I'm pleased to say I finally got my head around the shipping (I hope!) and have got the surveys ready; they're just being checked by the team at Backerkit.
What's next?...

Last minute add on - sprayed edges!
Design to be finalised, but will be similar to this mockup.
You can edit your pledge for the hardcover to add this on!

Time for a confession...
🗓 In a feat of amazing planning (not) I managed to be away on holiday just before this campaign started, which meant I was kinda scrambling to get everything ready in time, and ...
I'm pleased to say I finally got my head around the shipping (I hope!) and have got the surveys ready; they're just being checked by the team at Backerkit.
What's next?
eBooks The eBooks are ready to go, so I should be able to start distributing them once I have your preferred email address from the survey.
I'll be sending eBooks via BookFunnel, a service that lets you easily download the books to your device and preferred eReader app. You can even read on BookFunnel's own app, which is very good!
Print books I've been waiting on samples of the print books so I can check they're okay before placing your orders.
The paperback arrived tonight, which was really exciting, and it looks great! 🤩 The hardback should arrive soon (I don't have a delivery date yet). Assuming everything is okay with the sample I can start placing your orders after that, as long as I have your address from the survey.
All being well, your print books should arrive in December.
The next contact you get from me should be the Backer Survey - please look out for it! Thanks again for supporting my campaign 😁

I just wanted to give you a wee update and let you know that I haven't forgotten you!
In the past I've used a different Pledge Manager and it's taking me a while to get my head around the Backerkit version. But one thing I've realised is that, once I send out the questionnaires, the digital (eBook) fulfilment should happen at the same time, as they appear to be integrated...
Up until now when I've run a campaign I've done the questionnaire, finalised all the reward items, and then started fulfilment.
This way around the finalising is happening first but then fulfilment should start sooner. I think. If I'm understanding it right! 🙃
I'm blown away by the new backers who're supporting the campaign in these last few hours! THANK YOU to everyone!
🥳 We've passed the last 2 stretch goals just in the last hours... ...so I've had to add a new one! 🤩 ❓ Do you think we can make it??
⭐ I might even have to add another Stretch Goal for $2,000 - it would be amazing if we made that as a final total!! ⭐ <goes away to put thinking hat on>
🥳 A huge THANK YOU to each and every backer who made this campaign such a success! 😍
From the first hour or so when I'd not long returned from holiday in Shetland and nobody had joined the party to the final minutes when we gained 3 new backers and passed another stretch goal, it's been quite a ride! 😅
We passed the $1,800 mark in the final hour, so, as long as all the pledges go through okay, it looks like the hardbacks will have gold foiling! I also added custom sprayed edges as an add-on at the last minute, so if you want to pretty-up your hardback, you'll be able to add that at the Questionnaire stage.
Mockup of how the sprayed edges might look
The hardest part about offering this add-on was finding a mockup image that I could use to show the design. If I find a better version, I'll let you know!
