Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a quick update about the BackerKit survey.

I had originally hoped to send the survey out this week so we could begin collecting your details, addresses, emails, and the names you’d like included in the acknowledgements. However, after setting things up behind the scenes we’ve discovered that BackerKit is quite a bit more complex than we initially realised. There’s a fair amount of administrative setup that needs to be completed in the backend before the system will allow us to send surveys out.

Just to reassure everyone: we are not collecting any payments at this stage. We’re not planning to charge shipping right now, that will happen much closer to the fulfilment stage. The current survey is purely to gather the information we’ll need later.

To make sure everything is set up correctly, I’ve reached out to BackerKit support for guidance before sending anything out. It’s important we get it right the first time so that everything runs smoothly for you. Because of that, it’s likely the surveys will now go out sometime next week instead.

Myself and Catherine (PA) have been working hard to get this sorted as quickly as possible, but I’m also juggling the pre-release schedule for Wing Weaver and I’ll be at the London Book Fair all next week, which isn’t the most ideal timing! That said, please rest assured we’ll send the surveys out as soon as we physically can.

We’ve also reached out to our printers to check whether the ongoing global situation might affect printing timelines. If there are any changes or delays, I’ll make sure to update you as soon as we hear back.

On the exciting side of things, we’re now about 10–11 days away from sending out the ebook copies of Wing Weaver to everyone as part of the pre-release schedule, which is a huge milestone.

Also, for anyone interested, the audiobook of Wing Weaver is now available to pre-order on Audible. Audible have acquired the audiobook rights and will be producing and distributing it.

Thank you all again for your incredible support. We’re getting closer every day to bringing Wing Weaver fully into the world, and we couldn’t do it without you.

More updates soon!

Adam
