Stormweaver 1 & 2 - Paperbacks & Signed Hardcovers

Proofs Have Arrived
over 1 year ago – Wed, Mar 05, 2025 at 07:37:53 AM

Hey Everyone!

In spite of the issues that our printer has been working on getting sorted out, they were able to get the proofs for both books sent out to us. We just unboxed them on Monday, and we LOVE them, but there are just a couple improvement we'll be making (so those of you who win proofs on our giveaways in the future will be able to easily tell they're proofs!)

• First, we're adding some additional foiling to the case spine. Our logo and STORMWEAVER will both be foil.
• Second, we're going to make sure the headbands are consistently colored (instead of one striped and one not, lol).

• Lastly, there's a minor issue on the interior regarding page balance, but we'll tweak that too and you won't even notice it.

Take a look at these, let us know what you think!

Printing Update
over 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 25, 2025 at 11:27:41 AM

Hi Everyone!

First, we apologize for the copy-and-paste nature of this update. After reading, you’ll understand why it didn’t make sense to modify it for every campaign we have going on.

THE ISSUE

We wanted to touch base with you on a developing situation that will likely be affecting the production of all our projects for the next several months. In the last few weeks, our primary printer (CPi, based out of the UK) made us aware of a cyber attack that created a network outage and subsequently delayed a few of our campaigns that were just about to start the printing process. At the time, we notified backers of those campaigns, but as time has gone on, it has become clear that their entire production schedule has been impacted.

We don’t know the full scale of this outage from a technical perspective, but we do know that all of their clients are affected. Because of that, we can guess that each day this situation persists has the potential to delay their production schedules days or even weeks at a time.

You can read a bit more about the situation here:https://www.printweek.com/content/news/cpi-tackles-cyber-attack/

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS CAMPAIGN?

If this campaign is due to fulfill in the next 6-8 months, it’s very possible there may be some delay on that, ranging from a few weeks to a few months. If this campaign is due to fulfill 9-14 months from now, we are hoping there won’t be any delay at all. Unfortunately, it will all be difficult to predict, so we wanted to let you know regardless.

We have managed to get physical proofs for a couple of campaigns, but even with our approval, CPi will not be able to start the full print run until their systems are back online and they’ve gotten caught up. As we get news from them, we’ll update you all here when relevant.

IN SUMMATION…

There isn’t much Wraithmarked can do short of communicate with you all and be patient as CPi gets their systems back online. In the meantime, if we still have other products left to order for this campaign, such as bookmarks, prints, pins, etc. we’ll continue to get those from our other manufacturing partners as planned. 

Finally, if you require assistance with your pledge, need to change your shipping info, or have another question, please send an email to [email protected]. We’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm EST and will be happy to help however we can (it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to get back to you, but we do answer all tickets in need of a response). 🙂

Thanks so much for your continued support! We’ll continue to keep y’all posted as this situation gets resolved.

Progress on Proofs
over 1 year ago – Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 05:17:33 AM

Hey Everyone!

We were eagerly awaiting the physical proofs toward the end of January, like we communicated here in our last update. Unfortunately, they never showed. So we reached out to our printer to get a status update and it appears that they have experienced further delay. As we understand it, there was a network outage in their facility that has impacted all of their customers' projects—ours being just a few of them

We're told that proofs should be going out by the end of this week, but obviously, that estimate is tentative. Our apologies for the further delay, but once we know something we'll let y'all know here!

Checking in Real Quick

Hi Everyone! 

This will be a quick update for you all, but we just got word from our printer that the proofs have unfortunately been delayed a bit. We should now expect them closer to the end of this month. Once we have confirmation of that—or better yet have them in hand— we'll let y'all know!

Physical Proofs Expected in Early January! Also an awesome new project!

Hi Everyone!

Quick December update for y'all! We've gotten word from our printer that we should be expecting the physical proofs in early January! Once we know more details about that small shipment we'll let you know, and once they arrive, we'll be sure to share some pictures. :)

When the proofs do arrive, we'll give each one a thorough review before sending our approval back to the printer. As soon as they do that, they'll get started on the full print run!

Stay tuned, lots more exciting news coming!

Also, we have a new campaign for Wraithmarked's first omnibus!

The collection of the first three entries in Seanan McGuire's Hugo Award-Winning series, Wayward Children in a single hardbound deluxe edition! Take a look!

Our first venture in combining multiple books from the same series into a single edition, this book comes to you designed from cover to cover by Shawn T. King and features exterior and interior art by Lena Richards! Take a look!
