How did you make those awesome digital mockups?

I browsed a LOT of online template sites, and grabbed whatever looked good.

The book mockup used here is by DesignBolts: http://www.designbolts.com/2018/06/07/free-beautiful-paperback-book-title-with-spine-mockup-psd/

Old tablet screen shown in the digital rewards is from Freepik: https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/black-tablet-mockup_764893.htm

New one is from Dribble: https://dribbble.com/shots/3184722-Ipad-Photo-Mockup-Freebie

And the boxset in the stretch goals is by CoverVault: https://covervault.com/6-x-9-book-box-set-psd-mockup-template/

BackerKit didn't ask for my address, how will you know where to ship Leif & Thorn Volume 7?

After the campaign is over, and the funds are collected, I’ll send out surveys to all backers to collect the fulfillment info I need.

If you got a paperback (or several), you’ll be asked for your address in the survey.

BackerKit didn't charge for shipping when I made my pledge. How much is it going to cost?

For US backers: as usual, I built the cost of shipping into the pledge levels.

For backers outside the US: we won’t know the exact cost until I start putting your packages in the mail! But here are some rough estimates to help you make a budget (based on current USPS rates, all prices are in USD):

For a single book:

Canada: $20
European Union: $25
Rest of world: $35

For the whole 6-book backlist:

Canada: $60
European Union: $75
Rest of world: $85

Depending on your country, there may also be customs fees/tariffs charged when the package arrives. I don’t control or collect those at all – please check with your local postal service to see if they’ll affect you.

Are you sure you can ship Leif & Thorn Volume 7 to my non-US country at all?

All the international backers on previous Leif & Thorn campaigns have gotten their books. I have no intention of breaking that streak now!

If there are problems with shipping to a specific country when the rewards are ready to send, I’ll get in touch with the affected backers, and figure out a solution that works for each of you.

If my pledge includes a paperback with a hand-drawn sketch inside, do I get to choose who's in the sketch?

Afraid not. The process is much simpler if everyone gets the same sketch, which means you get your rewards faster.

Sketched versions of Volume 1 mostly got Leif; Volume 2 was Thorn; 3 was Kale; 4 was Hyacinth; 5 was Agent Dex; 6 was the Woman in Black. (Place your bets now on who I’ll be putting in Volume 7.)

If your pledge comes with custom digital art, that’s a separate thing from the physical sketch in the book, and is totally customizable!

What are my options for the "extra mini-print" and "extra ebook" add-ons?

I can’t show images in these FAQs, so keep an eye on the Updates – I’ll make posts about your options there.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
