Just arrived Event Horizon‘s F&Gs. If you are new to what these are, these are the “Folded & Gathered”, the books in their printed but unbound form. This is a picture of their folded signatures and covers (not affixed to their hardcovers yet). They just need their binding (corset as I think of it) to get their book shape. This is wonderful progress in our book making journey. The book official publishes Dec 15, 2024.
Read the stellar things Kirkus Review has to say about Event Horizon. Full review here.
A thank you from Stephanie.

The interview that takes you through the layers of some Event Horizon stories, and working with Magnus Arts agency for stellar art. Two Geeks Talking Interview with Kurt Sasso, with Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos and Chris Allo.
Within the first hour of launching on the crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter, we reached our initial funding goal for Event Horizon: Stories of No Turning Back. We are so grateful for this early enthusiasm that has us going over 8K strong, still with 20 days to go. This 240 page full color genre-bending book that combines prose, comics, canvas work and photography is a grand undertaking, and this “kickstart” certainly gives us that needed push for full publication. Do check out our campaign and consider joining us, whether the book excites your interest, you’re a fan of the array of artists in here, or supporting independent artists and presses is a meaningful endeavor for you. We are live until May 10th: every pledge counts. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theninagalaxy/event-horizon-stories-of-no-turning-back
Our first Event Horizon focused interview is up with StoryComic and the wonderful Barney Smith. Gives you a sneak peek into the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and its rewards, which are the discounted and exclusive offer preorders for the book. Always fun to window shop before the big event on 4/9 11amEST.
We also discuss the process of finding new artists for a collection, and what Stephanie learned about herself as a writer in the process.

We took our next big step closer to our Kickstarter for Event Horizon… we made our Kickstarter prelaunch page public on the actual site of Kickstarter! This means the project is officially up on Kickstarter as ready to launch soon, kind of like rolling out the rocket to the launch pad to get ready for launch day. We’re officially a project about to launch for others to discover.
Notice anything? YES, we are launching as a PROJECT WE LOVE! This means Kickstarter thinks we got a pretty cool concept going on, and they gave us their seal of “LOVE THIS, LET’S GO GET THIS FUNDED!”
Many of you preregistered on our pre-launch page already, thank you! If you like clicking, you can also click on the Kickstarter page to be notified there too if you don’t mind a few megaphones in your email box on 4/9. Getting followers to this page helps build excitement in their algorithm and also signals to other people on the fence about whether to back: “Hey, what’s this crowd forming over here, let me go check out this project”. To get our book swag though, be sure you logged in our prelaunch page at januspointpress.com/eventhorizon as I can’t see who signs up for prelaunch on Kickstarter.
Either way you roll, see you there soon and…
SPREAD THE WORD!
