Cemetery Dance Production Updates

UPDATE on SHIPPING: (5/29/2025)

UPDATE on NEVER FLINCH:  (5/29/2025):

The first copies of NEVER FLINCH starting going out yesterday (5/28) and will finish next week! (we started packing them on Tuesday, the pub date)

UPDATE on THE STAND: (5/29/2025)

The Stand Gift Editions started to ship on 4/14/25 and we are just past halfway, likely shipping through June, so please be patient!  There are 4000 to ship.  You’ll get an email when yours is in the actual process of shipping.  We are doing them in batches of 300-500 or so printing labels and that is when you get the email BUT the tracking won’t show movement until the box actually goes out the door (see FAQ below).  The traycases for the Artist Editions will follow this summer!

Q) Why does my tracking information say “Label Created?
A) In the past we used to print the labels in batches AS we packed them but now we pint them ALL AT ONCE to save us time.  Once the labels are printed, emailed are sent with tracking information.  FOR EVERYONE.  So if we have 100s or even 1000s of orders, it takes us days or weeks to ship them all so many will see “Label Created” when they click on their tracking UNTIL their package goes out the door and then it will show movement.

Q) Why is my Artist Edition waiting on a Lettered Edition signature?
A) Our printer has a minimum run they are willing to print, so we frequently have to simultaneously print the lettered and the artist editions. This can lead to delays on some artist editions. We request your patience in providing the absolute best product possible!

Q) What does “pre-printing check” mean?
A) Many of these projects were previously deemed “Ready for Printer” but they were designated as such long before the current team’s time. In an effort to avoid errors or potential miscommunication, one last proofing/design check may be required, simply to satisfy our paranoia! You’ve waited this long, now we want to make sure you are fully satisfied with your final product.

Q) Why aren’t all the “ready for printer” things actively printing?
A) We are working on catching our projects up, item by item, but it does take time! We had several years of production difficulties while we continued to prepare projects for printing. Our preferred printer is small (tiny compared to the previous one!) and can only handle so many tasks at a given time. Their quality, however, is great. We are chipping at the block of prepped projects but if you have inquiries about specific ones, please feel free to contact us!

Q) Where are the products not on the list?
A) The list is NOT all-encompassing. Other publisher books, grab bags, bonus items, etc., are not going on this list. Other items have not been announced, or may have simply never been added. Some items may even be printing but not yet mentioned on the list. We will attempt to continue adding and updating so that the page is better informative. Please reach out with questions for items not contained here and we’ll try to get it added.
