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.
