Latest Updates from Our Project:

Closing on halfway funded!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Jun 06, 2024 at 01:33:54 PM

Hi folks!

We had some great movement on the campaign this week and we're still moving faster than ever before, closing in on halfway funded!

Did you know Space Wizard also offers freelance developmental and copy editing at very affordable rates? So if you're not just a reader, but also an author, check out our "Full Book Copy Edit" and "Full Book Developmental Edit" pledge levels to bring your story some final polish! If you've read and enjoyed any of the books we publish, this is that same service, care, and attention. We're also happy to provide references of satisfied clients on request.

Not only that, we've got some amazing hardcovers, if you haven't checked them out. They're all in the "addons" section, so please take a look at the great new omnibuses! For example, you can get Carmen Loup's entire Audacity trilogy for the first time, with nine brand-new illustrations. If you enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this is very much in that same vein, and just as funny! Carmen is a very talented artist and both wrote the books and drew the cover and illustrations!



Please keep sharing the campaign with friends and family, and tell anyone you think might be interested in queer books for pride month!

Speaking of which, I wanted to share a project some of our writer friends are working on: I Spade You: An Asexual Anthology. This is a great collection of comics about being on the ace spectrum, so please check it out!



Now, here's one final fun video for backers only! So if you haven't backed the campaign yet, now's a great time. Below is the full video of J.S. Fields and Rosiee Thor chatting about the new books and stories they have coming up. There's a lot of cool stuff in store!

Almost to $5000!
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Jun 03, 2024 at 04:44:13 PM

Thank you again for your support of Space Wizard Year 3! We're already coming up on $5000 in the campaign, which is fantastic news! To put this in perspective, we're moving about twice as fast as the last two years, both in backer numbers and in total funds, which I'm hoping means we'll hit some really cool stretch goals I have planned.

Also, hello to anyone backing over the last few days who I met at ConCarolinas this weekend! I had some lovely conversations with readers, was on some interesting panels about small presses, space opera, and writing, and sold even more books than I did last year. You all are great!

If you missed my rules explanation video for The Dissolutionverse RPG, check it out here!

If you're familiar with Space Wizard, you know we sell books at a lot of markets during the year. We're going to be at 5 more in June while the campaign is running, so if you're attending, come say hi! We'll be at:

Geek and Grub Market: Raleigh NC, Sat Jun 8, 6-10 pm
The Gamer's Armory: Raleigh NC, Sun Jun 9, 1-5 pm
Heroes Con, Charlotte NC, Fri-Sun Jun 14-16
Raleigh Pride: Raleigh NC, Sat Jun 22
Fayetteville Pride: Fayetteville NC, Sat June 29

In other fun news, I'm going to have a story published this summer in a new anthology title, I Want That Twink Obliterated! which is a collection of short stories like golden age pulp serials, but with lots of queer content! I'm going to try to secure some copies to handsell at markets, but in the meantime, go support the creators and preorder your copy right here!


That's all for now. Keep spreading the word to family and friends who might want some amazing queer books in Pride Month! Until next time!

The Dissolutionverse RPG explanation with William C. Tracy
almost 2 years ago – Fri, May 31, 2024 at 07:10:47 AM

Hello folks! Here's our last introductory video, this time with me, William C. Tracy, talking about my new RPG, based on the Dissolutionverse series, a science fantasy with music-based magic! Play as one of eleven species, craft spells from your imagination, and use d8 dice in press-your-luck rolls to succeed at challenges! 
Want to be a beta tester? You can do that in the campaign!

A great first day!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, May 30, 2024 at 07:20:05 PM

Hello folks, and thanks so much for backing Space Wizard Year 3! We're over 20% funded on the first day (so far)!

We'll be at ConCarolinas in Charlotte NC this weekend, so if you're there, come see us in person! I'll also be running a game of my new Dissolutionverse RPG, so this is a great way to test it out. I'll be posting a video with the explanation of how to play tomorrow night.

We've got a lot of great stuff in this campaign, so please check it out, and remember, if you back by the end of day tomorrow, you can get two free books and a Space Wizard pin added to your rewards!

We have another anthology for you this year, and this will be the final entry in the collection! So make sure you get stories of hot sapphic power with Fiery Deeps!


Moving over to BackerKit this year has been a great process with a very welcoming community. BackerKit is still pretty small (compared to other crowdfunding sites) so please take a look around at the other great projects! For example, if you're looking for more awesome queer content, A.K. Faulkner has one more day left in their campaign to fund the audio version of the latest book in their series. But you can start with the very first book in this award-winning, X-Men meets American Gods fantasy series in their campaign!



Alright, that's all I have for now, but please keep talking about and sharing the campaign. We have some great stretch goals this year, and I'm looking forward to bringing you some amazing stories from Space Wizard Science Fantasy!

Until next time!
