We are still on track to have all rewards shipped out on or before the end of November 2026.
U.S. backers with physical add-ons will receive a shipping refund of about $5.
Non-U.S. backers with physical add-ons will receive a shipping refund of about $15.
Please wait until the end of November to reach out to our support team regarding partial add-on shipping refunds, as these will take time to complete.
Wait for your shipping confirmation email before reaching out to our support team, as we cannot give individual shipping estimations.
We are currently fulfilling both tier rewards and add-ons!
We are on track to ship all tier rewards and add-ons before the end of November. Backers who have both physical tier rewards and physical add-ons will have their rewards shipped together in a single package. Backers who did not select any add-ons can still expect their rewards to arrive before the end of November with no delays.
For backers whose tier rewards and add-on rewards are combined into a single shipment, we will be issuing a partial shipping refund back to the original form of payment. U.S. backers with physical add-ons will receive a shipping refund of about $5. Non-U.S. backers with physical add-ons will receive a shipping refund of about $15.
When should I reach out to the support team?
Due to the number of backers with add-ons, it will take our support team and BackerKit some time to process these partial add-on shipping refunds. All refunds for shipping will conclude before the last package is shipped out, estimated at the end of November 2026.
Please keep your eyes out for an email that will contain your tracking information. As a reminder, our support team is unable to provide individual shipping estimates. If you’ve received a tracking number and a week passes without updates to your tracking information—delivered, in transit, or otherwise—please let our support team know.
Update #12: Add-ons will ship sooner than expected!
10/6/26
TL;DR
We will be able to get all physical rewards, including add-ons, shipped out before the end of November.
For backers whose tier rewards and add-on rewards are combined into a single shipment, we will be issuing a partial shipping refund back to the original form of payment.
We had not originally planned on posting an update until mid-October, but we wanted to tell all backers about an exciting change for physical add-on fulfillment. Our fantastic warehouse team has been investing in new systems, processes, and practices this past year, looking for ways to simplify and accelerate fulfillment. Due to these improvements in efficiency and the hard work of our team at every level, we will be able to get all physical rewards, including add-ons, shipped out before the end of November.
What is changing?
Backers who have both physical tier rewards and physical add-ons will have their rewards shipped together in a single package.
Backers who did not select any add-ons can still expect their rewards to arrive before the end of November—this change will not delay their rewards.
What about add-on shipping rates?
Our warehouse team has carefully looked at add-on shipping rates for each specific region. For backers whose tier rewards and add-on rewards are combined into a single shipment, we will be issuing a partial shipping refund back to the original form of payment. Please note this is an approximate estimate and the final amount may vary:
Most backers with add-ons being shipped within the U.S. will receive a refund of about $5 for add-on shipping.
Most backers with add-ons being shipped outside the U.S. will receive a refund of about $15 USD for add-on shipping.
Please note that due to the number of backers with add-ons, it will take our support team and BackerKit some time to process these partial add-on shipping refunds. All refunds for shipping will conclude before the last package is shipped out.
Where is fulfillment at?
Later today a fulfillment progress tracker for the campaign will be live on www.brandonsanderson.com. As a reminder, our support team is unable to provide individual updates on reward fulfillment or estimates of when your rewards may ship out.
We will send another shipping update towards the end of October. Until then, Worldhoppers!
We’re expecting to complete fulfilling tier rewards before the end of November.
Add-ons will be shipped out in early 2027.

Some final reminders before we begin delivering your rewards.

For backers with digital rewards, you’ll receive an email with a link to your backer survey, where they can be found. Once you receive the link, your digital rewards can be accessed via your backer survey at any time. If you don’t see them immediately, please wait at least 24 hours before contacting support.
Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium will be released digitally on September 15th.

