Dear Colouring Paradise Backers,
We just want to give you a heads up that our new Kickstarter campaign, Pulp Literature: Something Novel launched today.
This year we're raising funds to branch into novel publishing, starting with Pulp Lit favourites, Stella Ryman and the Fairmount Manor Mysteries by Mel Anastasiou and Allaigna's Song: Overture by JM Landels.
There are some sweet Earlybird rewards, including a pdf version of Mel's beautiful and clever writing guide, The Writer's Boon Companion. We're giving these away to the first 50 backers at any level, and right now there are only 12 left! Make tracks to the new campaign post-haste if you want to snag one!
Thank you as ever for your support, and see you on the Novel side ...
cheers,
Jen & Mel
We never get tired of opening up an envelope with a brand new print proof from First Choice Books. Today was a double squee-worthy moment though, as this one contained our very first colouring book. It's even prettier in person than it was in the pdf!
There's still time to order extra copies through Backerkit, which will stay open till December 14th:https://colouring-paradise-a-renaissance-inspired-coloring.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Can't wait till the whole shipment arrives and we can send them out to you!
Jen, Mel & Sue
Dear backers,
Thank you for making our Colouring Paradise a reality!
New this year, we're using Backerkit to help collect surveys to send out rewards. The coolest thing about this is that you can change your rewards -- swap for something else, or add on extras. Plus, those of you who missed the campaign can also get in on the action and buy colouring books or Pulp Literature subscriptions with the 'Pre-orders' section.
A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:
First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to go to print (this can take up to two weeks).
Second, we have to find out and where we need to ship them. We will be sending our BackerKit survey out to collect this information.
We will give you a heads up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can. Our ability to process your rewards depends on receiving this information.
If you need to change your survey answer, add or remove add-ons, or update your shipping information, you can click on the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on the project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
If you prefer, you can just message us and give us your information, but answering your BackerKit survey will help us get your rewards out to faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by automating the survey data gathering process and providing us with pledge management software to speed up fulfillment.
If you used Facebook to log into your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link will be sent to the email you used for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you'd prefer to use, please message us.
Third, we’re going to sleep for 48hrs straight. Running a campaign is exhausting!
Again, thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to send you your colouring books and the next issues of Pulp Lit!
Have a great weekend,
Jen, Mel & Sue
Thank you so much to all our backers who have contributed to making Colouring Paradise a reality!
To share our joy, here is another version of the Magpie -- two for joy, after all! -- this one by Heidi Bertiaume. Be sure to check out her fabulous website Vintage Coloring for reviews, colouring tips, free pages and colouring books featuring gorgeous19th century art.
Thank you once more for you support. You are all a part of this project, and you are in our hearts as we work on finalizing layouts to send to the printer tomorrow!
Jen, Sue & Mel
