Thanks to you, we've already blown past our initial funding goal for Tales from the Cryptids!
This anthology of games, stories, poetry, and uncanny ephemera will be a REAL THING. We are so excited to bring you cryptid content by Avery Alder, Sharang Biswas, Shing Yin Khor, Jason B. Crawford, A.E. Osworth, and Shen Tao. And anthology editor Brigitte Winter will be selecting additional creators to include in this book through our open call this spring!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU from the bottom of our weird little hearts.
Next up, we'll be working toward our first stretch goal, which will allow us to add more pages to this book and include even more authors, game designers, and poets when we open to submissions in March.
We love artists and believe creators should be fairly compensated for their work, and we are committed to a pro rate of 10 cents per word for our contributing writers. We also pay professional rates for illustrations, graphic design, layout, and all the other labor that goes into producing a beautiful book packed full of human creativity. This commitment is non-negotiable for us, so we deeply appreciate your help making it possible.
And if you've already made your pledge, please help us spread the word. We're a small team, and we'd love your support bringing this project to communities who will love it.
With gratitude,
Dustin, Nat, Brigitte, and Pat
P.S. Come say hi to Brigitte and Nat tonight at 7pm ET/4pm PT when they go live for our first livestream conversation about Tales from the Cryptids! Just visit our Backerkit page at that time and the livestream should automatically appear. See you soon!
