Hi everyone!
We hope you’re all doing well and have had a wonderful week! We’re gearing up for a lot of exciting announcements later this month, so it’s certainly been a busy time at LitPins&Co! 👀
VENGEFUL NEWS
Speaking of exciting announcements, you’ve likely seen that we have some exciting news to share regarding our Vengeful special edition. All will be revealed at 11am tomorrow, but for now I just want to remind anyone who wants a copy but missed out the first time to join our waitlist! Trust me, you’ll definitely want to be signed up, and the sooner the better! 👀
CG DREWS UNSIGNED SETS
On the topic of waitlists, we want to give you all an update on our CG Drews unsigned sets! Hannah has been working through the waitlist and has now contacted everyone who joined prior to March 7th with a chance to purchase an unsigned set. If you joined the waitlist before this date, please be sure to check your emails (and junk/spam folders)! You have until March 31st to claim your set before more people on the waitlist are contacted. Please reply to your email even if you’re no longer interested in a set, as we have a very long waitlist and the sooner we know, the sooner we can get the sets into the hands of fans!
If you’re wondering if it’s still worth joining the waitlist, the answer is yes! We always reserve some books in case of damages, so if these are not required or if there are any returns or cancellations, then there is a chance of further signed sets becoming available. In this event, we will go to the start of the waitlist and offer the first people on there the chance to purchase a signed set, or to upgrade their unsigned order to a signed one. If any unsigned sets then become available, either through others upgrading their orders to signed or due to cancellations or returns, then Hannah will keep working through the waitlist on a first come first served basis to offer more of you the chance to purchase a set. Essentially, if you want a chance of getting a set then we highly recommend joining the waitlist ASAP, as even if we cannot offer you a set right now then this doesn’t mean we’ll never be able to!
ART REVEALS
We do, however, have plenty of special editions which are still available for pre-order! There are plenty of art reveals in the works, and this week we revealed the endpapers for our special edition of A Market of Dreams and Destiny and one of the seven overlays included with our edition of An Education in Malice!
We’re obsessed with these pieces, and we hope you are too! The endpapers for A Market of Dreams and Destiny are by Laurent Reis, and the overlay for An Education in Malice is by Therese. Both of these editions are available to pre-order now, but stock is limited so be quick!
Keep an eye on our Instagram over the next couple of months, as we have a crazy amount of art ready to be revealed and we’re so excited to show you all!
DISCORD
If you want sneak peeks at these art reveals, then our Discord server is the place for you! Not only do we regularly share early hints and glimpses at upcoming projects, it’s also a lovely way to connect with other like-minded book lovers. We’re planning some fun events for our Discord community, such as watch parties and game nights, so be sure to join the server now and keep an eye out for more news soon!
You can join the Discord here 🥰
NEW PRODUCTS
Speaking of early glimpses at upcoming projects - how about a look at some upcoming additions to our shaker keychain collection? 🤭
We’re aiming to have these keychains ready for Megacon Live Birmingham later this month, and they will then be available in an upcoming merch drop later this year!
NEW TEAM MEMBERS!
Finally, we wanted to take this opportunity to officially welcome our two newest team members, Elizabeth and Roo!
Elizabeth has joined Jamie and Buttercup on the art team! You’ve already seen some of their work, as they were involved in the Vampirates merchandise drop and designed the ship art print, the ship stickers, and the Darcy sticker. She’s also begun work on some elements of our special editions and on future merchandise drops, so keep an eye out for more of her work very shortly!
Roo is working more behind the scenes and is now responsible for much of our research here at LitPins&Co! He’s a super fast reader (seriously, it’s so impressive) so will be in charge of reading all of the books we’re interested in creating editions of, and will then be assisting Jamie in elements of the art direction. You’ve likely already spotted him in our Discord - if you’ve wondered why they’ve been redacting all of the books they’re reading, it’s because we haven’t announced the special editions yet!
Both him and Elizabeth will also be getting involved in events and packing as needed, so you’ll likely see them both more on social media going forwards. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome! We’re so excited to be able to grow our team and be able to become more streamlined in our process, and it’s all down to your support so thank you 💛
That’s all from us today! Have a great week :)
- The LitPins&Co Team 💛
