Hello amazing backers,
I am popping in to thank you once again for supporting Origins #2 and to let you know Origins #3 is going live on September 9th. We are revealing the new Wieszczyk cover today.
The Origins #3 campaign has been awarded the Project We Love badge in pre-launch, and the first look of Cover A does not disappoint. It is a dynamic illustration featuring the school’s resident wisp, Will, by interior artist Anna Wieszczyk. Origins #3 backers will unlock exclusive tie-in items and bonuses, including original art by Anna Wieszczyk and Carla Wyzgala.
Please give it a follow if you love this cover as much as I do. We have some great Day 1 deals and bonuses that I don't want you to miss.
Notify of Launch
Have a wonderful weekend! I hope to see you next week at launch.
Stay spooky!

Hi all,
I wanted to pop over here to make sure you knew the Kickstarter for book 2 of the Mary Shelley's School for Monsters series, The Killing Stone, is live. Origins 2 was the comic exclusive of the prologue for The Killing Stone. Now, the rest of the story awaits you in a gorgeous hardback. Thank you for being part of bringing this series to life.
Take me to the campaign.

Hope you are having an amazing spooky season and that you once again return to Mary Shelley's School for Monsters.

Hello!
We've got great news. All of the Origins 2 comics have arrived in perfect condition. They look amazing, which means we will begin shipping rewards out tomorrow! We'll go as fast as we can, and I hope to have them all delivered to the post office by early next week.
I will also have the comics at San Diego Comic Con next week, so if you are attending, feel free to stop by to grab your comic. I would love to chat with you!
I will also be participating in four panels - Pathway to Libraries for Indie Comics, Men Writing Women, Monstrous Women, and Creator’s Assemble!
I am so excited to get these comics to you! And so grateful for all of you!
More soon!

La Llorona Wins Gold and survey update

Hello beasties!
I've got some amazing news out of Denver. I was able to attend the Benjamin Franklin Awards hosted by the Independent Book Publishers Association, and it turned out to be a truly amazing night. Mary Shelley's School for Monsters: La Llorona in the Machine took the highest honor that night for graphic novel. I was truly honored because I have a ton of respect for the IBPA, the judges they select, and for the other two books that took silver.
I want to thank you all because our Kickstarter supporters were critical in bringing this book to life. We so appreciate your contribution to the success of this book!
The Sea Voyage metal prints have come in and they are beautiful. Stickers, pins, magnets and prints are all on route to us. We are submitting the print ready document to the printer next week so we are right on schedule.
Finally, we have 34 peeps who need to complete their surveys. Please check your email for a reminder if you haven't completed your survey yet. Or just click on the graphic below to retrieve your survey:
I will send another update when I send out the digital copy of Origins 2 to all backers who chose either the digital or physical copy as part of their rewards.
Until then, stay spooky!
Jessica
