Hello again to all our faithful book campaign supporters!



Thanks to you all for your patience on the book front. We are off to the printers next Monday 7th September.



You can freely blame our delays on a combination of my perfectionism, and Australia being so damn far away from everything. Every page has had to be Fedexed back and forth between our paper engineer (New York) and myself (Australia), in some cases a number of times, to make sure we have all the mechanisms working perfectly.



We've included several new pop up pages in the book too (double spreads), and they’ve all had to be designed from scratch and approved. But I’ve got to say, they are looking beautiful, I’m very happy we included them. And I couldn’t be happier with the book overall at this stage, it’s going to be something special.



Next stop, publishing land!



Our publishers are called INSIGHT EDITIONS, you can check them out in the link below.

Insight are responsible for the pop up books for Harry Potter and Game Of Thrones, amongst other things. So quality will be high on the publishing front. It’s well worth watching their company video to get a sense of who they are (great people, true artists.)



I’ll be back in touch with an update in about a month, once we get a better idea of how things are traveling at Insight.



Please keep in mind that we have to go through another extensive approval process with the printing. Myself, our illustrator and our pop up book engineer will all have to see and check each and every printed page for colour, contrast, pop up mechanisms etc. I ask you to please be patient with this next stage. We will work as quickly as we can, but we do all live in separate parts of the world.



Once that printing approval process is done, the pages will be printed, and then each and every book (as promised) will be hand glued.



Thanks again for all your patience and support. We are so lucky to have such great Babadook fans. Especially considering Mister Babadook himself is such an arsehole.



Warm regards,



Jennifer Kent (writer/director of Babadook)
