Hi Everyone!
With surveys sent and most of them filled out, our first order of business is getting the smaller reward items made. The art prints will be first, then the bookmarks after that. We're getting the finalized print files for the art prints done this week and will likely be placing the order for them early next week. We'll update here again once those orders are placed!
Here's a quick reminder of what those are going to look like! The prints with the book covers (center) will be double-sided featuring foil elements on one side and the original unmodified art on the reverse. The vibrant endsheet art (left and right) for each book will be single-sided and will feature raised gloss! Can't wait to get these ordered so y'all can see, they're going to look awesome!

Update to Wraithmarked Support and Update Policies
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Nov 27, 2024 at 06:26:44 AM
Hi everyone!
If we haven't made our formal introduction update on this campaign yet: Hi, I'm Eira, Head of Crowdfunding and Fulfillment over here at Wraithmarked and I'm here with my colleague Heather. Nice to meet y'all (or possibly hello again).
I'm interrupting our regularly scheduled updates to let you know that we're slightly changing how we handle a few things here at Wraithmarked, first and foremost, how we offer and manage support. Second, our update frequency. So let's jump right into it!
Wraithmarked Support
Over the last couple of years, we've been very fortunate to see our audience grow considerably and we've expanded to account for that. We started taking email support requests, brought new people on board to help, and transitioned from an email inbox to a ticketing system. None of it has been perfect, but we've always tried to provide you all with the best support possible.
So here we are again, making a change to hopefully improve your experience as well as ours. At time of writing, there are three primary ways for you to contact us: Kickstarter comments, Kickstarter messages, and our support email. Over the last few months, wrangling all of these different channels has exposed a few inefficiencies that we'd like to address.
Effective immediately, if you need help with something, please send an email to [email protected]. If you send us a Kickstarter message, we're going to reply with a form response asking you to send your request to our support email.
You're of course welcome to comment as you feel you need to and we will reply to your comment as soon as we're able!
Support Hours
If you've never contacted us for any issues, here are a few important things for you to keep in mind. First, we are open 8am - 4pm EST. Second, we are closed on all Federal US holidays. Finally, when you contact us, we will have your request assigned to either Heather or myself AND we'll always do our absolute best to reply to your request within 3-5 business days.
Update Schedule
Over the past couple of years, we've generally held to a firm stance of posting 2 updates on each campaign a month. While in many cases we have plenty to talk about, sometimes— particularly if books are crossing the ocean— there's not much to share. So, going forward, our campaign update policy will be "no less than 1 update a month". Even though we'll continue in our endeavor to share 2 updates a month with you, there may be months where there is only 1 update.
Thanks so much for your time and your continued support! We'll catch you in the next update!
— Eira & Heather

Hi everyone!
Now that surveys have been sent out we're ready to get rolling on production!
First up are the awesome pins for each book! We've finalized those designs and sent them off to our manufacturer for the initial rounds of proofing. Once we get everything finalized there, we'll be getting some prototypes ordered to make sure everything looks perfect.
Here's a quick reminder of what they're going to look like!
As we move along with that process, we'll let y'all know!
Releasing Today! M.L. Wang's Blood Over Bright Haven!

Hey Everyone!
We have a special update for everyone! Today, M.L. Wang's BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN is getting its worldwide traditionally published release today! If you haven't had a chance to read this excellent take on dark academia, go pick up a copy today!
Check out some of the accolades below as well as the book's synopsis:
For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry.
When Sciona finally passes the qualifying exam and becomes a highmage, she finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome—and, instead of a qualified lab assistant, they give her a janitor.
What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago, he was a nomadic hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland, and keep the privileged in power.
At first, mage and outsider have a fractious relationship. But working together, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever—if it doesn’t get them killed first.
BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN is available wherever books are sold! For online purchase, Penguin Random House has all the links you could want!
