Please do not wait to contact us! Submit a ticket at this link: https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new. Our support team will help you resolve your concern as quickly as possible. If applicable, please include photos or videos of the damage/defect or other concern.

Removing your pledge or changing your payment information are both available to you while the campaign is live. Once your card is charged, no refunds will be processed.

The Dragonsteel policy for replacements, housed under our refund policy, (https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/pages/refund-policy) is in effect for this campaign. Please reach out to us within two weeks of initial shipment delivery if you have any concerns. We also recommend keeping an eye on the community tab of the campaign for updates related to shipping and replacement deadlines.

You’ll receive an email from BackerKit if your payment fails (this may be sent to your spam folder, so keep an eye out there). If you are unable to correct the payment issue within fourteen days, your pledge will still be imported into the pledge manager, where you can reclaim your pledge and correct your payment information.

Backers now have the option to complete their pay over time payments early. Here is a step by step process on how to complete your remaining charges: 1) Log in to the BackerKit account used to back the project 2) Select your backer profile image and select "Your Pledges & Surveys" 3) Select "Words of Radiance Leatherbound by Brandon Sanderson" NOTE: Here you can see your pledge level, your total pledge amount, the amount you have paid, your remaining balance, and an option to pay your remaining balance. 4) Select the option to pay your remaining balance and confirm your selection. Within one business day of your payment being processed, your pledge will be imported into the pledge manager for the campaign and you will be sent your backer survey. If you do not receive your survey, please contact Dragonsteel support: https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new

Tiers that include the Words of Radiance leatherbound, add-ons, and the New Secret Project Box will ship separately from one another. Original estimated timelines have been changed. Below are the estimated timelines for these shipments: Fulfillment 1 – Fulfillment began fall of 2024, and completed late winter 2025 Tiers including the Words of Radiance Leatherbound Tiers including the Dragonsteel Prime Hardcover Did not include any April 2024 late backers Fulfillment 2 – Fulfillment began late winter of 2025, and will continue until complete Add-ons April 2024 Late Backers, except New Secret Project Box rewards. Fulfillment 3 – Fulfillment begins early fall 2025 New Secret Project Box Keep an eye on the community tab for updates as the estimated timelines may shift.

As fulfillment is in progress, we are no longer able to make changes to rewards.

Yes! Take a look at the “Add-on” tab of the campaign to find individual items and select “Add to Pledge.” You can also add these items in your backer survey after the campaign ends (while supplies last).

Since we do not know how many add-ons each backer may select, they require additional packaging beyond what we can fit in a standard pledge tier shipment. Shipping these items separately allows us to ship pledge tiers at a flat rate.

Due to the complexity of these plushies, including them with tier rewards would significantly increase the tier pricing. We determined that it would be best for backers to be able to opt in to that cost, rather than being forced to accept that additional cost.

We accepted late pledges through April 30, 2024. We are no longer able to add new backers.

This campaign will be fulfilled in three waves. Number of shipments will vary depending on the pledged tier and any selected add-ons. Keep an eye on the community tab for updates as the estimated timelines may shift. Below are the estimated timelines for these shipments: Fulfillment 1 – Fulfillment began fall of 2024, and completed late winter 2025 Tiers including the Words of Radiance Leatherbound Tiers including the Dragonsteel Prime Hardcover Did not include any April 2024 late backers Fulfillment 2 – Fulfillment began late winter of 2025, and will continue until complete Add-ons April 2024 Late Backers, except New Secret Project Box rewards. Fulfillment 3 – Fulfillment begins early fall 2025 New Secret Project Box and any related rewards

Your rewards will be added to our queue for shipping once you have paid in full. They can not be shipped until full payment has been received. Please note that pledges with incomplete payments will not be eligible for a refund, partial or full.

All shipping costs will be determined and charged when completing your backer survey through the pledge manager once the campaign closes. Note: For pledge rewards, shipping is calculated at a flat rate, as listed in the "Regional Flat Rate Shipping" graphic in our campaign story. For add-ons, shipping is determined by both weight and region.

Please update your shipping address immediately through your backer survey. If you encounter any issues with updating your address, please contact our Dragonsteel support team here: https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new.

You will receive an email from BackerKit just before we lock your address. However, we recommend updating your address immediately in your BackerKit pledge. If you are unable to update it yourself, please contact us at https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new

Please enter your current shipping address or the address of a friend or family member who will remain at one location throughout fulfillment. Your address can be updated via your backer survey at any time before your address is locked. After that point, please contact us at https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new to change your address.

We are not able to delay our shipments as they are sent out in high volume batches. However, if you are concerned about not being able to receive your shipment, you can update the address to one of a friend, a family member, or other reliable location. If you are unable to update it yourself, please contact us at https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new

No. Just as we would advise against drinking crem water, we ask that you do not wait to open these packages. If an item is defective or damaged and we are not notified of the issue within two weeks of initial shipment delivery, it is possible that we will be unable to provide a replacement for that item.

We have shipped for many years to fans all over the world. The countries listed are areas where we are comfortable with the pricing and reliability of shipping services. Countries not listed—which we may have shipped to in the past—have been unreliable and have high rates of shipments being damaged, stolen, or lost. If you live in one of these areas, we do not want to risk your valuable books and rewards, and so we cannot in good conscience offer shipping to your country.

