July 2024 Updates :)



PRE-ORDERS & ARC SIGN UPS

Welcome back to Ren’s Scribbles: a free monthly newsletter for fans of romantic and fantasy fiction. As most of you know, I’m Lauren O’Brien. A storyteller, content creator and book lover. Being part of my newsletter means early access to reveals, bonus content and the chance to maybe have some influence on my novel!

Not a lot has happened since we last chatted, sorry to bore you! With the novel fully written & in the pits of hell (Line & copy editing), there is only so much I can do for it. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping busy with admin stuff – including, launching Amazon pre-orders!
ARC SIGN UPS

WOOOOO, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this. The sign up sheet IS LIVE!!!I’m aiming to send out the ARCS for the 2nd week of Sept, with release coming Sept 30th. I know it’s a small window, so try your best, but don’t fret if your review comes in post-release. All reviews are more helpful than none ❤

This link can also be found in my social media bios, if you wanna pass it along.

Reminders- If you filled out my BETA form & expressed interest in ARC’s, you do not have to sign up again. – If you’ve been involved in a prior round of reading, you do not have to sign up again.- If you’re a fellow member of Enchanted Pages. Sign up here for an E-ARC. Megan will be offering a limited amount of PR boxes, but they’ll likely be received shortly AFTER release. I don’t mind giving an E-ARC so you may read prior to receiving.

Kickstarter
My kickstarter is almost ready to launch! I’m currently waiting for some of the ‘goodies’ to arrive so I can add pictures & figuring out shipping (Which is harder than I anticipated)

I’ve realized I’m going to have to limit my Kickstarter to North America. Over-seas shipping is way too complicated and I know I’ll under estimate it. That being said, if you’re reading this and from another country but interested in purchasing anything from the Kickstarter, please email or DM me and we can figure something out. We’ll have to figure out shipping individually. I’ll have more details and a pre-launch kickstarter page soon, but in the mean time, here is some information below.

Kickstarter Tiers are priced between $5-$60 USD + a $250 option where you may create a character to be in the sequel. All physical tiers will be fulfilled after release, so I recommend grabbing a bundle with the E-Book if you want to read immediately. 
As a reminder – Backing a project on Kickstarter does not mean you’ll be immediately charged. Once the project is both funded & the deadline is over, all backers will be charged. The ‘funding goal’ is set at $500 USD (basically, enough money for me to order a box of books). I have also set ‘Stretch Goals’ which means if we fund those goals, you’ll be receiving extra products FOR FREE!!

Stretch Goals include:
Lvl One: I will commission a map from an artist! This will be added to the interior of both the printed (B&W) and e-book (coloured). All physical orders including any level of goodies will receive a free small poster of the coloured map for reference! 
Lvl Two: Sprayed edges! Every physical copy will come with sprayed edges, done by myself or I’ll hire it out if the demand is too high.
Lvl Three: If we hit the last goal, I’d be shocked and you guys deserve a phenomenal reward. For Lvl 3, I will commission couple art for Kiojah and Ario. This would be a fully illustrated scene from the novel. If we hit stretch goal 2, I will announce the artist & some hints about the scene. An art print will be mailed to every single physical backer & everyone will receive a digital copy. THIS WILL BE FUFILLED LATER – Probably closer to December (Merry Christmas) in order to give my artist time to illustrate it ❤
