At least on our end, for now!
All Alia Terra items have been sent or distributed. If there are any issues (or questions about any of our projects) don't hesitate to reach out on social media or at [email protected].
A few notes:
Thank you. I can't say it enough. You did this. We are so happy.
We really need sales of this book to continue; if you enjoy it, please spread the word to new circles. Here's the link to share: https://www.atthisarts.com/product/alia-terra (hashtag #AliaTerra)
Next up is Gigi Ganguly's One Arm Shorter Than The Other, 05 April. Keep an eye on our social media - I really love this gentle, uncanny, multi-genre story of a mysterious repair shop in Delhi and highly recommend it.
I'm also really grateful for pre-orders of (or shares regarding!) my own upcoming novel, Night Ivy. Very proud of this, and think if you like Alia Terra, you should enjoy. It's got my whole heart in it. https://www.atthisarts.com/product/night-ivy/
Thanks so much! We'll be in touch - and as always, thanks for supporting indie fiction.
♥ - Emily and the team at Atthis Arts.

It's here!
It is a hard time for many, but today, we, and our community, will be joyfully sharing Eastern European joy. We hope that people who are hurting receive something that they need from Ava's healing stories. Thank you, thank you so much again. And wishing you a happy Mărțișor. (Have you picked your old lady?)
We hope you've enjoyed the books and hoards and we hope that you'll tell people about them. We'd be grateful for you to share any of the following links:
Any rewards that did not include a hardcover are in the mail
Some in those first shipments may receive the bookplate separately; keep an eye out for a card
Hardcovers are overdue to arrive to us; we'll get them out as soon as we have them
Same with Atthis Arts website orders; if people order a hardcover, we'll get it out as soon as we can
And let's be clear. This was a lot of sales to make of a short fairy tale book in a difficult time, so there is no question:
This book happened because of you.
- Emily and the Team at Atthis Arts

Rather than go on about my excitement over this, I am just going to share it with you. Alia Terra: Stories from the Dragon Realm is complete! (Fair warning, there are gonna be a lot of exclamation marks in this post.) Thank you again, thank you so much - for making this possible. It really is only because of you.
Your digital rewards will be arriving through BackerKit. If you did not fill out your BackerKit survey in July, please look for this email or ask us to resend. It's not really a survey, it's a checkout, and we need it to send you your books. If you've moved since then or changed emails, let us know that too.
Digital Rewards
Any ebooks or digital hoards should have been just sent to you via BackerKit. We are so pleased with everything and hope you are too! (I think you'll see how much love went into these.)
Print Books
Print books (with signed bookplates!) and physical hoard items will be shipped once we get the books, hopefully by the end of the month. Please fill out your BackerKit "survey" so we know where to ship it. (We hope you'll tag us in some pics! Our social media links are on the website, but generally @atthisarts)
Surprises
There are surprises! First, a bonus story, "The Dragon's Old New Hat" has been gifted to you by an anonymous backer. We hope you enjoy!
And there is another bonus story, a gift from a little friend you may notice in Alia Terra, who also has a story to tell. Find it on Ava's website.
More Dragons!
Thanks also to our wonderful supporters, we were able to make an audiobook of The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen. We are in love with Ryan H. Reid's heartfelt and entertaining reading (I call it a performance but it's both) of this sweet, all-ages story, and hope you will enjoy it.
Business.
Our small press that could is ready to fly. We have struggled so much these past couple years, but we believe we can get there with these new releases and the help of our community. If you like what we are doing and have the energy to share it out, we'd be so appreciative. The book releases on 01 March, but the e-book will be available now for download if people buy a print book from our website. And reviews help a ton. Here are the links!
More fun, queer, indie fantasy. (Yes?)

Alia Terra is going awesome! The book is awesome, the hoards are awesome, and we have some surprises, too. We really think you'll enjoy. : ) And we'll be back soon with an update on all of that. Shipping addresses are locking very soon - so if you've moved and are receiving shipped items, please update them now.
In the meantime, Emily just launched a very directly titled campaign: Emily wants a hardcover! where you can read her bitastic, gender-diverse story of Mages, plant magic, friendship, and intrigue, starting at a dollar, and help her print the novel as a beautiful hardcover.
Thanks so much for backing and letting people know (that helps so much). We appreciate you! (And more on Alia Terra soon.)
