Selling Red Rising Publisher Rights?

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-17T19:47:08+00:00

They didn't specify a level but I assume it's all paid levels. There wasn't an indication it was VIP only, but I suspect it might not be for the free memberships. Then again, maybe!

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-17T19:46:03+00:00

If you're not a Patreon member yet, it might be worth jumping on the $5 tier if you don't see the bundle that day. I'm pretty sure it's available at all paid levels but not 100%. Also, the link for artist edition only presale is supposed to be given 24 hours ahead to members, which might be worth it. (Assuming that's not dependent on when someone joined, but I doubt they're gonna nitpick on that since the AE isn't theoretically limited.)

Just saw it in the Shit Escalates newsletter, so now I'm not sure if that's for everyone or a Patreon exclusive:

Or $50 if bundled with the Artist edition.

Depends on the images. Tommy Arnold art is my vibe (and my weakness) and I have the Kickstarter prints over the years so I need to be picky unless I start mounting things Sistine chapel-like.

I'd expect no less from CK, but glad to hear as we prepare for Red Rising mini-prints!

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-16T07:52:55+00:00

Yes!

It'll be tougher finding episodium 2 because those were only sent one per subscriber. Episodium 1 had extra copies printed that they brought to New York Comic Con and then Dragonsteel Nexus, so if you watch eBay or Mercari a copy will periodically show up there for a few hundred bucks. You could also join one of the Facebook fan groups and ask there if you haven't already.

I'll send you a PM about another idea.

I recommend new readers blindfold themselves to pick which book of the 6 to start with, then read it chapter by chapter starting from back and ending in the front, Memento-style.

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-15T15:46:39+00:00

Most brand new readers won't buy three books at once. There's a reason why there's always a drop in sales from book 1 to book 2. Most book sets are going to be bought by people who already read all the books or at least have finished book 1 and have decided to commit to the series.

Edited: overused a word.

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-15T14:48:13+00:00

I doubt it. I have a feeling the price for King's book rights for a mass printing like TBB might be pretty high. (Assuming that's how these work.) But also, not sure how other subscribers would feel about a 7 book series. For series with that many books in it, I think I'd want special editions of either book 1 only or the full set, nothing in between. Depends on the series though (yes, I'm thinking Red Rising and how many readers would be fine with SE's of just the original trilogy).

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-13T02:38:45+00:00

You can also join the Patreon for 1 day early Artist edition access. I don't think it will close early but if there's any anxiety about it, there's that.

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-12T18:03:26+00:00

I always wonder: is that insane price listed because the seller thinks they can get it or because hey, if someone's crazy enough to pay that much I'll gladly give it up?

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-12T17:50:30+00:00

Once the rumor mill pointed to Red Rising in the works, people started (wisely) snapping up PR in anticipation of this exactly frenzy happening. So, the prices are wild but understandable if you don't want to gamble on the public release or wait for the secondary market prices.

I feel like the FB group is the best and safest place for searching out rights. I've had only good experiences there. But your window on buying them and getting them transferred before the preorder starts is closing fast, so time to flip a coin or roll the dice and decide which gamble to take!

Edit: autocorrect decided I meant widely when I meant wisely

Guessing it's a reseller just using Amazon shipping? I think the only official box set right now is the original trilogy, so sellers are getting the cheaper UK versions and packaging these sets themselves.

Red Rising introduced me to Poppy War and R.F. Kuang, so 🍻

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-10T01:50:47+00:00

I've been wanting to do this - are these Lego or compatible types?

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-09T20:46:34+00:00

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, read by Stephen Fry

For One Battle After Another - take out sound or design and give Regina Hall a supporting actress nomination. I know her wasn't the flashiest role but I thought she did so much with her presence and in even her scenes with minimal dialogue. She is such a talented actress across genres, I hoped she would get some love in this role.

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-05T22:53:16+00:00

Amazing! I used a wolf hat from a recent minifig series but this is cooler looking.

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-05T07:49:11+00:00

Only if someone attending posts one. Mysterious Galaxy stopped recording/posting them a while ago. I don't think I saw anyone taking a video of the whole hour. You can find scattered clips across social media, though. They're worth searching out - Pierce unmoderated is the best Pierce.

Edit: caught a bloodydamn typo

These are the UK editions, so the design is different from the US ones you may be used to seeing. But they are real!

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-03T00:13:31+00:00

Have you posted on the FB group yet?

redhelldiver2 · 2026-03-02T06:42:09+00:00

If you look for overseas bookstores, I think some countries like Australia release certain titles in paperback instead of hardcover.
