Survey Reminder & Fulfillment Timeline Updates
3 days ago
– Thu, May 16, 2024 at 07:50:17 PM
Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm doing my final review of the formatted files for Tarot for Fiction Writers today, and should be ready to order proof copies by tomorrow! We're so close to fulfillment time!
Speaking of fulfillment...I need your responses. Thank you to everyone who has already filled out your surveys, but if you haven't, please make sure you do , so I have all of your current shipping or digital delivery details needed to get your rewards to you.
Survey Responses Needed ASAP
Surveys went out a few weeks ago. I'm still missing surveys from 33 of you. Please make sure you get those filled out ASAP, because I'll be locking orders, charging cards (if you had any physical rewards with shipping fees or chose additional add-ons via BackerKit), and getting prepped for fulfillment soon.
Missed the Survey in Your Inbox? Use this Link.
If for any reason you missed your survey via email, you can access it here: https://tarot-for-fiction-writers.backerkit.com/
Fulfillment Updates
As, I mentioned, final proofing for the formatted Tarot for Fiction Writers files is almost complete, which means fulfillment will start soon!
Here are some timeline updates:
Ebooks should go out by the end of next week!
Tarot for Fiction Writer Paperbacks: As soon as I'm done proofing the formatted files and make any necessary changes, the files will be uploaded to my distributor, and I'll order a proof copy to make sure everything is as it should be. Once I receive and check the proof, I'll place orders. I'll be in touch with updates as I know more.
Notebooks and Spread Notes Journals: These are ready to go, and I'll order proofs at the same time as the paperbacks.
Tarot Spreads for Fiction Writer Paperbacks: I still have several days of formatting work on this book. After I'm done, proofs will be ordered, and I'll place orders to be shipped to you once I approve the proof.
Other digital campaign items (Quick Guides, Tarot Spreads for Fiction Writers Printable PDF): These are on track for somewhere in the last week of May or first week of June.
Tarot for Fiction Writers 101 Class: If you registered for the class, I'll be in touch early next week with details and instructions.
Consultations: If you booked consultations, I'll send a scheduling link sometime in early June.
If you have any questions, please reach out here or through BackerKit.
Take care,
Jessica
Look Out for Your Surveys + Sneak Peek of the Tarot Spreads Book
25 days ago

Hi everyone,
I've got a few updates for you.
Surveys
Good news! Shipping rate issues have been resolved, so surveys should start rolling out to backers tomorrow.
As a reminder, surveys will come via email from BackerKit. They go out to a limited number of backers first in what they call a smoke test to catch any potential problems before rolling out to everyone.
Please make sure to answer your surveys as soon as possible to make sure you get your rewards.
Production & A Peek at Some Pages from the Spreads Book
As far as production goes, I just got the final draft of Tarot for Fiction Writers back from my proofreader, so I'll be reconciling the changes and moving on to formatting next week.
I've also been working on the interior layouts for the Tarot Spreads for Fiction Writers book. Here's a preview of a few I finished this week:
If you have any questions, please message me here.
Take care,
Jessica

We did it! Tarot for Fiction Writers Is Funded and What To Expect Next
about 2 months ago
– Fri, Mar 29, 2024 at 11:14:52 AM
We did it!
Thank you so much to all of you who backed this project for being a part of getting Tarot for Fiction Writers out into the world. I really hope this will be a useful resource in your writing life.
Next, I want to share a bit about what you can expect in the fulfillment process.
Here's What You Can Expect Next
1. Kickstarter will transfer over the funds to me, the Project Creator, in 2-3 weeks. As long as the proofs look good, that's when I can start placing orders for paperbacks books, notebooks, and the Tarot Spread Notes Journal.
2. YOU will get a very important email called a "survey" from BackerKit. This is a form for you to pay for your shipping, get a final chance to grab additional add-ons from the campaign, and to tell me WHERE to ship or email your rewards. I do not know your mailing addresses or email addresses, so this is key to getting your rewards to you.
3. I’ll be reminding you about the survey again in future backer updates and on social media since this is so important.
4. I’ll be in touch with updates about the timeline of when to expect your rewards. I’m expecting sticker shipments soon! I’ll share pictures when I receive them and pics of proof copies of the books as they arrive.
5. Those of you who backed tiers or add-ons with consultations, workshops or classes, after all of the surveys are completed and the emails are turned over to me, you will receive an email with a voucher and instructions on how to book your consultation or enroll in your class.
Important Info about the Survey
It’s important to submit your responses to your survey as SOON as you can. I need this information to process your rewards. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey.
The survey will come from BackerKit
BackerKit is a super helpful pledge management system that save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing me with pledge management software to make it easy to process the rewards.
In the mean time, if you have any questions, please message me here.
Thank you again. I'm so grateful for all of your support for this project.
Take care,
Jessica

We're in the Final Hours of the Campaign
about 2 months ago
– Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 04:27:20 PM
Hi everyone,
We're down to the last few hours of the campaign! We're so close to crossing the $9k mark. We'll officially wrap up and toss confetti at 9pm PST tonight. I'm so grateful to all of your for backing and being a part of this.
Paperback Shipping Update
Several of you asked me to add your countries as shipping destinations for paperbacks. I've done the updates, and you should now be able to choose any of the tiers with paperback as rewards or add-ons to ship to:
Want me to add your country to the shipping list for paperbacks? Please message me here. Even if it's after the campaign closes, I can add a country option in BackerKit, the pledge manager I'll be using to collect addresses and streamline data from the campaign to get you your rewards. My printer and distributor, BookVault is based in the UK, so the only countries I can't ship to are those with trade embargos with the UK government.
