IMPORTANT UPDATE & SALE!

Postcards in their current format are being DISCONTINUED! Don’t panic though! The artwork itself will still be available, just as a 4×5″ fine art print.

We know this may be disappointing to some, but this was just the best option moving forward for us as a company and we hope you’ll understand.

For the glossy postcards still in our on-hand inventory, they have been discounted to $1.50 CAD (which currently is $1.12 USD). No code needed! Once they’re gone, stock will not be replenished. Instead, they will be available as matte fine art prints. Still the same size so if you’re collecting, there will be no change in the sizing!

Also moving forward, we will be running monthly sales on fandom artwork until all remaining inventory is cleared out so be on the lookout for those!


I hope you all had a magical holiday season and a blessed new year! I’m SO excited to share all the amazing things Whimsical has planned for 2024.

Much love,
Micheline

Come Find Us at YALLFEST for some Freebies!

I’m delighted to tell YALL that Christina will be at Yallfest again this year! And just like last year, she’ll be handing out goodies! Yallfest will be from November 10-11th in Charleston, SC, so if you’ll be around this coming weekend, be sure to find her! She will be pulling a purple wagon and will be taking over my instagram and posting her location throughout both days to my stories.

Yallfest is a Young Adult book festival held annually in Charleston, South Carolina and though I’ve never been, Christina promises it’s a weekend FULL of excitement!

Because it’s an outdoor festival occurring at several locations simultaneously, I can’t tell you exactly where she will be each day (though I can guarantee she’ll be in Stephanie Garber’s signing lines both days)!

If you do find her, snap a photo together and share it on social media (and tag me!) I hope many of you will get an opportunity to meet her and get some Whimsical swag! I wish I could be there with you, but know I’m there in my heart!


A Goblin of the Glade releases on November 28th and we want YOU to join our release day street team! 

What do you need to do? Just post about the book on release day!

What if I don’t have a copy of the book? We will email you one week before release with a marketing package of pre-made graphics to use! Or you can post a screenshot of the book from our shop or Amazon!

How do I sign up? Click this link to enter your info!

Everyone who joins the street team AND posts about the book on November 28th will be entered into a giveaway to win a set of the sold-out preorder incentives! (see below for an image).


And speaking of preorder incentives…

There are only about 30 sets of preorder incentives left for Queen of Shifting Sands! You can only get these by preordering in the shop, so if you’ve been waiting, don’t wait much longer! We expect these to sell out quickly!

Release date: March 12, 2024


Don’t forget! Emma is still available for preorder as well! This Whimsical Exclusive Edition features the original text by Jane Austen with added interior illustrations by yours truly!
