Lycan: Solomon’s Odyssey Updates 9/11/22
Hey everyone! Hope you had a good week. Sorry for the delay in posting. It has been...crazy to say the least. I had Dragoncon last weekend, and I had to prep for it the week before that and then when we got back I had already launched the Kickstarter so I have been just grinding away at that. The work never ends!
Let's get to our updates!
Chapter 1
We've had a couple conventions since last speaking! We had the Maryland Pop & Horror con...it didn't go great. Most vendors did not make their table cost back...myself included. I met some great people along the way and made some great contacts so it wasn't a total bust! I just know not to go there next year is all.
Dragoncon was the launch of the Kickstarter! Didn't get to do as much promotion as I would have liked but I did get to have a book selling there and we actually sold 24 books in a very limited amount of time which was really cool! One day I may even sell books in the vendor hall...but not until I get a sturdier vehicle...
Chapter 2
The pages are all colored! They are ALMOST all lettered! We also got the final 2 covers for the book from the amazingly talented Matthew Sutton!
The Kickstarter has launched! If you haven't already checked it out you can do so by going to lycanbook.com and if you could share it with everyone you know, that would be fantastic!
There was a lot of anxiety regarding this Kickstarter. Still is honestly. Not sure why, but this campaign is really hitting me hard. I think moving forward I will lower the amount I ask for by a lot so that way I don't have to worry as much. Maybe I'll shoot for like...4k or something like that.
I have been really grinding to try to make it as successful as possible. Podcast appearances, social media posts every day, and collaborating with other creators. Not to mention just directly messaging people and trying to get it out at conventions. There's a few stores in my local area I need to contact as well.
That's all I have for right now. I will keep you posted as we go on! Thanks so much for your interest and your support! Take care, and have a great week!
