They've arrived!
Our hard copies of Growing Up on the Spectrum got here yesterday—all 700 pounds of them!
We had to share a few photos of the process…
…including Tess getting her first look at the graphic novel she's spent the last decade working on. 🫨
It's absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. 🤩
We can't wait to get it into your hands!
It will be a few weeks until these beautiful babies ship.
Our biggest event of the year—the four-day 40th anniversary weekend of MisCon—is coming up later this week. 🎪 Tess has to sign literally hundreds of copies of Growing Up on the Spectrum. ✒️ Jayel and Lynsey need to apply Kickstarter-exclusive gold seals to hundreds more. 🪙
After that, we'll sort, pack, and finally ship. 📦 It will be quite a process!
But that process starts right now, and we are so stoked to give you a few peeks behind the scenes! We promise to keep you posted on every step we take. 🤝
In the meantime, stay tuned for more… 📻 We're planning an official LAUNCH PARTY at the Missoula Public Library on August 15! 🥳
We'll get the details to you as soon as they're confirmed.
Your friends at Oneshi Press,

"Growing Up on the Spectrum" BTS printing photos!

Hello there, Growing Up on the Spectrum backers!
We received some behind-the-scenes photos from our printer of Growing Up on the Spectrum being manufactured! 
Our printer, Color Vision, is just as excited as we are about Growing Up on the Spectrum, so they showed us what the printing process looks like.
It's rare in the printing and publishing industry to receive the inside scoop from a manufacturer, and these photos are proof that this bookis making a splash everywhere it goes!
Just look at those gorgeous, crisp pages and shiny exteriors! We love it! And we thought you might enjoy a peek at what printing a graphic novel looks like, too.
We expect these to be shipped to us as soon as they're assembled, and then they'll be on their way to you, backers!

Hey there, neurolovelies!
Here's the latest update on Growing Up on the Spectrum! 📰
The printed copies of Growing Up on the Spectrum are being printed right now, and we project that they will ship to us by early next week.
There are a lot of books going into production—more than we've ever printed before for a book of this size! So it's going to be a process.
In the meantime, we absolutely could not wait to show off the STICKERS that just arrived an Oneshi Press HQ! 🤩
Check out These Beauties! 💖
But since we're not ready to fulfill yet, we just couldn't bring ourselves to open the bags. They look so nice and cozy in there!
Do you see one that you ordered in here?
Are you as excited as we are? 🥳

A Fulfillment Update
5 months ago

Hello, Growing Up on the Spectrum backers!
We're writing with a quick update on our fulfillment schedule:
1) Ordering Printed Books! 📚
It takes a while to get a finalized book of this length together, but we're pleased to say that after creating the new pages you unlocked during the campaign, discussing printing possibilities with our production liaison, and making a few final decisions, the book will be off to the printer this week!
That means we should have the books in hand in late May or early June, depending on how quickly they can be produced and shipped to us. We will let you know when they arrive, along with some mouth-watering photos of the books themselves!
2) Audiobook in Production! 🎧
The script for the audiobook has been approved, and recording will commence this week! Then we'll send the audio files off to an editor for cleaning up. We expect to have the audiobook ready to send out by mid-June.
3) Animatic Up Next! 👀
The animatic version of Growing Up on the Spectrum will begin production as soon as the recording of the audiobook is completed. This one will take a bit longer to put together, as animation of any kind is a time-consuming process. But fear not! We will keep you informed as we move forward.
4) Stickers ordered! 🧠
We placed our orders for stickers and temporary tattoos last week and expect them to arrive in the next two weeks! We can't wait to see these lovelies in person, and we'll proudly share photos when they arrive.
Thanks again for being part of this epic journey with us!

Digital Rewards Are Here! (Mostly!)

Hello, and happy Autism Awareness Month, folks! ♾️
We're wrapping up this important month with two piecees of huge news for our backers:
1) Digital rewards have just been delivered to your email inboxes! 📩
This includes the digital (readable) version of Growing Up on the Spectrum, as well as most* other digital add-ons!
📥 Check your email right heckin' now to find a link from Oneshi Press via BackerKit. Inside, you'll find a link to your personalized downloads. 👉 Or, just click here to log in and find it!
*When we say "most," we mean all digital rewards except for the GUTS audiobook, animatic, and audio commentary. Those three rewards will take somewhat longer to put together, but make no mistake: we're getting them all done as fast as we can, while still making sure they're of the highest quality.
In the meantime, please enjoy your digital readable copy, backer milestone bonus comics, personalized thanks on the website and in the book, add-on comics and anthologies, and the tree we've planted in your honor!
In honor of all those who backed at high levels and/or added a donation on to their pledge, we've donated $5 per person to the fight against glioblastoma. Commonly known as glioblastoma multiforme or GBM, glioblastoma is a highly malignant form of cancer that affects the brain and spinal cord.
The donation was made in honor of Lisa Langston, Tess's mother, who sadly passed away due to glioblastoma around the time Tess began working on Growing Up on the Spectrum.
We believe it's important to direct attention and funding to researching diseases that hurt people. Real diseases! Autism is a difference—not a disease.
Thank you for helping us support this important research!
Stay tuned! 📻 We have more digital rewards to send out, and we're THIS CLOSE to placing orders with our book printer, sticker maker, keychain manufacturer, temporary tattoo folks, and more!
Thanks again for being amazing supporters of indie comics, neurodiversity, and all things awesome! 🙏
Your friends at Oneshi Press,
Jayel & Lynsey 🧔👩🦰
