Message in a Bottle: Print Run
Hey everypony, I have something really special to announce today, something I’ve been asked about so many times I’ve just gone ahead and decided to get it done. Message in a Bottle is about to receive a hardcover print edition! The details are all here: https://igg.me/at/starscribe
So, for those who don’t want to click away, I’ll explain the basics right here. The project is going to run for the month of February, and will be fixed funding. This means that if we make our goal, everyone will get their books. If we don’t, no one will be charged. Anyone familiar with the publishing industry will be about to guess why this might be. Printing has a fixed cost, which decreases as the quantity we’re printing goes up.
Anyone who’s read Message in a Bottle knows it’s not exactly a short story. In fact, printing the entire book in a single hardcover would basically be impossible, given it’s half a million words long. This project will instead be a printing of the first story, up until the lifting of the quarantine, with a second book to follow if this project succeeds.
This book will include a never-before released short story, that won’t be published anywhere else but this book. There are also a few little perks on the project for those who want to support me more directly.
If anyone reading this message would like to be a part of the project and get their hands on the deluxe hardcover print, please check out the project page and help us make this book a reality! And if you can’t, or aren’t really in the mood for pony books, please feel free to share the link with anyone you think might be.