Another shout-out to the Lightweavers who created the marvelous art pieces also included within the Symposium:
Once your tier rewards ship, you will receive a shipping confirmation with a tracking number.
Add-ons ship separately from pledge rewards and may not begin fulfillment until 2027.
Let’s work together to ensure addresses are accurate before they’re locked in.
On September 4th, backers will no longer be able to update their shipping address within BackerKit. To ensure your rewards are delivered to the correct address, please check your pledge and update your information as necessary before September 4th.
Step 1: Go to backerkit.com and log in to your account.
Step 2: Click your profile icon in the top right corner of the page.
Step 3: Select “Your Pledges & Surveys” from the dropdown menu.
Step 4: Click on “Your Surveys” and locate the survey for Hoid’s Storybook Collection.
Step 5: Once inside your survey, within the “Shipping Info” section, click the “Edit Shipping Info” button to update your address.
If you are unable to update your address or need to make the change after September 4th, please contact oursupport team, who can help correct the address. As a reminder, add-ons ship separately from pledge rewards and may not begin fulfillment until 2027.
Digital rewards will be available starting on September 15th. You will receive an email with a link to your backer survey, where your rewards can be found. Digital rewards can be accessed at any time post-fulfillment within your backer survey. Please allow 24 hours before contacting support if you do not immediately see them within your backer survey.
Physical rewards will also begin shipping on September 15th. Once your rewards ship, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. We are unable to provide an order status update or fulfillment timeframe estimate prior to this email being sent. We’re excited for you to receive your newest additions to your Sandershelf!

Now that surveys are completed, your addresses are locked. If you change states, provinces, or countries, please submit a ticket to the Dragonsteel support team to adjust your address.
A message to all EU backers:
We’ve recently become aware that the EU instituted a €3 customs charge per tariff classification. Thank you to those who called that out to us. We won’t add those charges to your shipping. Instead, Dragonsteel will cover these new shipping fees. We appreciate all our international backers, and we don’t want you to incur additional financial costs.

Introducing…Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium!
Hello backers, we did it!
Brandon will be hosting a livestream to celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection today (March 3, 2026) at 6:00PM MST (1:00AM UTC). We’re sure you can see the joyspren surrounding us as we share the news that our campaign is officially funded! Once again, we’re able to bring the magic of Brandon’s worlds to life because of YOU. As if getting four enchantingly illustrated storybooks wasn’t enough, Brandon’s newest secret project The Fires of December is an adventure we know you’ll love as much as we did. Remember that the gold foiling on each of the picture books and the printed edges for The Fires of December will only be available for purchase during the lifetime of this BackerKit project. You’ll want to act now to guarantee their spot on your Sandershelf!
Now is the perfect time to collect your ChasmFriend Blind Bag pins to be able to trade with other Worldhoppers and complete your herd. The price of these collectible cuties is only $10 during the project launch, but will increase after the campaign closes.
If you reserved a ChasmFriend pin pre-campaign, as long as you have backed the campaign and completed your backer survey once it is sent out, the pin will automatically be sent with your pledge rewards.
A story doesn’t live until it is imagined
To celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection, we want to invite our backers to join in weaving a non-canonical Hoidian tale. Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium is our new Stormlight-infused collaborative storytelling experience! Join the beloved Worldsinger’s ranks as you and other backers come together to tell a story of your own in the Collaborative Narrative. A writing prompt has been given on the Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium tab of this project. Every day until the close of this campaign, you will have a chance to add to the narrative. It’s up to you Worldsingers to determine whose response is the best, as the entry with the most likes will be added to this storybook of your own creation! We will accept one submission per day, based on votes. If the content of a submission does not comply with our terms and conditions, it will be rejected.
The symposium will also include a Worldsinger Gallery! Send your fan art inspired by the Collaborative Narrative you’re creating via the submission link found within the Symposium. As long as your art adheres to our terms and conditions, we will feature it in our Worldsinger Gallery. Artists are allowed up to two art submissions during the campaign. Select art submissions, as well as the completed narrative, will be included in a free digital release entitled Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology.
We’re so happy you’re here and we’re elated to share Hoid’s tales with you. Until our next update later this month, Worldsingers!

I can't seem to upload a picture of it, but the sticker sheet for Wandersail came out with the printed layers all shifted. At first I thought it was some intentional thing (unfortunately, I don't know anything about any of this stuff lol. My wife is the big Dragonsteel fan so I got her the Master Worldsinger pledge lol), but it seems like an issue at the printer. In the bottom right of each sticker sheet it shows the DS logo along with DRAGONSTEEL, but on the Wandersail sheet that is completely unreadable and fuzzy so I'm pretty sure it's unintentional.
Not the end of the world if there's not a way to get a replacement or anything, just wanted you guys to be aware more than anything.
Despite not really knowing what any of this is, the quality of everything else is great! The books, flute, and statue are super cool and she absolutely loves the dog and dragon plushies. Keep up the great work everyone!
