Launch Day is Here!
🕑 Added 2025-08-18 04:01:02 +0000 UTCToday is Release Day!
I've scheduled this as a special announcement, set to go off just after midnight, and hopefully it works :)
Our regular chapter will go off at 7am EST, and both these spaces will contain the following information, which will be updated over the course of release day.
Without all of your support, this story would never have made it to the point of being published by Mango and Podium. Now, of course, we have a new hill to climb. If we want to get wonderful versions of the entirety of the series in audio, paperback, and ebook, Guild Mage needs to be a financial success.
We have nearly seven thousand followers here, and every one of you can help to make this the absolute best release day possible. Honestly, if we got seven thousand people reading on KU and rating/leaving a review, it would be an incredible amount of momentum.
Specific things you can do:
- If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can download the ebook of Guild Mage: Apprentice for no additional charge. I would particularly recommend you read the extended and rewritten ending of the book, which turns the Day of Blood into a more fitting climax for a volume, and includes an entirely new fight in the Stockyards of Whitehill.
-If you think it would be awesome to have a paperback copy of Guildmage on your bookshelf, you can grab one on Amazon! I'd love to see pictures of the first volume on people's shelves as they come in, and I'm going to make a discord channel for posting them. We've also been thinking that we might do a drawing for signed prints of some of Sarah's guildmage art, to go to a randomly selected number of people who post the pics.
If you use Amazon to read / purchase Guild Mage: Apprentice in any form, you can leave a review and rate the book.
Reviews and ratings help our visibility A LOT. Honestly, any interaction on Amazon at all helps us, and the more we get on day one, the better.
- If you want to experience the book in a new way, you can go to Audible and maybe use some of your credits to grab our amazing audiobook, featuring the talents of Kristin James and Fajer Al-Kaisi. Again, if you do get the book through Audible, please rate and review there! The more visibility we get, the better. Note that the Audible release is Tuesday, 8/19.
- You can rate and review the book on Goodreads. This is entirely free: you don't need to buy anything to do it.
- You can vote up and comment on my announcement posts on Reddit! Again, this generates good word of mouth and increases visibility. I'll update this space with links once the posts are live.
- You can share and comment on my announcement posts on Facebook and Bluesky. The more people we have sharing, the more eyes will see be brought to this release. Again, I'll update this space with link to specific posts once they're live.
Whatever you do, thank you. Every little bit of interaction helps us on our way to a successful launch.
