I know so many people who are doing so much amazing work!
There's always the wonderful @katerookery.bsky.social! She's always encouraging and honest. And that means a lot in this world!
Then there's the entirety of @the-book-bazaar.com. Everyone worked so hard on their projects!
#LiftToTheSky
Everyone who filled out their survey should now have their anthology items (or if it's physical, it's on the way). If you haven't done your survey yet, please do! There's 16 of you that need to fill out the survey โค๏ธ
Got a few anthology drop ship orders out today... About 12 physicals, and all ebooks (check your email!) Will keep working on getting them all done!
Maybe you should peep Printopia then :D You would still be "on your own" but not as on your own to be stranded. The BackerKit discord is p helpful!
Just a few stragglers left!
Hey psst maybe you should consider rolling with us? We're going to be Oct 29th through Nov (I think it's 12th don't quote me on that ๐ซฃ). Or maybe Printopia? That one starts September 10th. www.backerkit.com/c/collection...
Don't tell meeeeee tell William haha I'm sure he understands
Hey psst have you heard? The summer bonanza will be coming end of May into June! This is a smaller TBB event meant for people who can't make the BIG one in Oct/Nov. You can sub to get notified so you don't miss out!
The Book Bazaar 2025 Anthology surveys are out!! Make sure to check your email or log into Backerkit to get that completed so we can get your anthology out to you!
If you want to be part of TBB in late 2026, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter! You can do so at the bottom of our page here: the-book-bazaar.com
Ideally, we'll have 2 events per year so those whose publishing calendars don't line up with the fall Bazaar can participate in June instead! So this smaller event you can think of as a "test".
While we're waiting for the 2025 anthology proof to get here (I heard it's coming today ๐) just wanted to let you know @wctracy.bsky.social will be taking the reins for a small summer event in June! Don't panic if you wanted to participate... The BIG event will still be coming in late 2026!
New colors, who dis ๐
New anthology launching later this year ๐
Adorable Assistants: Tails Behind the Art will be launching with @the-book-bazaar.com this fall.
Follow along for updates!
