Project Update: ALL DESIGNS UNLOCKED - Launch Day Recap and Updates!

Hey y'all, thank you for an AMAZING launch! We're halfway through the Early Bird period and I wanted to give a few quick updates about the campaign.

This update includes:
  • Recap on unlocked content so far
  • Preview of what's unlocking next
  • Summary of ways to maximize your freebies
  • Updates on the fulfillment process

Unlocked Content

In the first day we've funded:
  • All ten new genres (Bookcases and Mini Bookshelves)
  • All initial campaign freebies and add-on items
  • A free Bookwyrm pin for ALL backers ($10,000 achievement)
  • The Mythology Mini Bookshelf (200 backers achievement)

Unlocking Next: Deluxe Edition Pins

We unlocked all the new genres! What's next?
  • "Deluxe Editions" for the new genres will unlock every $1,000 until the campaign reached $20,000
    • Deluxe pins will have added special effects like screen printing, glitter, and glow in the dark pigments
    • You may upgrade any of your Bookcase pins to Deluxe Editions for +$3 during the backer survey
  • At $20,000 two more colorways for the Bookwyrm freebie pin will also unlock
    • Scroll to the bottom of this update to vote for the new colorways!


Get More Free Stuff!

Take advantage of this project's multiple collaborations to earn more freebies
  • Pledge in the first 48 hours to get the Midnight Release freebie pin
  • Back Spirits in the Waves by Arledge Comics to get a set of TWO free pins
  • Back Pride in the Pages to get a free mini pin (and save money with combined shipping)
  • Back 3+ projects in the Bookworm Group-Collab to get a free bookmark from each one



Custom Pin Tiers Available

There are still a few pledge tiers for custom pins available!
  • The Librarian tier lets you pick a genre for a new Mini Bookshelf Pin that will be unlocked for everyone
  • The Publisher tier gets you a fully customized run of 30 pins

Fulfillment Improvements

The first Bookshelves for Bibliophiles campaign was my largest project to date and this one is looking like it will be even bigger! I did almost all of the fulfillment work by myself last year and it was a lot... so it's time to bring in help! To minimize shipping delays, this campaign has budgeted some additional funds to pay other local artist(s) to assist with fulfillment. More pairs of hands will hopefully mean quicker grading, packaging, and fulfillment of campaign rewards. There's still a risk that things will take longer than expected, especially with the manufacturing process, but I think that this will be a huge improvement.

That's all for now! If you're excited about what's coming next you can continue to help the campaign grow by voting in the poll, increasing your pledge, and sharing it with your pin or book loving friends!

With love and creativity,
Max

P.S. Look at how incredibly cool this Octopus pin from Arledge Comics is. Seriously y'all, go check them out!
