Welcome to The Secret Night Market for Readers


Once the sun sets, the Late Night Market for Readers comes alive. Lanternlight hums, footsteps wander, and bookish treasures reveal themselves slowly, inspired by the warmth and wonder of after-dark markets. This enamel pin collection is for readers who know the best stories are often found at night.

The Snarky Company is a women-owned, AAPI small business. I’ve been making pins since 2018, and over the years I’ve launched 12 successful crowdfunded campaigns — including Own Your Stigma, which raised over $200,000 with support from more than 5,000 backers and preorder customers, making it one of the most funded and backed enamel pin projects on Kickstarter.

I reside in Raleigh, NC with my partner and our two very spoiled dogs, Mochi and Yuzu. When I’m not working, you can usually find me lifting weights in the gym, reading romance and fantasy books, playing video games, hanging out with my pups, or on a quest to find the best Japanese food — especially matcha and hojicha lattes.

Add-Ons & Side Finds


How do add-ons work?

There are two options when it comes to adding 'add-on' items to your pledge:

1) You can navigate to the add-ons tab on this campaign page. If you choose to add an item to your pledge, when the campaign ends you will be charged for your pledge level and the add-on item. When you receive your survey the add-on item you purchased along with your pledge will automatically be in your order items list. Please note that some add-ons come with additional shipping costs due to size or weight. You won't pay those additional shipping fees at the time of your pledge, they will be paid within your survey post campaign.

2) You can choose just a pledge level, which you will be charged for when the campaign ends. When you receive your post campaign survey there will be an add-ons section that contains all the add-ons you see here. You can then add additional items in your survey and pay for those items and your shipping costs within your survey.

Please note that not all the available add-ons will appear here on the campaign page. Occasionally, add-on items are designed during or after the campaign and only make an appearance within the add-ons section of your survey.
Edit


IMPORTANT INFO - Shipping costs will be charged to you AFTER the campaign and SEPARATELY through your BackerKit survey.

Below you'll find shipping rates for different regions. These flat rates apply only to your pledge level, and are subject to changes depending upon shipping rates when the campaign ends. If there is a shipping increase it will only be between $1-$2.

SHIPPING RATES

USA  $7-$18+
CANADA  $25-$35+

Please note that shipping is dependent upon the  weight of your final package, including your pledge level rewards, and any items you may add on during your survey.


This project will only be shipping to the US and Canada.
