Hello readers!\u00a0 It\u2019s been a while since a real blog post has dropped, as we here at Tellest have been focusing on delivering content within the series universe itself.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s the weekly encyclopedia entry or the monthly short stories that have been releasing since November, we sure have been busy!<\/p>\n

Besides that, we\u2019ve shown you who makes Tellest possible in the last month or so.\u00a0 Whether they\u2019re writers, audio producers, consultants or trusty readers, there are tons of roles to fill here.<\/p>\n

We also started a new feature in November.\u00a0 From now on, every month around the 15th<\/sup> we\u2019ll be posting a writing contest for fans of Tellest or the genre in general.\u00a0 We\u2019ll offer prizes for the best of the best, and offer you the chance to become a part of the overall Tellest tapestry.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m most excited to talk to you about is what\u2019s coming up for us in the oncoming months.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Tellest is moving forward full-force.\u00a0 While we released some short stories in the last few months of this year, we\u2019ll be putting out a quintet of novellas in the next twelve months called the Tales of Tellest (Volume One).\u00a0 These stories will focus on characters before we saw them in the Child of the Stars Trilogy, and it will help us to understand how they became who they are, while expanding the world of Tellest.\u00a0 It will introduce us to new people and varied locations. \u00a0It will reveal some of the long forgotten secrets of the world.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to be presenting these stories in a serialized format.\u00a0 Each week, another chapter of one of the tales will be released on our website.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be able to see these for free up until the week after the entire story is uploaded.\u00a0 After that point, we\u2019ll release them in eBook format, and start the next story.\u00a0 This will take us through to December, where we\u2019ll start to see two more big stories that will explore a couple of our richer characters more deeply.<\/p>\n

With the new team members that we\u2019ve acquired, we\u2019ll be able to get more products and web updates to you as well.\u00a0 These may be new covers for old books, concept art pieces or an upcoming audiobook release.<\/p>\n

Tellest is also committed to aiding other fantasy authors who are in the early stages of their creations.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have some more news regarding that in the very near future.<\/p>\n

Be on the lookout for some big announcements over the next few weeks.\u00a0 In the meantime, have a safe and happy holiday, from all of us here at Tellest!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
