BackerKit FAQ

How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.

To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.

All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.

Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.

Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.

When will I be charged for my pledge?

Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.

What happens after the campaign is over?

The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.

The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.

Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

Project FAQ

Can I pick which books I need 'a la carte'? I don't need all 6, just some in the middle!

Yes! If you need to order some books specifically (i.e. books 3, 5, and 6) then all you need to do is back one of the pledge tiers (book 6 is probably your best bet) then you can add whichever other books you need to complete your collection in the Add-Ons section.

Why should I use Backerkit instead of waiting to buy the books on Amazon?

By using Backerkit you will be helping me to spread the word and help expand my audience tremendously. You will also be able to receive book 6 several months earlier, and at a lower price than if you were to wait and purchase it on Amazon.

What is the exclusive reward for backing this project?

You will get a discounted price on book 6, as well as the opportunity to purchase items that will not be available anywhere else until early next year, such as the coins and map. This is also the ONLY place where you can get the collaboration reward from backing Violet Eyes from Sage.
