Project Update: Reward Surveys + More!

Ahoy friends!


As I write this, I'm dictating annoyingly in Sharron's ear: Because we just finished putting the book together! Print files are headed to the printer so we can get hands on a proof before requesting a full print order.

The reward surveys have been created. Those are in review with BackerKit right now. As soon as we're greenlit, you'll be seeing those in your email inboxes. :) Pins and Oracle Cards have been ordered. :D

If you've been following along and missed the campaign, here's a handy dandy link to our preorder store. So you can still stag your copy.

What's next?


Sharron and I will be participating in Pintopia this January! You can check out our upcoming campaigns below.

Project Update: That's a wrap!

We did it!




Thank you to everyone who backed this project! 

This is huge for us for so many reasons. Personally, it's been a blast collaborating with Sharron on this book. She's so amazingly talented, and it's been a joy thrusting her into the spotlight like this. (Normally she's hiding behind the scenes at AC!) Professionally, it's really exciting to expand our library and explore new publications. It's my hope to see us develop following volumes of Shuttered Stanzas for years to come. 

What's next?


Running a crowdfunding campaign is a lot of work. Traditionally, we take a week off to do anything but work just to recoup. After a rest period, I'll be getting started on the reward survey. I'll post another update so you know when to expect that. Meanwhile, Sharron and I will be meeting to finalize the contents of the book and send it off to print.

Some FAQ


- ETA - 
Once reward surveys are live, they'll be open for four weeks (more or less the whole month of October). From submission to our door, pins take about 30 days to produce and ship (more or less November). So we anticipate shipping to be early this December. We want everyone who ordered calendars to get them before the end of the year.

- Oracle Cards - 
Unfortunately, our partner project didn't fund, so we cannot honor the freebies. However, we were really stoked about the designs. So if you were trying to collect them all, we'll have the cards available as an add-on in your reward surveys.

- Stretch Goals - 
We were a little short of our stretch goal. As alluded to above, through the reward survey, you'll have the opportunity to add on additional items to your pledge when you're paying for shipping. If enough additional funds are raised on the backend, we'll honor the stretch goals and add additional pages to the book. 

I think that's about everything for now!

Thanks for joining us on this journey~

Project Update: Wrapping up the First Week

Hello friends!

We've had a great first week, as we're currently sitting at 92% funded.

We put together a video highlighting some of Sharron's photography, and one of my sonnets that'll be featured in the book. You can check it out here!

If you're still lurking and haven't pledged yet, there's still a couple early bird rewards left! That'll snag you a hardcover copy of the book AND the photo pin. We're having a lot of fun putting this book together, and I hope it shows!

What's your favorite photography subject? What off-the-wall topic should I write my next sonnet about?
Drop some comments below, and we'll make a new video with your suggestions!
