Latest Updates from Our Project:

Box Kits All Sent Out
about 1 month ago – Sat, May 02, 2026 at 11:21:19 AM

All of the box kits have been sent out, and if you got one of the kits you should also have just gotten a digital download with the DIY binding guide. There are video demo links at the end of the guide document for you to follow along with when you're assembling your book. Please reach out to me at [email protected] if you're having access issues with the guide or videos.

Thanks; happy lorecrafting!

Ready for Fulfillment
about 2 months ago – Wed, Apr 15, 2026 at 04:21:48 PM

All the digital files are uploaded into their respective hosting stations, and those should have been distributed to everyone who got a digital reward. If you did not receive access yet, please check your spam folder to make sure you got everything you were supposed to from Backerkit. And of course if you're having trouble accessing anything you got, please reach out to Backerkit support or to me directly at [email protected] and I'll make sure you're good to go.

I'm packing up the kits this week, and the first batch is already loaded up and ready to mail out tomorrow morning. I should have most of the kits mailed out by this weekend; they'll be a few stragglers going out early next week.

Thanks so much; I hope you enjoy your project!
 

Surveys On The Way
2 months ago – Fri, Mar 27, 2026 at 11:03:48 AM

The surveys should be going out to everyone at the moment. If you're not seeing it in your inbox, check the spam folder for emails from Backerkit; sometimes the Apple mail and protonmail in particular will automatically segregate Backerkit messages to spam. The surveys are particularly important if you got one of the box kits; I'll need to make sure I know where to mail yours to!

I'm getting all the digital materials uploaded on the hosting site at the moment, so I'll be posting another update in the next week to ten days once all the processing is wrapped up notifying you when the access emails emails go out.

Very exciting stuff for us; my kids have already been having a blast with King Arthur coloring pages and story times!

Correction to Survey Timeline
3 months ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 10:31:37 AM

Correction: In the last update I said the Backerkit surveys would be going out today or tomorrow, but those are supposed to wait until closer to the fulfillment dates, so expect those around the 26th. 

Thanks!

Success!
3 months ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 03:23:08 PM

Thank you everyone for contributing to make this campaign successful! I'm very excited to get these projects out to you - I finished my first book and painted it up, and I'm making one with my daughter this week and filming the process for the tutorial. She's already had so much fun with these, and is obsessively painting the illuminations for hers.


I'm putting together the Backerkit survey this evening, so keep an eye on your email inbox for that over the next day or two. I'll only need email addresses for the digital-only pledges, but if you got one of the box kits make sure there's a good mailing address for delivery. For those as well you'll be asked to make a selection about whether you want your pages with the text already done and ready (in case you just want to paint it, not do the calligraphy), or if you want the text faint so you can do the calligraphy tracing and hand-write it yourself. You'll get the calligraphy pens and instructional materials either way, but you will have that option to get the finished text if you only want to do the painting.

Thank you all!
