Hey there everyone!
Firstly, we hope you're well and your week has been lovely so far! 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!
As some of you know, Wraithmarked attended our very first BookCon located in NYC! This was our first time ever coming to this convention and it was such a wonderful trip for us. We had a BLAST and it was definitely unlike any of the other conventions we've been to. As always, y'all came out to support us, and we couldn't be more grateful. Some of you also may have gotten a couple sneak peeks! ;)
We snapped a few pictures - take a look!
We just wanted to reach out and say thank you. It's always lovely to put faces to names, chitchat about campaign progress, find out what everyone's reading, share some behind-the-scenes art, and show off early copies of our books in-person (soon to be fulfilled books)!
We'd absolutely love to go again next year, and if so, we'll be sure to shout it out beforehand! Have a great rest of your week, everyone! <3
And now... for a campaign check in!
We hope you're all well! Today, we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone how you can access your pledge. Even though we're still a ways off from fulfillment, it's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date! Using the following link, enter the email address that's attached to your Kickstarter account and you should be able to pull your pledge right up!
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]. Even though it is rare, it may take us up to 3-5 business days to respond and we do not work on holidays or weekends!
A Wraithmarked Update! And... An Upcoming Campaign!

Hey there folks!
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 have officially moved 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've already acclimated well! We now have a loading dock! (Like I said, very exciting for us)
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.
Bryce O'Connor, CEO
A Look at Full-Color Printing! Also, TEMERAIRE is getting a TTRPG from Magpie Games! And... a Wraithmarked Update!

Heya folks!
We've got a couple things to address in this update, so let's get this ball rollin'!
First up, we wanted to share Wraithmarked's first ever full-color book! WOOHOO! We wanted to give y'all a heads up at what to expect with The Scholomance as this book will also be full-color!
A little exterior shot of The Veneziad!
The Veneziad Sea Shanties!
Don't let these bright colors fool you - The Scholomance will absolutely keep to it's darker tones and ominous atmosphere!
The Veneziad Chapter Headers!
As mentioned, this is Wraithmarked's first venture into full-color printing - and we're in loooove! We're so excited to get the proofs for this campaign (still a ways off)!
If you want a closer look at this book in particular, you can check out the campaign HERE!
If you haven't read TEMERAIRE, it's so, so much fun. I ripped through every book across a couple of months a couple years ago, and will be rereading them soon ( 😉 ).
This TTRPG brings to life the theme of the series, which answers "What would the Napolienic Wars be like if there had been dragons?" There's even a quickstart for you to try for free here, if you'd like!
It's brilliant, and looks like so much fun! We know we're getting several copies, so we hope a few of you will back as well!
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!
No news is good news!

Hey there folks!
We wanted to take a moment to let you all know that everything on this project is going smoothly and we're proceeding as normal! Sometimes updates like this one are necessary as book production can be a long endeavor—on occasion, we find ourselves with little to report. Given the tumult regarding our printer getting hacked last year and the delays that followed, no news is good news in this instance.
Catch you in the next update!
A Note on our Support Availability...
There are 1-2 of us who monitor support emails. We'll introduce ourselves in a future update, but for the moment, we want to fill y'all in on our availability.
First, we work 8am-4pm EST, Monday-Friday, excluding all US Holidays. If you contact us via email ([email protected]), you can expect us to reply in 3-5 business days, though typically much sooner than that. <3
