IT'S TIME! We have started sending surveys! The subject line will say: Response Needed — Get your reward for The Bluebeard Chronicles
There's a few things you need to know about the surveys:
1.Your Name in the Acknowledgments of the Books
If you want your name in the book, you must fill out your survey by Thursday, September 3rd. Any surveys filled out after that date will not have the backer's name in the books. We need to get the files to our formatter and then to our printer, so this deadline is not flexible.
2. Get Your eBooks
All six ebooks will magically appear in your Bookfunnel library as soon as you complete your survey! You do not need to click the Get My Digital Downloads button or use any kind of link or code. We've evolved beyond the limitations of Backerkit's confirmation screen, so the button will still appear...but you don't need to do anything except sign in or create an account at: https://my.bookfunnel.com
From Bookfunnel, you can send the book to your chosen e-reader, download it, or read it natively in their app. You can also add it to your Kindle library so that it lives in your Amazon account like any other kindle book. It will live in your Bookfunnel library forever if you ever switch e-reader platforms, so it's more yours than a traditionally purchased ebook.
3. Shipping Will Not Be Charged Yet
We will be charging shipping closer to fulfillment in order to get the most accurate shipping prices available. We'll give you plenty of warning ahead of time.
4. Address Changes
You will be able to update your address in the survey up until we lock the addresses to start shipping. If you know that you'll be moving, don't wait to complete your survey or you won't get your name in the back of the books and your ebooks won't be delivered yet. We'll give you plenty of warning before we lock addresses.
As the market gets flooded with AI slop, it's going to be harder and harder for new-to-you authors to break out and for readers to discover fantastic new talent. This book fair allows us to highlight authors who are doing the work and deserve to shine. There is no AI allowed in any of these campaigns.
With the exception of the standard Backerkit and payment processing fees, all of the funds from these projects go directly to the authors who are running them, so it's authors creating and selling directly to you. It's an act of bravery for authors to put themselves out there like this, and we're so proud of them for taking the leap!
If you back 3 or more projects, Bonkers Romance will give you a free Bonkers Romance Book Fair sticker with Shannon's design--and there are some really easy ways to do that, with ebook options for as low as $5 that will allow you to discover new authors. The creative merch is the coolest!! There's custom tea, the cutest raven plushie, stickers, stamps, art, pins, overlays, and more! If nothing else, go check out the creative ideas everyone has come up with!
Monthly Updates
Between now and when we fulfill this project, we'll send you a monthly update to keep you in the loop about production, timeline, and helpful info. If you have any questions at any point, please email us: [email protected]. Comments sometimes slip through the cracks and social media is a mess, so if you want a timely response, email is the way to go!
Thank you for your enthusiasm and support! We're thrilled to be on this adventure with you!
