It’s almost publication day! This has been a wild ride. We’ve been working towards bringing SIDE QUESTED to print since 2023, and we’re almost there! On 17 March 2026, Side Quested Book 1 will hit the shelves of bookstores everywhere!
You can still preorder your copy! Here are the links to every online store we’ve found, but you can also request it at your local bookstore! Every preorder counts towards our publishing day launch stats, which have a ridiculous impact in the publishing industry! If we can show that Side Quested Book 1 has strong sales data, we could bring the entire series to print!
CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!
If you’ve already preordered the first book, Andrews McMeel Universal, our wonderful Publisher, has a digital reward for you! A high-resolution Movie Poster of Side Quested is available here! Just enter your name and email and the download will be sent directly to your account.
The incentive promo is available until book launch! (12:00 CST on 17 March, 2026)
PROMO VIDEO
We’ve also made this incredible trailer for the first book! Written by KB, edited by Ale, and narrated by the one and only Dani Carr (who’s now also a fellow webcomic creator!), we’re hoping this appeals to new and old readers alike.
We’ll be posting it on all of our social media channels. If you’re inclined to share, this would be amazing and appreciated!

NEW MERCH SHOP
To celebrate book launch, we’re also launching our new merch store at gossipbirdbooks.com!
The new store has both digital and physical products, and as SIDE QUESTED has a global readership, we’ve made sure the store offers worldwide shipping. We’re launching with just a couple of products, but more are coming soon!
REVIEWS
Could you help us track reviews? Book reviews come from everywhere these days, and it’s hard to catch them all! We’re trying to Pokémon all of them and are listing them here on our main website, but if you come across a new one, please let us know!
YOU ARE THE BEST!
Yes, you are. Side Quested Book 1 is a huge milestone and we wouldn’t have reached it without you. We’re only able to keep working because of your support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
