To Bargain With Mortals: The Cover Graveyard

The long road from our first design meeting to our final cover, all in here!

Bindery refers to a studio, workshop or factory where sheets of (usually) paper are fastened together to make books, but also where gold and other decorative elements are added to the exterior of books, where boxes or slipcases for books are made and where the restoration of books is carried out.

Can you believe To Bargain With Mortals has been out in the world for a month? It feels surreal, but she's really out there, all over the world.

From me to you:
First up, I just posted the public release of a previously subscriber-only podcast episode! An interview/intro with R.A. Basu! Listen to this episode of Reader Tangents here or wherever you get your podcasts.

For subscribers, I just posted one of the coolest things I've ever shared on Bindery: A complete retrospective of To Bargain With Mortals. Every single step of how it went from an idea to a published novel over the course of four and a half years.

See that post here.
And finally on my end, I have one of our last VIP Influencer mailer boxes from promoting TBWM to give away to one of you! You can see a breakdown of what's in the boxes we designed here!

To win this box, just tell me if you've had a chance to read TBWM yet or if it's in good company on your TBR!

U.S. only.

If you haven't purchased a copy of To Bargain With Mortals yet, today is a great day to buy it! Bookshop.org currently has Free Shipping!

I'm collecting pictures of Bargain in bookstores all across the country! If you see it out in the wild, I'd love it if you could pop a photo in discord or email it to me at business@emmaskies.net.

Happy one month and may TBWM have many more happy months to come! <3