There are companies who offer mail forwarding services, which might be a solution if you want to receive physical rewards and live in a country we do not ship to. These companies allow you to set up a US address and then forward your shipments to you. We do not endorse or recommend any specific service and cannot take responsibility for any damage to or loss of your rewards after delivery to the shipping address you provide. If any damage has occurred, we must be notified (with included pictures of the damage) within two weeks of delivery to the initial address you provide. Please be aware that we are not able to offer replacements for missing or lost items or packages if the tracking information shows it as delivered to the mail forwarding company.

Dragonsteel is happy to share that we will be able to cover customs and duties payments for our international backers. Your quoted shipping costs will be the final amount you pay, and you should not be charged an additional fee upon package delivery. Occasionally our shipping documentation is not reviewed by customs agents and they will request that you still pay for customs/duties fees. In this case, do not pay the charge and reach out to the carrier to inquire what information is needed to show that the fee should be billed to Dragonsteel, as this information should appear on the commercial invoice included with the shipment. If additional documentation is needed, reach out to us https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new We will not be able to offer reimbursement for your customs/duties fees if you elect to pay these charges.

With the exception of The Way of Kings Prime (Second Edition) and The Way of Kings signed leatherbound, both available as add-ons, all other items are brand new to this campaign! Note: The Way of Kings Prime is a new edition but the content within the book has not changed.

Our plushie dimensions are approximately 12in x 6in (30.48cm x 15.24cm).

We are still receiving samples so the exact dimensions are still pending final approvals, but they will have a length greater than 18in (45.72cm).

Signed and numbered Words of Radiance leatherbound books are limited. All pledges for a Words of Radiance leatherbound will be signed. Only the first volume of the Words of Radiance leatherbound will contain the signature or number, where applicable. The new secret project premium hardcover and Dragonsteel Prime hardcover will not be signed or numbered.

No. Due to the high demands on Brandon’s schedule, personalizations and other customizations will not be available for this campaign.

No. The Words of Radiance leatherbounds come pre-numbered, packaged, and sealed. As such, we would have to open numerous packages to be able to find a specific number. Additionally, since numbers were randomized for the Way of Kings campaign (as well as for this campaign), we have no way of tracking previous backers' numbers.

You will receive an email notifying you when digital rewards become available. You can also access your available digital downloads by logging into your backer survey and selecting “Get Your Digital Downloads.” Please note that the audiobook for the new secret project is only included with the $20 tier and the $650 tiers. Other pledge tiers MUST purchase the audiobook as an add-on ($15 USD) if they would like to receive this reward. All backers that pledge for the new secret project audiobook will receive an Audible redemption code as well as downloadable files in MP3 and M4B formats.

This book will be narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya and Kaleo Griffith

Digital content will be made available via the BackerKit pledge manager. You will receive an emailed link to login and download your content (which you can also access by logging in to your backer survey). There are three possible methods to gift these digital format books to someone else: 1) Share your download link and your BackerKit login information. We do not recommend this unless you create a specific login used only for this campaign. 2) You can download the DRM-free files yourself and any single-use redemption codes, and then give them to the intended recipient. 3) Gift the cost of the pledge to the intended recipient so they can pledge with their own account.

No. However, it will still be available for purchase on other audiobook platforms. You can obtain it through your preferred audiobook provider when it becomes available!

No, we are not able to provide audible codes for the other secret project books released as a part of our last crowdfunding campaign. However, they are available for purchase on Audible!

The Dragonsteel Prime ebook and audiobook will be released for everyone to enjoy for free. Once available, they will be downloadable from our online store or from your BackerKit account.

The BackerKit pledge manager will link one account (and email address) with one shipping address—multiple addresses under the same account are not possible. However, you can use a different email address to back again and send it to a different shipping address. If you have more questions, please reach out to us at https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new

All books, ebooks, and audiobooks related to this campaign are only available in English.

The leather for both books is the same color. However, the foiling on the books can change the way the eye perceives the leather.

As for the leatherbound books, we have looked into animal-friendly options, but haven’t yet found a good way to offer our books with these options. We intend to continue to search for a solution for those fans looking for this option. Unfortunately, availability of this will be some years away. However, our new secret project, Dragonsteel Prime, and The Way of Kings Prime (2nd edition) are animal friendly. They are bound in soft-touch faux leather!

All of our leatherbound books are printed here in the U.S. at American Print & Bindery.

This leatherbound edition will become available for purchase on our online store only after fulfillment of all leatherbound pledge rewards. Please be aware, however, that once all signed copies are sold, only unsigned copies may be available for purchase.

We work diligently to restock our shelves as often as possible. Our store FAQ breaks down policies regarding item availability, leatherbound titles, and more (https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/solutions/).

The Dragonsteel backer pin included in the Backer Pack is currently the only exclusive item to this campaign. Decisions about other item availability and pricing will be made after fulfillment is complete.

Our last campaign was a historic undertaking! However, this is not a subscription box style campaign. Orders will ship in up to three shipments depending on your pledge tier and add-ons.

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
