so make sure to show these folks some love!





I hope to write you again soon with a "we're funded" message...

Until then!

Hi Folks,

I just got the final art for Tea Tale today. The cover you see on the campaign was a draft placeholder, as the artist had an unfortunate incident with her drawing ipad and needed some more time to redo and finish up the art.

So here is the full wrap art in all its glory! This is an amazing cover. There are a bunch of little details to find!



This is off to get final lettering done, and then those of you who get a copy will be seeing it in real life in February when it releases!

Speaking of which, we're about 80% funded on the campaign, so we just need a little boost to get us over the top! If you've been contemplating, now's a great time to jump in. We have a subscription to all 7 books, we have a Sapphic (feminine/feminine) book package, we have an Achillean (masculine/masculine) book package, a series package with all the series continuing with this campaign, as well as mix-and-match book picks from the entire Space Wizard catalog.

We also have some great addons, like our stickers, pins, and keychains, including the just-released Sapphics Strike Back versions. We also have premium hardcover omnibuses, two custom TTRPGs, and even a discounted planning fee for Melvin's Travel Adventures (my wife's travel agency) if you're looking to book a Nerdventure somewhere!

Finally, if you're a writer looking to publish, Space Wizard is a full-service press, and we also have copy and developmental editing services available. Backing the campaign is a great way to snag one, as they're discounted from our usual rates, and have payment plans available through BackerKit! We've worked on over 60 books, so we have some experience!

And I'm not the only one who needs a final bump to cross the finish line. Check out these other awesome campaigns in The Book Bazaar!









Until next time, and thanks for helping us bring Year 4 to life!

Hi folks!

Just a quick note to say Space Wizard is on r/Fantasy today (November 18) for an AMA! If you’ve ever had any questions about how we operate, what we publish, want to meet our authors, or anything else, come check out the thread here. Come ask questions, since we’ll be around all day. Oh, and please give the post an upvote when you get there so more people come join us!

Until next time!

Hi Folks,

We're at $3940 in funding, as I write, and well on the way to our full funding amount for all seven books!

Tonight, in 2 hours, come join us at 6 PM EST / 3 PM PST and hear William and Heather Tracy talk about editing! You can watch it right on our main page when it starts.

We run Space Wizard science fantasy as a full-service press, which means not only do we publish books, we also take commissions from outside authors for both developmental and copy editing services. We've put out over 60 books, so we have some practice! You can hear us talk about the process, what we do, and we might get a little worked up about our favorite editing pet peeves and grammatical errors. If you're word nerds like us, come check it out!

And if you need editing services, we've made it easy for you. You can pick a Developmental Editing pledge level, and a Copy Editing pledge level from our lead copy editor, Heather, or our assistant copy editor, Courtney! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about getting an edit done on your book.



I'll have another update soon!
