We did it!
YOU did it!

Thanks to your incredible support, enthusiasm, and energy, we were able to surpass the original funding goal and are creating a truly fabulous book for you. I can't thank you enough.

If this is your first time using Backerkit, the excitement is far from over. Over the next few days, I’ll be working behind the scenes to get the surveys ready for you to give me all your shipping information.

Since this campaign will be fulfilled in 2025, you won’t be charged for shipping until we get closer to the shipping date. For now, you'll only be charged for the items you pledged and any add-ons. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Since the product is still in development, we don’t yet have the final weights needed for calculating shipping (and with the books still in production, there's plenty going on behind the scenes!).

I’ll keep you updated as we move forward... but today, let’s celebrate this victory!

Last Chance!
It’s the final day of the Legally Undead Hardcover project!

As I write this, there are just about six(ish) more hours to reserve a copy of Legally Undead, complete with the original ending, gorgeous new internal formatting, and beautiful new covers!

(You can also get all those cool elements in ebook or paperback special editions!)

I’ll also be sending out extra bookish goodies, including oracle cards, bookmarks, stickers, and more.
And there are tons of vampiric options, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, head over take a look now!

Check Out Legally Undead, and I’ll see y’all on the other side of the campaign! 

Have a great day, everyone, and as always, happy reading!

Stretch Goal Funded! + More fun!
We are down to the last 24(ish!) hours of the Legally Undead: 10-Year Anniversary Deluxe Hardcover Edition project and we just hit a stretch goal! Woohoo!! 

The rewards are getting better and better—and I have some super-secret extra rewards to share when we hit those additional stretch goals (I’m so excited about them!).

And there’s more! So far in the Bats, Blood, or Fangs Poll, the bats are winning—but there are about 10 hours left in the poll, so if you have your heart set on one of the others, go get other people to vote, too! ;)

(But take heart: I’m planning to include printable bookmarks of all three possible endpaper prints, so you won’t have to do without your favorite, no matter what!)

We also have about 10 hours left in the Legally Undead Vampiric Giveaway—and we’re only a few entrants away from everyone getting a “Bite Me, Dracula!” sticker (I adore this one). Plus, the more you share, the more entries you get!






(And while you’re at it, you can share this post, too! Here’s a link to make that easy.)

Have a great day, and I'll check in again tonight!

Bats, Blood, or Fangs? Help Me Decide!
Hi, all! 

I need help (this is the point at which my teenager would look at me, roll her eyes, and say, “Yes. You do.” We can skip that part here...just take it as a given. :) ) 

Specifically, I need help making a decision. 

As we’re hurtling toward the end of the Legally Undead Hardcover print-run crowdfunder, I’ve been working on the final touches for the books. Right now, I’m deciding among some fun endpaper print options and I've created a poll to take input!

In case you don’t know what an endpaper is, it’s the paper connecting the covers to the book—this bit:



I have narrowed down our choices to three options: Bats, blood, or fangs

Here’s what they look like:


I’d love it if you’d tell me which you’d like best inside the book! 

I can’t wait to see which endpaper you like best!

And don't forget to enter to win more vampiric prizes--the more you share on social media, the more entries you get. (And if we have 100 participants by the end of the giveaway, I'll drop a gift in every entrant's email!)

Happy reading, y’all!

Bringing Stretch Goals into the Light of Day... :)
Hello, Brilliant Backers and Vampire Hunters,
 
I can hardly believe we’re in the final week of our project! 
 
Like any good vampire hunter, we’ve set our sights on our quarry, and now the dark shadows of the night will conspire to unlock upgrades, bonuses, and, we hope, hand-signed and personalized editions. (Let’s knock on some coffins for luck!)
 
So, what can you do? Help us unleash this dark, vampiric enchantment. Watch it grow like Dracula’s legend as each stretch goal comes to life. You’ll receive extra treasures to make your edition even more extraordinary.
 
Your first mission is to spread the word of Legally Undead far and wide, across the tangled web of the internet. After all, the more we grow, the more crypts we unlock, and the richer your reward will be—and you might even walk away with a special treasure all your own!
 
You can enter the Legally Undead Giveaway to share about the project. Also, if at least 50 people share the project between now and September 20, I’ll include a bonus vampire-themed book sticker (physical or printable, depending on your backer rewards).
 
And to kick things off, I’m ready to unveil more stretch goals. Check them out:
 
Let's create the most amazing special edition possible!
 
Each stretch goal is designed to make this special edition even more amazing! And every stretch goal comes with an additional reward for backers at the paperback and ebook levels—from special headers to bookmarks and more!
 
Also, it’s come to my attention that not everyone knows about the Pay Over Time plan I’m offering through Backerkit. If you order one of the book boxes, you can choose to pay in three installments. So if you’re longing for more vampire fun, now’s your chance to get it!
 
And finally, I’ll be listing some more add-ons this week, including some Legally Undead mugs, vampire-themed book gear, and more! I’ll be back in your inbox in a couple of days (rising like a vampire from the grave?) to tell you more about those!
 
Have a wonderful rest of your day! 
 
Happy Reading!
~Margo

Legally Undead Funded! + Stretch Goals
Hi, everyone!

I'm so excited to announce that the Legally Undead 10-Year Anniversary Deluxe Edition has funded!

So now I want to go ahead and announce the next few stretch goals. :) 

As I noted yesterday, at $2800, I will include ornate metal book corners. And here are a couple of additional stretch goals:

  • At $3000, Satin Ribbons will be included in the Hardcovers.
  • And at $3500, Printed Endpapers will be included in the Hardcovers, and New Chapter Headings will be included in the Ebooks and Paperbacks. 

I'm still in the process of designing the endpapers--I'll share them as soon as they're finished! And I'm still trying to decide whether to go with red or black ribbons (feel free to let me know which color you think would be better)!

In the meantime, don't forget to enter to win the Legally Undead Vampiric Giveaway--it offers tons of ways to share the project and get a chance to win vampire gear...along with a copy of my favorite vampire book (other than Legally Undead, of course)! :)

https://kingsumo.com/g/m55jvlm/legally-undead-vampiric-giveaway/

And remember: Only NINE more days in Booktopia!

See you again soon!

Has anyone else tried reporting this campaign to Backerkit? They have been thoroughly unhelpful and provided no information. I didn't request a refund in my report to them about this project and they acted like I'd demanded my money back with no cause. I honestly didn't and don't expect anything to come of this in terms of receiving either a refund or my pledge at this point and just wanted assurances that they would not allow this author to use their platform again and they didn't even acknowledge my concern. All they've said is they've reached out to the creator. No confirmation of if they got a response let alone what the response might have been.

Where is this project at in fulfillment? It has been a year already. I would like my money back.

I personally think this project is not happening, and we will not see a book or a refund. Unless a miracle happens. Very Disappointed. Even the backerkit safety and trust team have been quiet about what is going on.
