Happy Final Space Friday!
We’ve officially started shipping orders #21,000–#30,000! 🎉
You’ll notice the order numbers jumping higher with each batch as we continue moving through fulfillment. As I said before it's because around this time Midnight Editions launched but also the order numbers include lots of other things not just novels.
Are there still some orders from earlier batches making their way to you? Absolutely. Are we still shipping a handful from those batches? Yep. Most of those are orders that hit address errors or international shipping issues that require us to manually track down and correct information before they can go out. If you are worried about your order just message the contact page on the site.
The good news: we’re through the vast majority of those issues, and it’s been incredible seeing so many international fans finally receiving their novels.
Midnight Edition Update.
Midnight Editions are moving along nicely, and we're dropping off another large shipment at the post office today. After that we'll be around the 50% mark. The good news too is it looks like we'll be able to release a chunk from (damage/exchange) inventory when this is all done.
The Battle Worn Midnight Edition dust jackets have shipped to us from the printer and should arrive sometime next week. We've received a ton of emails asking if these dust jackets will be available separately, so for everyone who's been asking: we'll put a limited number on the store once they arrive.
Book Tour Update.
We'll be announcing Los Angeles Day 2 at Gallery Nucleus this Monday for book signing on June 28th.
I’ve also reached out to Forbidden Planet about potentially setting up multiple signing stops across the UK. Right now, I'm focused on making sure we can get enough novels to each location and sorting out all the fun logistics—travel, hotels, inventory, and everything in between.
After the UK run, I may take a week or two to recharge before hitting the road again. I haven't decided yet.
As always, thank you for the patience and support. We're still pushing hard every day to get these books into your hands, and seeing them arrive all over the world has been incredibly rewarding. 🚀📚✨
Hey everyone,
A few shipping updates!
First off, we're still going hard every single day. We haven't really taken a day off since this started. Saturdays, Sundays...doesn't matter everything is blurring together. We're doing everything we can to get these novels out the door as fast as possible. Heck tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going to be doing this but the job. is. not. done.
It's been awesome seeing international orders from Batch 1 and Batch 2 landing in your hands. Thank you all for the patience.
I also updated the shipping ticker on the site. We're now pushing through orders 11,000–21,000, which means...
We're officially about halfway through shipping all pre-order novels. We're waiting on updating shipping confirmations from MacMillian.
The biggest thing slowing us down right now is still address changes.
Yes, we're still updating addresses every day. We get emails every minute of every day asking for them. Happy to do it! What's happening though is shipping notifications are showing up in inboxes, people check them and realize:
"OH NO... that's my old address!"
Then they email us after the box has already been packed or shipped. We try to catch as many as possible before they leave the warehouse, but once they're gone, they're gone. At that point we have repack and resend.
That's just the reality of shipping A LOT of books. We can post deadlines, reminders, updates, emails, social posts... but information doesn't always reach everyone at the same time. Sometimes someone sees the fourth reminder instead of the first. All good. So now we're still pushing forward but also trying to help fix the ones that are hitting errors.
Another thing worth mentioning:
If USPS marks a package as "Return to Sender" because the address is undeliverable, they are often not actually returning the book. In many cases they're destroying it.
Yeah...it stinks.
So far about 65 orders from Batch 1 & 2 have received that status. We won't know the final number until a few weeks after delivery attempts are completed.
If this happens to you, please email us and we'll get your address updated and figure out the next step.
If you need to update your address, PLEASE use the Contact page on the website as soon as possible.
One of the benefits of running the pre-order for so long is that it allowed me to estimate exactly how many extra books we'd need for damaged shipments, lost packages, address issues, and all the other chaos that comes with shipping something this massive. I set thousands of books aside specifically for situations like these.
Once EVERYTHING is shipped and everyone is taken care of, if we still have inventory left, I'll put those copies in the store.
However, I will not be reprinting the pre-order cover.
Once these are gone, everything switches over to the bookstore cover forever... and then I'm going to sleep for approximately nine million years.
Midnight Editions are moving along nicely. We have a BIG shipment heading out tomorrow.
We hit a couple slower days because I ran out of signed stickers and had to switch to signing books as they ship.
The Battle Worn Dust Jackets arrive next week, so we'll begin shipping those out as well.
Alright, back to it.
