I'm usually pretty indifferent about the idea of having pymary ability but this - I'd relish the chance to do this. Just insert a wedge into a crowd and part them like the Red Sea.

Okay, so. Announcement. I was instructed not to be super specific yet, but after many years of shying away from the idea I've finally signed with a publisher! They are legitimate, well-respected, and I am comfortable I have made the right choice for Unsounded. They will only be printing the books - I retain the rights, and nothing will change about the digital distribution of the first book, or the sequel book going forward.

It's fairly common these days, I guess, for even publishers to crowdfund initial printings so that's what you'll see happening shortly. In a little over a month, I think. I should have a link to a campaign page you can follow tomorrow. Since someone else is publishing this, I have had very little to do with putting this campaign together. This is good, because I'm busy, but also frustrating of course because I'm kind of a control freak. But it looks like they've done a good job.

In any event, I wanted to announce this as soon as I could for you, Patrons, because there will be some very limited commission slots available, and I know people want those. So make sure you follow the campaign page so you'll be alerted as soon as it's live, and can snag what you want! And it won't be discussed on the campaign page, but you know I'll draw you whatever naughty nonsense your dark heart desires. I mean, or puppies. Your call.

I'll update with that link tomorrow! I think!

"You got promoted to the Brute Squad?" "I AM the Brute Squad!" Also, congratulations on the deal and looking forward to the funding campaign.

A publisher!!! Exciiiiting! It couldn't have happened to a better comic!!!! I'll need to follow closely! And I'll need to be obsessive about it lol.... I want one of those high tiers!!!! What specifically is Elka using to move everyone here? Just the moment of the crowd itself, pushed to the side to clear the stairs instead of forward? I love the kid there enjoying the ride!

cydonia

congrats on the publishing deal Ashley !! 💓

Stillpoint

She's playing Mancala! I love that game!

Stretch Andrews

Congrats Ashley! Very exciting to see that you've found someone you think is a good pick to work with! Now my 1st Editions of Volumes 1-3 will skyrocket in value! More seriously, I'll have to keep an eye out and try to score a commission after all these years, I kick myself for not getting one years ago when I had a chance!

Rifter

That's so awesome, Ashley! I can't wait to buy aaalllll the print copies!! This may be a dumb question, but where should we look for the campaign page? Will you post it here? I don't have twitter, FB, or any of that, but I lurk in the discord and obviously reddit haha.

Kathleen Smith

Congratulations!! I hope you are also planning some well-deserved time for yourself... This is an amazing milestone you have achieved in completing this story! And I will be watching eagerly for the Kickstarter!

Nikaleles

ASHLEEEEEY I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOOOOOU~ i know that any publisher that meets your standards will handle unsounded with respect. I will be buying all the things as soon as I get the chance. p.s. DO THE ART CONTEST. i need to say goodbye to book 1 with a painting or something~

Benjamin

Congratulations. This sounds really exciting. I'll be sure to get a copy.

Spen Cyrrh

get the bag etc.. i will buy what is made.

Gaby

Congratulations! I was hoping that you were about to tell us that your book was being animated like Arcane :) That is a dream I have had for a long time. I'll be watching out for the kickstarter.

Spider

You mean I can once again request Elka Looking Smug as my campaign bonus sketch?! You are a kind and benevolent god.

Finally, I've been looking foreward to this for a long time

JarJar

Oh HELL yeah! I hope a new publisher means more people hear about Unsounded!!! This comic deserves all the praise it gets

Malik M.L. Williams

OUTSTANDING! Congratulations on securing a publisher. I will have to watch like a hawk for that link. I’m thinking this just the Next Big Step, but certainly not the last for you and Unsounded

Jeremy Ball

That is amazing news. I used to chat with another web comic artist when she still streamed, and her deal with a euro publisher was what gave her the financial freedom to do what she wanted to do. I hope you get the same sense of security out of it. <3

Anon

Thank god (or Ssael(?)) I’ve been wanting physical copy for years now and having it available in brick and mortar stores- it’s win/win and if publishers are indeed not strange in their contract, it’s a trifecta win!

Hagelslag

Love that squishes are now a well known thing and are used to celebrate

Renee

Was hoping that the announcement was a publisher. Very happy for you, and eagerly await the time I can give you more money

Tony Wilkey

Can wait to give you my monies for beautiful books. Congrats!

Taerjaga

As cool as that move is, I would think it would be a lot easier to go over rather than through!

Cassie

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited to throw money at you for new books <3

Velasco

Exciting news! And man, having the ability to just sliiiiiide people to the side would be so good.

Allie V. Movement

Oh wow congratulations!! I'm so excited you found a publisher that you feel comfortable with! That'll certainly save you a ton of work printing and shipping books. More time for art! My first eds sustained some water damage. I'll probably get fresh copies of whatever gets printed for this run! Take all my money!

PantheraTigeris

Whoop whoop!!! So excited for you Ashley!! Can't wait to support the campaign!

Josh

If this was D&D, that spell could be called Elka’s Personal Space. Or maybe Mass Cow Catcher.
