Surveys will be locked on Friday! Address and Card info up-to-date?
almost 5 years ago – Mon, Jul 01, 2019 at 09:57:31 PM

To access your survey follow this link : https://atcloudscomic.backerkit.com

Hey there! As some time has gone by a I thought I'd do a quick reminder.  I anticipate an advance copy of the final book arriving next week, Monday (July 8th), so I'll be locking the surveys this Friday. 

What does that mean? 

It means you can't make any more changes on your end and the ability for add-ons (including the fancy gold foil slipcase) will close. I will also be charging cards after the copy arrives so that I can deal with anything that might come up ahead of time.That way there are no delays in sending out the rewards!

When do rewards start being sent out? As long as there are no more delays, as of right now my estimated time frame for mailing out rewards will be end of August or beginning of September.

When the advance copy is in my hands and approved, it's my understanding that I'm giving the green lights to have the printing press roll! 


A note on Mailing Addresses: 

In case anyone is worried, as long as you tell me what your newly updated address is before I mail out the rewards I can always make changes on the backend. So please reach out at any time if you think you need to update your information.


cheers,

Melissa

Advance Copies should be arriving in about 2 weeks!

Good News, everyone!

So excited! AT LAST! Just got word in from Mark about the status of where we are at. Here is what he said:

“The advances are expected to be finished within a week. So that means by the end of next week or following Monday I expect them in my hands. After I review, I'll send it right off to you.”

I’ve learned so much during this process and I can’t thank you enough for your patience during this process. Can’t wait to have them in my hands so I can start sending them off to you!


Is your mailing address and Card info up to date?

As I'll be getting the advance copies I'll soon be charging cards on Backerkit for anyone who added extra rewards or preorders. A follow up post dedicated to this topic will be sent out to remind everyone to help make the process as smooth as possible!

Not sure? You can still check your survey to check.

There is still a handful of people haven’t filled out the survey on backer kit. It’s super important to do so as this is where I’ll be managing your rewards getting sent to you!


Postcards and Bookmark reward tiers

I should be getting the last postcard design within a week and as soon as I do I’ll be packaging them up to be mail ready. If your reward is only the bookmarks or postcards I see no reason to hold them up and I’ll start sending those out to backers.

That’s it for now!

cheers,

Melissa

Postcard design by Emily C. Martin

(note that text and border will not be printed on final postcard)

So excited to share this last design with you! Anyone who is receiving the Postcard Collection as a reward (or selected tier) will get this addition. Isn't it gorgeous? Ahh! I'm so grateful that she took the time to create this.

I'm sending this off to the printers today and I'll be sure to share a preview of all the postcards together when it comes in.

If you'd like to find out more about Emily's work here is a list of places you can find her:


Prints news:

According the estimated time frame I was given things should start rolling around this time with the printers. I've sent a follow up email with Mark so hopefully I hear back soon to confirm that everything is running smoothly! 

That's all to report at this time! 

all the best,

Melissa
