Definitely an adult audience. While GULA is at no point particularly smutty, it is at times explicit about both sex and violence (as well as their intersections) to a degree inappropriate for readers under 18.

Absolutely! If you're getting a tier with a print included, just add whichever one you aren't already receiving through the add-ons page. If you're pledging to a lower tier and still want one (or both) you can also use the add-ons page to order them that way.

GULA is long enough that it has multiple forms of poetry included! Portions are in free verse; others are structured forms like sestina and haiku. Some sections rhyme, others don't. If you're a true structured poetry hater, don't worry, there isn't too much of that, but I encourage you to have an open mind.

Unfortunately due to the nature of shipping, I can't guarantee refunds for anything lost in the mail. Opening a dispute with Canada Post or your local mail carrier is the best route in these situations, although please do let me know as well in case of oversight on my end.

If your book(s)/print arrived as a misprint or in some other way damaged prior to shipping, then yes! Please send me pictures of the product in your request. If your book(s)/print are damaged during shipping, however, there isn't much I can do and I cannot guarantee any refunds or replacements.

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
