I wonder whether the original writers, illustrators, and translators who worked on Rosalina's Storybook in the game will be credited in the physical book, or is it just "Created by Nintendo"? Probably the latter, I know how IP works. 🤷♂️
Rosalina’s Storybook is published my Dark Horse Books. Releases Nov 25th for $24.99 buff.ly/tXrNB23

FOR WRITERS/SUBMITTERS: Thinking about making changes to my rejection letters for stories that have been held for additional reads. If there was an option where you could reply and request a very brief (1-2 sentence) summarization of reading team comments, is that something you'd be interested in?
