I intend to ship the vast majority of project rewards sometime during October 2026. This is true for all items related to the main project bundles, regardless of level. Though delays may occur between when project funding ends and that October 2026 estimate, I will be taking steps to make sure that there are as few delays as possible (hence the slight gap between project ending and shipping). There are a handful of stretch goal items which will NOT ship at the same time as the main rewards. They are as follows: - Alternate cover hardbacks, if selected, will not ship until November 2026 (estimated) - Mass market paperbacks will not ship until November 2026 (estimated) - Bonus post-Project Tasman novella earned in stretch goal 3 will not ship until March 2027 (estimated) - Bonus art print will not ship until March 2027 (estimated) - Project Tasman audiobook will not ship until November 2027 (estimated) If stretch goals that have delayed shipment items are reached, a survey for how you would like these shipped and their timing will be sent out shortly after the end of the crowdfunding period.

There are two types of art prints that are available as project rewards. The fine art prints mentioned in most tiers are flat fine art style prints that are matted on a flat mat. These are 4" x 6" and are very light. There is also the canvas print mentioned in the All-In Tier. This is a 4" x 6" stretched canvas print with a little stand that you can use to stand them up. This canvas print is exclusive to the all-in tier.

For rewards that require physical products to be shipped, I will be fulfilling via PirateShip so as to hopefully make things less chaotic for me during the shipping process. I am abiding by the current list they have of countries that are not accepting shipments from USPS or UPS listed here as of July 13, 2026. https://support.pirateship.com/en/articles/3859826-list-of-countries-not-currently-accepting-shipments-from-usps-or-ups This does prevent me from shipping to a number of countries, perhaps the most surprising of which is Timor-Leste, which continues to pop up in my life in weird ways despite me never having been there. It's a whole story.

Fuck. No.

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.
