Creatures of the In Between will be out in the world on April 11, and I’m so excited! As a thank you to anyone who has pre-ordered, I’d love to send some swag: a signed bookplate, an official bookmark and sticker, and a “Diviner’s Fortune-telling Monster Fish.” To kick things up a notch, I’ll also have a grand prize drawing!
Getting a swag pack is as easy as 1-2! Here’s how:
- Order Creatures of the In Between before April 18, 2020 (I’m including orders in the week after the April 11 launch)
- Email proof-of-purchase to creaturespreorder@gmail.com (suggested subject line: “Preorder Campaign”) and include your preferred mailing address. If you want the autographed bookplate to be personalized, please include the name it should be signed to.
And that’s it! Proof-of-purchase can be a photo/scan/screenshot of your receipt, and you can order the book from any book retailer—Indiebound, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Target, Book Depository, your local bookstore, whatever is easiest for you! A list of additional retailers selling Creatures of the In Between can be found here. Please note that orders via subscription boxes do NOT count toward the campaign (mainly because these are bulk orders by the subscription service, and not a retailer, meaning my publisher considers them “special sales,” not “regular sales.”)
Library requests can get you swag too! If you are unable to pre-order my book, you can request that your local public library order it for their collection, and as a thank you, I’ll send you a bookmark and sticker! Most libraries have a request form. When filling it out, please include the below:
