An Update to Fulfillment! And... An Upcoming Campaign!

Hey there everyone!
Checking in with you all here with some small updates (as well as a campaign shout out)! Currently, the final print run of The Veneziad is still in progress, though nearly complete. Due to a small tweak we requested be fixed when we received our proof copies, we're anticipating a couple weeks delay to the estimated completion date.
One small tweak we requested they address is the edge printing. Some of the golden lines were quite wavy whereas the design is meant to be rigid.
Pic sent from the printer showing the edge printing!
We're please to say that this issue has been addressed and the pictures we've received look great! We did share a picture of the edge printing in this update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/theveneziad/posts/4584819 . It may be a little hard to see, but you can make out a little wave to those lines on the blue edge.
All of this being said, the estimated printing completion/shipping date via the printer is still around the end of this month. As mentioned above, due to the error, we're anticipating a slight delay to account for the correction; at this time, we have received no official delay from our printer (we'll let you know if we hear anything new)!
Thank you all for stickin' around and for your patience!
THE ULTIMATE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY OMNIBUS
This one seemed like something a lot of you guys might like to be aware of!
On May 5th, Wraithmarked will be releasing what we believe could be considered the most ambitious omnibus edition of Douglas Adam's THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY series ever produced.
As in not only is it a full-color book, but it's going to include 42 full-color illustrations. And that's JUST the interior art. So add in the Smyth-sewn binding. And acid-free paper. And custom covers. And end sheets. And cloth wrapping. And... Well... You get the picture.
There's more detail and a LOT more art revealed on the pre-launch page, so take a look if it interests any of you guys! As always, this will be a single-print run with campaign exclusive discounts, so Kickstarter is the only place you can guarantee your copy and get it at a discount!
Addressing the new (potential) tariffs. No, we will not be charging anyone any additional fees.

IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL TARIFFS
Hey all, Bryce here. This is a quick one.
As with the last time we went through this situation in 2025, I wanted to let our buyers and Kickstarter Backers who are still awaiting their products know that Wraithmarked Creative will not be instituting any additional fees to cover potential tariff costs.
At this time, it's unclear if there will be new global tariffs, much less what they'll be if they come into being. Regardless, in the event that they happen, please rest assured there will be no surprise fees put in place to cover those costs if you have already purchased a book from Wraithmarked Creative or are awaiting a product from one of our campaigns. We'll manage the additional cost one way or the other.
Here's to hoping these tariffs don't come to fruition, period.
All the best, and thank you, everyone, for your patience while we've navigated the complexities of publishing in 2025/26.

An Update to Fulfillment! And... a Wraithmarked Update!

Hey there folks!
Hope your week is treating you right! We wanted to take a moment and let you all know the latest in terms of production, shipping, and fulfillment. As per this week, our printer has let us know that The Veneziad will be finishing printing by early to mid March and will be packed and shipped by the end of March (fingers crossed, as always)!
Typically, we like to show you guys behind the scenes goings on when it comes to book production such as quote requests, a look at the interior art and merch goodies offered during the campaign, maybe even an author signing - that kind of stuff! However, when we can, we also like to let you folks know that we are still a small, independent company with a handful of dedicated employees wanting to make waves in the publishing world. We've come a long way from when we ran our very first campaign, which brings us to today...
We are officially moving into our first warehouse! No more garages or storage units! WOOHOO!
This may not be the most exciting news for some, but for us, it was a looong time coming. We are so excited to begin this new journey in a new location, and we've already started moving our things over! We now have a loading dock! (Like I said, very exciting for us)
That being said, during this process, our support and responses will be a little longer than normal as it's all-hands-on-deck for the move. We're anticipating things to return to normal later next week, but keep in mind, we may have a slight backlog to get through. If you have questions at any point in this process, check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, please send an email to [email protected].
See you in the next one!
Proofs Have Arrived!

Hi there, everyone!
We hope you all had a lovely and relaxing holiday season! 2026 has been treating the Wraithmarked Team well so far; over the holiday break, we ended up receiving the proof copies for The Veneziad. This is Wraithmarked's first full-color book (thanks to y'all helping us hit that final stretch goal)! We've sent our feedback to the printer and expect the full print run to commence once those items are addressed. In the meantime, take a look!
We noticed some small misalignment with the lines on the top and bottom page edge designs and have provided that feedback to our printer. Once the final books are done, this will have been addressed. :)
A Special THANK YOU! And... Campaign Check In!

Hi there folks!
Firstly, apologies for the copy/paste nature to this part of the update as we have lots of campaigns to touch on! We just wanted to update everyone and say...
THANK YOU FOR COMING BY OUR BOOTH AND SAYING HELLO. <3
Dragonsteel Nexus was a wonderful experience for all of us - this was our first time vending at this convention and we had no idea what to expect. I think I speak for the whole Wraithmarked crew when I say we were all blown away by the support and love y'all shared with us. We had so many of you come by, tell us where you heard of us from, what campaigns you backed, what you were looking forward to, and lots of folks who had no idea we were gonna be there! We saw some new faces (hello if you late pledged to this campaign!) and chatted with any and everyone. The whole trip was a blast!
Thank you again for making our first Dragonsteel Nexus the best convention we've ever been to!
The Wraithmarked booth! Still setting up, but lookin good!

Eira signing a copy of her book 'Run Like Hell' for a fan, me chatting (dissociating), and the true hero of the convention: the white sugar-free can in the bottom of the picture. The true savior of Dragonsteel!
Now for a campaign check-in...
We've got a couple exciting bits of news to share with you all today! First off... you may remember us mentioning an apology gift earlier in the year for the delay in fulfillment due to our printer being hacked as well as our own oversight (feel free to check out that update HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/theveneziad/posts/4441417). After discussing with Blue and the team, we've decided to include an alt-color sticker sheet! Check that out below!
As mentioned in the linked update, Wraithmarked is going to be adding an apology gift to every single book-level backer and above!
Now for the second bit of good news...
We've just received word yesterday that The Veneziad proofs have completed printing!! We are SO excited and we will absolutely be posting an update with pictures for you guys. Long time coming, but they'll be worth the wait!
Currently, they're scheduled to be sent from the printers later this week. From there, they'll be packed on a ship and sent our way!
Thanks so much for stickin' around, everyone! If we don't chat before the end of the year, we hope you're all well, safe, and enjoy this time spent with family and loved ones (or with the company of pets for the fellow introverts, here)!
