Hi all,

I'd like to run a preorder campaign for Always Human season 1, to encourage people to get the book. This book doing well would be very good for my career and could open up future puboishing opportunities for me, so, uh, I want to do everything I can to help it sell :)

Here are my current thoughts:

I want to send out signed bookplates, possibly with a postcard print or a bookmark, or anything else cool that I can print relatively cheaply and fit in a standard size letter, so postage doesn't cost too much.

I might need to put a cap on the number of these I send out, for financial reasons? I don't know how many people will pre-order and I cannot afford to send thousands of international letters.

I also want to send out digital goodies (which won't have to be capped because sending them will be free~)
Obviously I'll send out the soundtrack to everyone who orders the book.

And I might include a bonus comic or two as digital extras (we'd originally been hoping to include some extra content in the printed book, but for page count reasons there will be very little of this - but I can still send out extra content digitally!)

What sort of extra comics would you be interested in seeing?
Since the book will be season 1 it should be related to season 1 (so nothing post-series).

I was thinking more Starlight Soldiers? I've got a couple of ideas for Sunati and Austen playing the game together.

And maybe a belated birthday date with Austen taking Sunati out?

Anything else you'd like to see? Any prompts for bonus comic content? Or any other types of preorder goodies I haven't mentioned that you think should exist?

Please share ideas! And then I'll take them and discuss with Little Bee Books and hopefully get a great preorder campaign going :)


(Also thanks for all the support so far!!! I am vibrating with excitement alskdfjalskdfjalskdfj THANK YOU)

I like all of your suggestions! Prints or signed books (or doodle/sketch) would be awesome, but I also see the shipping problem. Maybe lineart of Austen and Sunati for folks who would enjoy coloring them themselves? Could be digital, too.

I'd take any extra Always Human-related thing, and your proposals of Austen/Sunati scenes (along with all the previous comments, and big up for the wallpaper pack!) are very exciting! Signed bookplates would be cool too, although I understand it has to be capped somehow. I was also thinking about potential research sketches you may have drawn for outfits, facial expressions, mods, etc which, if this is doable, could be good additional digital content, as some kind of small extra artbook. Anyway, I did not know my enthusiasm for this preorder could grow even more, yet here we are :D Woohoo!

Thank you so much!! A digital sketchbook is a great idea I really appreciate it (I don't think I have any new sketches that haven't been shared online somewhere, but I can certainly gather them all up in sketchbook form which would be neat.)
