Frequently Asked Questions

I'm aiming to fulfill all rewards from this campaign between May and June of 2027.

If all goes according to plan, Lovely Terrors will be published "wide" in Q4 2027, meaning it will be available to purchase online from most book retailers. If you back this campaign, you'll receive the book months ahead of its publication date.

Short answer: I'm not sure. If this crowdfund fails, I would not have the resources to compensate the authors, and therefore I'd have to explore different publication avenues such as shared royalties, or else retry crowdfunding at a later date. Either of these options would push back the publication timeline significantly.

Nope, not this time! The stories included in this anthology are finalized and there will not be an open submission window.

None at all. I am strictly anti-AI. All featured authors were required to include a statement with their submission confirming that no AI was used in the creation of their stories. Furthermore, all contributing authors reaffirmed this statement in their contracts. I (the editor) will certainly not be using AI for editorial purposes, and there was also no AI utilized in the creation of the cover art.

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.
