Frequently Asked Questions

Regardless of whether this campaign is funded, I will still publish The Hollowed and The Hallowed, but it will likely be at a later date, and without a hardback edition. Should the campaign not fund, backers won’t be charged.

Shipping is not included in the pledge price and fees will be charged separately after the campaign, during pledge management, once final postage rates are confirmed so that I can allow for accurate shipping rates. Single paperbacks will ship to UK, USA, EU, AU, and Canada directly from IngramSpark - basically, wherever Ingram ship to! Books with art prints and bookmarks will be shipped directly by me, from the UK. Single hardbacks will be shipped by me or the manufacturer depending on the cost of shipping, in which case I will select the most cost-effective option for everyone. Note that shipping cost estimates are for single books. Packages with multiple books will be more expensive.

Shipping is not included in the pledge price and fees will be charged separately after the campaign, during pledge management, once final postage rates are confirmed, allowing for accurate shipping rates. Orders cannot be shipped until shipping has been paid.

I will take every precaution to get your package to you safely. I will be using tracked delivery, but in case your item is lost, please contact me at [email protected]. Likewise, if there is any damage done to your book before it reaches you, you can contact me and I can try and resolve it on my end with the postal service.

With final edits still to come, The Hollowed and The Hallowed currently has a wordcount of 157,000. The paperback will be released with a trim size of 5x8, wherein the page count is approximately 550 pages.

The eBook will be offered in epub format, which can be downloaded to your e-reader.

If the campaign funds, then hardback editions will only be available as a reward through this campaign for the time being. At a later date, and when my own funds allow, I would like to offer more copies.

As any creative individual should be, I am strongly against AI. I will never employ it, and neither will my chosen artists or anyone I work with.

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.
