Just wanted to let you all know that Little Moss, Big Tree has been shortlisted for the 2018 SCBWI Spark Awards for the Picture Book category! THANK YOU ALL for your support of this project! We couldn't have done it without YOU!
THANK YOU ALL for the many messages asking where to leave reviews, how to get the book into your local bookstore, etc. I finally got the book up on Amazon! So, if you'd like to leave a review, you are more than welcomed to do so there!!! I am still working on getting the postcards, stickers, pins, etc. up on Amazon...if only I didn't need sleep...😴
As for getting the book into bookstores...I have no idea how to do that yet. 😬 I guess you could tell your bookstores to contact me: [email protected] Or, lemme know which distributor thing-y I need to sign up for and I'll work on doing it. Having the book in bookstores...seems like something out of a daydream at the moment. 😲🤯
For you who have not received your books yet, never fear. I will be packing more books over Thanksgiving break and I hope to ship EVERYTHING out in the next two weeks. Here is a picture of our shipping maestro, Alex, with one of the receipts from the latest batch of boxes that shipped out this week. The best thing about this whole shipping process was finding Alex! He is one of those rare people who absolutely LOVES what he does!
Also, HAPPY (early) THANKSGIVING to all of you who celebrate this holiday! I am thankful for all of you!!! 🍁🙌🍂❤️
With the help of my husband and a few friends, we've begun the process of packing 500+ orders and shipping them out! We've been working from sun up to sun down for the past five days and have almost hit the halfway mark!
We tried our very best to make sure that each order was as correct as possible but if there are any packing or shipping mistakes, please send me a message and I will correct the situation immediately!!! How does Amazon do it ?!? 🤯
The books arrived while I was at work so, it's all thanks to my wonderful husband for carrying 1904 pounds of books all by himself up to our apartment!
The boxes of books have completely overtaken our apartment!
Here is a video of me opening my first box of books!!! *Note: I just finished a very, veeeeery long shoot day so, please forgive my mildly delirious appearance.*
I will take better photos of the books once I get a spare moment. In the meantime, I will begin locking orders on November 7 and 8 (this Wednesday and Thursday).
Btw, the Pins - Option 1 have not arrived yet so, if you want your order shipped sooner rather than later, choose Option 2 instead. You can make that change in your BackerKit Survey. If you run into any issues, just send me a message and I'll take care of it!
Ooo!!! I forgot to make an update about the prints! They have also arrived and look glorious!
The Giclee Prints are on Innova Fabriano Watercolor Rag 310. A beautiful and dense paper that makes me feel like a Game of Thrones character when I'm holding it.
The Digital Prints are on Innova Soft White Cotton 280. One of my favorite papers right now!
What a Happy Monday!
