Hope you're having a joyous evening! It's been a great month and in the final hours, you've helped us raise more than $70,000! Thank you all for the support!
MOVING FORWARD...
- First, Kickstarter will begin processing payments for your pledges. That will take approximately 2 weeks. If you did not use Pledge Over Time, this will be the full amount of your pledge. If you opted to use Pledge Over Time, this will be the first 1/3rd of your total pledge.
- If you selected Pledge Over Time, your second payment will be on or around January 12th, followed by your third and final payment on or around February 12th.
- Once the final payment has been made for Pay Over Time backers, we will send out all surveys to the email addresses you have attached to your Kickstarter account. We expect this to occur by or around February 12th.
- Answer your survey questions and grab any extra Add-Ons you want. For those of you asking how to make your tier selections, you'll do that here. Due to the shipping beta test, shipping will be charged at this time.
- As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us 1-2 times a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
- Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
- With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. <3

TO REITERATE THE SHIPPING BETA TEST...
In case you missed it on the campaign page, we are beta testing something new for this project (and likely for the rest of 2025)!
We've gotten a range of feedback over the last year about how to make our books more accessible to everyone, and one of the most common places we hear we could make a simple change is by charging shipping later so that it's an additional opportunity to split the product costs.
For this project, all shipping and handling fees will be processed on BackerKit when backer surveys are sent out (about 2.5 months after the campaign ends), rather than here on the campaign when you make your pledge.
THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING COST. We will be outlining what every item's shipping will be post-campaign up front so you can account for it. We're doing this for a few reasons.
- First, based on feedback we've gotten from our backers and the larger deluxe book community, charging shipping later makes our books more accessible to more people.
- Second, this change also cuts our costs a little.
- Third, this simplifies campaign management on our side of things significantly, hopefully reducing customer difficulties and improving our quality of customer service.
Oh, and also, we're changing our shipping costs a bit, particularly for our non-US backers. Those of you in the UK should be particularly pleased! 😄 The table below has a rough breakdown of what those costs look like. These prices are also shown in your pledge level and/or Add-On selection, so you know what to expect.
