Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, probably after the full year is complete I will gather everything into a book format. Paying for the printing of that book will be a separate project. Right now I’m excited by the idea of having a year long experience with building support for creativity.

The time spent on activities for A Year of Creativity will average out to 1-2 hours per week. But it is adjustable depending on the individual person's needs and time constraints. Some people may skip some activities during a busy week. Others may decide to dive deep on a particular activity to really explore a part of their creative process or structure.

A Year of Creativity is a companion, not a sequel. It pulls from Structuring Life, but because the format is different it approaches some of the same information at a different angle. It also allows for experiences and information that could not easily be included in a book format. So reading SLSC can help, but it is not required. Everything you need to understand in order to participate in A Year of Creativity will be included in the Year of Creativity materials.

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.
