Survey smoke tests are out!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Oct 16, 2024 at 01:22:03 PM

Hey Everyone!

To those of you headed to NYCC, I hope you have a great con! I'm envious, I wish I could be there! But I'll enjoy it vicariously through you all :)

Just wanted to let you know the smoke test surveys have been sent out. BackerKit approved my survey setup, so I sent out a small number of surveys to make sure everything is functioning correctly. So be sure to check your email inbox to see if you've received one!

Once those surveys are returned, I'll get the rest sent out shortly. And as soon as all the responses are in, I'll get the digital rewards sent to your Kickstarter inbox.

The surveys will give you a chance to add on any additional rewards you're interested in, and to confirm your shipping address if you're getting physical rewards.

Thank you again for your support!

Best,
Sarah

The email saga continues!

Hey Everyone!

Ok, so the saga of the rogue email continues! After doing some digging, it looks like there actually was NOT an email sent out prematurely announcing the launch of the campaign for No Spell Lasts Forever #2 (phew!!). It just looked like there was in BackerKit because I used the template from a previous email to draft the new launch announcement email. I will definitely not be doing that again! Live and learn!

Aaaanyway, the campaign will be launching tomorrow morning! If you haven't followed it yet, you can do that here and you'll be notified when it goes live.

I'm so excited for this campaign! Eze Di Savino's art is gorgeous, and we have some really awesome rewards like three beautiful variants, buttons, stickers, and digital goodies.

I want to thank you again for your support of the first issue. Your interest in my work sincerely means so much to me!

Now, I'm off to pace around and nervously tap my feet waiting for tomorrow's launch! 

As always, you can find me on Instagram, @sarahcookewriter and @nospellcomic, and X/Twitter, @sarahcookewrite.

Have a great day!

No Spell Lasts Forever #2 Live TOMORROW
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 18, 2023 at 06:32:41 AM

Hi there,

It recently came to my attention that an email was  sent out in error a few days ago announcing the launch of No Spell Lasts  Forever #2.

I have been working with the amazing BackerKit team  to filter my email audiences on the back end and I think the email may  have somehow inadvertently gotten sent during all of that tweaking.

I'm  so sorry for the confusion! The campaign is actually launching  TOMORROW, and I will send out another email when it is actually live.

In the meantime, if you'd like to follow the campaign, you can do so here.

Thank you again for your support of Issue #1, it means so much to me!

Best, Sarah

No Spell #2 is almost here!!

Hey Everyone!

I hope your Monday is off to a good start. I'm so excited that the campaign for No Spell Lasts Forever #2 will launch this very week, on THURSDAY! If you haven't followed the campaign yet, you can do that here to be notified when it goes live.

Ok, so what can you expect in Issue #2? Well, (SPOILERS for Issue #1!), when we last saw Rosette, she had been shot in the back by one of Vic's henchmen and found herself in Hell. In this issue, she makes a bargain with the devil for a second chance at life. But the catch is, it involves doing some bad stuff to a good person. You'll get to see Rosette struggle with the moral implications of that as she tries to find a way to stay alive and earn some brownie points with her criminal boss, Gray, in the process.

I'm so excited for this campaign. Eze Di Savino's art is gorgeous, and we have some really awesome rewards. I so appreciate your support for Issue #1, and I'd love for you to check out Issue #2!

I also wanted to share another gorgeous and exciting campaign that's live right now (but just for 3 more days!). It's Samson #1, by Ben Lacy, Jhonesbas Craneo, Anton Polkhovskyi, Nikki Powers, Toby Gotesman-Schneier, and David Gallart. 

Here's a little bit about it: 

The Nazis wanted to make a Super Soldier, instead they created their greatest enemy!

Well, that’s it for now. Again, it would be amazing if you could follow the campaign for No Spell Lasts Forever #2. I appreciate the support!

Exciting comics to check out!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 09, 2023 at 06:45:06 AM

Hey Everyone!

I hope you're all having a great week. Just a quick reminder that No Spell Lasts Forever #2 launches on Kickstarter in a mere 10 days! If you haven't followed the campaign, you can do that here. Right now I have 107 followers and I'd love to reach 110!

As the countdown to launch moves along, I also wanted to share with you a few other great campaigns I think you'll enjoy.

First up is Legends of the Realm #1-4: The Lasting Burn, by Jack Holder, Evan Scale, John Robinson IV, Micah Myers, Rusty Gilligan, and Jay Mooers. 

Camriddeon is a young mage in a kingdom of  chaos. Appointed to the court of Dannisfire, a land of floating cities,  harsh magics, and enemies without and within.

Armed with his magic and his wits, Camriddeon will journey across his adopted home. Hoping to save those he can,  learn what he must. And build a new miracle for a king that desperately  needs it.

Support it here.

_____

Next up is Monster or Master #1 by John Escobales, Ka Emong, KJ Murphey, Hector Rodriguez, and Mindy Lopkin.

Frankenstein’s Monster abandoned his quest for vengeance against his  creator and has built a new life. It’s in a newspaper that he reads his  creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein has been offered an opportunity to  continue his research at a monastery in rural Japan.

Support it here.

_____

Finally, I want to share Exorcists #1 written by Tom Leveen.

Former soldier David Marshall recently lost his  beloved wife, and with her, his will to carry on. Not quite able to take  his own life, David instead sells everything that doesn't fit into the  back of his Jeep, and with his dog Mags is ready to hit the road "like  Caine in Kung-Fu."

That's until Rachel, a  daughter he didn't know he had, bursts onto the scene pursued by a  terrifying creature she insists is a demon.

Barely  escaping with their lives, David grudgingly agrees to hear more of  Rachel's story  . . . and discovers his life is far from meaningless.

Support it here.

Well, that’s it for now. Again, it would be amazing if you could follow the campaign for No Spell Lasts Forever #2. I so appreciate the support!
