Why Kickstarter?

Why Kickstarter? We seem to be connected and relatively successful writers in the film and television industry, why are we turning to crowdfunding? The truth is we have already had offers from publishers to take on this book.

We may well, at some point, end up with a traditional publisher distributing the book.

But we turned to Kickstarter for two simple reasons: One, as creators, we love the Kickstarter platform. You have an idea, you create it, sell it and launch it direct to the consumers. No middlemen. No red tape.

Secondly, but most importantly, is time. Time is the most precious commodity any human being has. The value of time hits us even harder as parents, watching our children grow up much, much, much too fast.

Corporations are slow. The publishing industry is no exception. We recently spent a year and half navigating a book deal on another project that in the end never materialized. Our children are dealing with loss - right now. As parents, we are coping with them growing up and perhaps reaching the end of childhood belief in magic - right now.

We didn’t want to wait to publish this book one or two years from now the traditional way. We wanted it for our kids, and yours, by the end of this year. While they still believe.

We are so incredibly grateful for everyone’s support. With your help we can have this book in everyone’s hands by the holidays!

Can I get any name in the back of the book?

Yes. If you order a physical tier that included a name in the printed version of the book, you can specify what name you would like. Could be a parent, a child, a pet, a friend, whatever name you would like to appear.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
