Will Wight
Its Time for Will to Come Clean
updated
We launched yesterday at Noon Eastern and have already blown past the $700,000 mark! Thanks for being the best fans a murder of gnomes could ever want!
We’re also trying something a little different this time! For a limited time that may end up being forever, we are offering new Kickstarter inspired merch on our store! We know the books are pretty expensive, so we wanted to offer something more affordable that still has the fresh, Kickstarter smell to it (the merch doesn’t actually smell).

Read, as always, by Tervis Baldtree. The best narrator in all the land.
These will be added to the existing audiobooks in time, but we wanted everyone to be able to listen as soon as possible! They are already added to the Kindle versions! You might need to delete and then re-download the ebook for them to appear.
If you would rather read the bloopers, you may do so here - willwight.com/kickstarter-bonus-content.html

Narrated by the Voice of Cradle: Travis Baldree.
These extra scenes were funded as stretch goals during our latest Kickstarter for special editions of Cradle books 4-6. Thanks for backing!

There may even be a few hints about some of the stories that will end up making it into the new Cradle anthology book, Threshold (this is a placeholder name that may change...but probably not).
Not all questions will get answered but for a better chance, click here to submit yours ahead of the livestream: https://forms.gle/obJeJw15mfQSBrHJA
This livestream was unlocked as part of our Kickstarter for Special Editions of Skysworn, Ghostwater, and Underlord. Thank you all for making that campaign so successful! Books are starting to be distributed, so keep an eye out for tracking info via your email! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Mike at kickstarter@willwight.com.

This was in development before our animation Kickstarter and doesn't represent our upcoming feature-length animatic (though you'll recognize some of the character designs). We made this trailer to show fans, and hopefully studios, how cool a Cradle animated series could be!
So we hope you enjoy this animated concept trailer, and that it leads to much more animated Cradle down the road!
The voices heard in the trailer are that of The Voice of Cradle himself, Travis Baldree, and veteran voice actor Morla Gorrondona who will be reprising her role as Elder Whisper in our Kickstarter animatic!

Much to my surprise, the recent DLC made it even better. Don't listen to any debate, just dive in and enjoy it!

Enjoy him attempting to justify why he took Yerin out of the adaptation completely! Just kidding, please no riots.
Reminder that Will and team will be on a panel at Comic-Con from 12-1 PM this coming Thursday of Comic-Con, July 25th. Will and Jay Oliva (and possibly some other guests) will be having a Cradle Comes to Animation panel!
Location is the San Diego Convention Center in conference room 5AB. We will have a special sneak peek and previously unreleased information about the project to share! After the panel, we will have a free autograph signing session from 1:30-2:30 PM in Sales Pavilion AA25.
Apologies for the late notice! We didn't get the confirmed panel news until recently.

Spoiler alert: it's dragons. He doesn't say it here...but it is dragons.
If you're an aspiring author, this short video is for you!

Will is currently writing the Cradle "anthology" (collection of short stories) that will be the next book we release. More details, including general release date, when Kickstarter buyers will receive it, and additional content information, will come soon...once we figure it all out.
We WILL definitely have an audio version for you pristine listeners and Baldree addicts.
Thanks again to everyone who made our Animatic Kickstarter a success, which led to this book! Can't wait to see how Lindon dies this time!
Stay till the end of the video to hear the current book’s working title! We buried that in here to keep you guessing.
P.S. If you didn't purchase the book through the original Kickstarter you can still do so through our pre-order store, or just go into your original survey and select it as an add-on.

Travis Baldree will be voicing both Lindon and Eithan, since his power is too great to be contained by a single main character.
This is a fun behind-the-scenes look at how lines are recorded! Special thanks to our director Jay Oliva and his team at Lex+Otis, and our voice director Wes Gleason (look up his résumé on IMDb, because it’s awesome) for allowing us to record.
We have some awesome updates coming up during San Diego Comic Con later on this month, which we’ll be attending for the first time! More specifics to come later, when we’re allowed to share.
Really can't wait for you to see the full cast list...

(And don’t forget about the livestream before that, too! Tomorrow, Thursday, at 6 PM Eastern.)
You can still back our Cradle Animation Kickstarter here: http://kck.st/48VOHjs
As a reminder, this is for our sizzle reel project, a short trailer which will be released this summer.
Our Kickstarter to animate Cradle has now funded at over 125% of its goal! But the more money we make, the better/longer the project will be!
The campaign closes TODAY, February 9th, at 5 PM Eastern! Back it and get early access to a new Cradle book before it's too late: http://kck.st/48VOHjs
And we’re going live one more time on FRIDAY as well, to celebrate the closing of the project!

In other words, I'm writing a new Cradle book!
This is NOT a post-Waybound Cradle novel, but a collection of stories that take place before, during, and after the events of the Cradle series.
After backing any reward tier of the Kickstarter, you’ll have the option to select add-ons, which is how you purchase the backer-exclusive version of the ebook ($15) and/or audiobook ($25, performed by Travis Baldree of course).
These come with an alternate cover, additional bloopers, and a special thanks message that may or may not be an encoded cry for help.
We will release this book to general audiences, but backers get a special edition and they get it one month prior to the release of the standard version.
Fair warning: this hasn't been written yet! You'll have to wait until 2025 to consume it. Download your preferred digital version of the new story to keep, and read it (or listen to it!) one month before anyone else!

As a reminder, this is for our sizzle reel project, a short trailer which will be released this summer regardless of how the Kickstarter ends up.

Hey, you remember that "sizzle reel" we've been talking about? The short animation we've been making with Lex+Otis even before the Kickstarter, as a way to show off Cradle?
This is a piece of it! It's a first-look preview of a work-in-progress, so this isn't the final product. We haven't even hired actors yet, we just had random people read the lines.
But we thought it was super cool, so we had to share it with you as soon as possible!
The same team is making this that will be working on our Kickstarter project, so we hope you can see the direction we're going.
The "sizzle reel" is off to the animation studio already, and we're aiming to show you the fully animated final product this summer!

Can't wait to see what Cradle could end up looking like! 10 days left on our Kickstarter, and we're 75% of the way to the goal! Check it out - http://kck.st/48VOHjs
More great stuff on Lex+Otis's website! lexandotis.com
Lex+Otis have put together a super cool trailer for the animation Kickstarter, using bits and pieces from content we already have in development. I think it does a great job of showing the passion we have for this project.
If the video intrigues you, please consider checking out the Kickstarter!

Every person who looks at the Kickstarter page warms my heart, and recently my heart was frozen by an evil ice-witch. Please, help me thaw the block of ice that was once my heart and break the curse.
Thanks for reading! And, in this case, watching!

The frigid winter of Central Florida almost claimed Will. Thankfully he had the Oreo jacket to cover his legs before frostbite set in.

"What is a sizzle reel?" you ask? It's the trailer-style short animation we've had in development for a while now, including brief snippets of some of our favorite moments from Unsouled, Soulsmith, and Blackflame.
The same people animating our Kickstarter project are already hard at work creating this, and when it comes out you'll be able to see what the Kickstarter animation should look like!
So look forward to the release of the Cradle sizzle reel this summer. Featuring the voice talents of Sir Travis of the clan Baldree.
