Campaign Success, now what?
over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 04:00:14 PM

Hi everyone!

Before I get to explaining what comes next I want to extend a HUGE WARM THANK YOUUUU to all of you for your help in making this project the success that it was!  We are now sitting on TWO stories you will be able to choose from: IPHIGENIA and MEDUSA.

  • Those who backed the HIND, (EARLY) MORTAL, ROYAL and WARRIOR tiers will get to choose which story they would like out of the two unlocked stories.
  • Those who backed the DEMIGOD and GODDESS tiers will automatically have both books added to their rewards.

For those who wish to ADD the second story, we are working with BackerKit on this campaign as with our previous campaigns and you will be able to add-on to your pledges when the surveys are sent out.

Timeline

Because we have two stories unlocked now, we have two slightly different timelines for the books.  Both begin the same:

  • 09/27/19 -- Kickstarter funds received.
  • 09/30/19 -- BackerKit surveys sent out, addresses are NOT locked until we are ready to ship!!

IPHIGENIA: For those who select IPHIGENIA and no MEDUSA is added...

  • 09/30/19 -- IPHIGENIA story edits complete.
  • 10/31/19 -- IPHIGENIA illustrations complete, book files complete, digital copies sent out (give or take a few days)
  • 12/06/19 -- IPHIGENIA copies printed & received, we begin shipping rewards that do NOT contain MEDUSA books.

MEDUSA: For those who select MEDUSA as their reward (and/or add it to their pledges) the timeline will be slightly extended to complete the writing of the story and to accommodate editors with a good editing time.  This is the LOOSE timeline for MEDUSA:

  • 11/30/19 -- MEDUSA is written and handed to Editors for text Editing.
  • 01/31/20 -- MEDUSA is edited & tweaked, illustrations are completed, file is assembled and formatted.
  • 03/06/20 -- MEDUSA copies printed and received, we ship the rest of the rewards pledged for MEDUSA.

These timelines are very rough at the moment but are very feasible for me in the upcoming months.  I will always communicate with backers should anything come up that causes any sort of delay but these dates account for a lot of wiggle room in between stages.

Feel free to reply to this post with any questions you may have!  Please don't forget to check your e-mails and be sure that the e-mail associated with your Kickstarter account is one that we can reach you at readily should we need to get a hold of you concerning your rewards!

Thank you all again SO much for all of your love and support for this project!  We are going to work extremely hard to produce a couple of beautiful books to keep in your personal libraries <3

Take care!
