The Sum of All Writers - Update Aug 4th 2024
Hello Everyone,
Before I get into the updates, I have an important reminder. If you still need to complete your survey, please do so as soon as possible. If you hesitate becaus...
We will soon lock shipping addresses. You have two days to update your shipping address in your BackerKit survey.
If you need to review your shipping address, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://the-sum-of-all-writers.backerkit.com/
If you still need to answer your survey, you can complete it to get your rewards, but your shipment may be delayed.
We're currently aiming to ship rewards in late November to early December. If you need to change your shipping address, please make the changes in your BackerKit survey in the next two days.
The Sum of All Writers is possible because of you. Thank you for your extreme patience as we complete our first BackerKit project. It has been an experience.
We will update again once we receive the books from the printer and start shipping.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. [email protected]
Thanks again to each of you for your support, C.D. Lombardi
Early in the program, we informed everyone that we would charge shipping later.
In update #11, we reminded everyone that we would charge shipping and any owed funds in a few days. Those charges took place on or around the last week of October. I thought the charge would appear as BackerKit, but I have confirmed with a customer that it is listed on their statement as "You Are Worth It, " our company's name.
The shipping charges, which mostly ranged from $9.95 to $19.95, were applied based on your order and location. You can verify these charges by logging into your BackerKit account, ensuring transparency and peace of mind.
Some individuals did not recognize the charge and have disputed it with their credit card company. We’re all human, and I understand that mistakes can happen. Disputing a charge involves paperwork, which can delay the fulfillment process. Unfortunately, we can't ship rewards to anyone with a disputed charge or an outstanding balance. This issue only affects those who have contested a charge. Please resolve this issue quickly.
As we discuss the balance due, it's important to note that several backers still need to complete their survey, provide their shipping address, and pay for shipping. The system can only charge you shipping once it knows how much to charge, as determined by your order and address. Your prompt action will significantly help us fulfill your rewards smoothly. Once you enter your address, the correct shipping amount will be displayed.
Project update:
We have received the physical proofs. They look great. We expect to start the printing process early next week.
Farland The Dragon keychain is out of testing and in the production phase.
Everything is coming together quickly. I cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring that your survey is complete and that we have your correct address. The cut-off date for changing your address will be soon. Please do not delay.
This has been a fantastic journey, thanks to all of you, our backers. We could not have done it without you. We appreciate your support and understanding as we navigate these final stages of the project.
If you have any questions or issues, please do not hesitate to contact me first.
It's been a busy few weeks. We received the e-proofs from the printer, and they looked great. The physical proofs have been ordered and should arrive in the next week or two. If all goes well, we start printing shortly after that.
If you need to update your address, please do so now. We won't lock addresses for a few more weeks, but it is better to do it now if needed.
We still have a few people who have not completed their survey. If you pledged digital-only content, I will attempt to close the survey for you. Physical rewards require an address to be shipped. If you see a hefty shipping price, it should change once you have entered your address. The default shows the highest cost and does not apply to most people.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. [email protected]
Thanks again to each of you for your support, C.D. Lombardi
The project is making progress, and we're moving forward. The Sum of All Writers book files are off to the printer for e-proofs. Once those come back, I'll order physical proofs. The next step after that will be printing the books.
I will also be finishing up the Farland keychain. I couldn't decide whether to include a keychain or a keyring, so we have included both. Each keychain purchased, Tanit or Farland, will come with a stainless steel keyring and a keychain. This way, you can choose to use either or both. It's up to you.
We will process charges to accounts with a balance due in the next few days. These charges are typically add-ons or shipping charges.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but over 20 people still need to complete their survey. Everyone gets this email, yet only those who still need to complete it get a separate email asking them to do so. If you get one of those emails, please complete it. Even if you purchased only electronic products, please still finish it.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. [email protected]
We had a setback. Some of the book's content either became corrupted or was accidentally removed. We used versioning, but this data has been missing for a while. All the current editions we had needed it. The writing has been re-added, but it had to be re-edited and go through the process again, including proofreading. This has put us behind schedule.
Despite the setback, we expect to submit the book to the printer for proofing next week. We are aiming for a November shipping date, with the possibility of an earlier release.
IMPORTANT If you receive an email asking you to complete your survey, it still needs to be completed. Those emails are sent only to those who still need to finish them. If you receive such an email, please complete your survey. Time is running out.
Also, a reminder: The shipping may not show the correct value. Once you enter your address and update it, the correct amount should appear.
