Hi everybody!
Turns out Backerkit strongly recommends waiting two weeks instead of just one before sending out backer surveys, so expect them to hit your inbox about this time next week.
Meanwhile, I'll be rabbiting away at getting the book ready to ship on schedule.
Thanks again so much for your enthusiasm and support. This has been truly a privilege.
Best and thanks

Holy cow did we do it.
$1,700 was our goal. $8,199 was what we raised.
Thank you all so much.
I'm going to go sleep for three consecutive days. Next week, expect to receive your backer survey emails. They'll tell you how to name the library you supported, how to claim your rewards, and all that good mojo.
For now: thank you all again.
Best

24 Hours Remaining! More Bonus Rewards!

We are 24 hours from the end, and I still have trouble believing what we have accomplished together:
- Funded fully in under 2 hours.
- Trending toward 500% funding.
- Collected donations of 251 books for local schools.
- Got featured on 4 podcasts, 3 newspapers, and a radio station.
- Raised $8,000 in less than four weeks.
- Made me do an ice bucket challenge, donate four hours toward literacy education, and drink 18 beers.
I’m so proud and humbled by this team effort, words fail even my verbose self. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU.
But we’re not done yet. I have one goal left to fulfill: hit that 500% mark with $8,500 worth of backing. To make that happen I’m resurrecting the library benefit for the final 24 hours, but with a twist. Everybody who backs us, or increases their donation by even $1 in this last day, gets an electronic copy of the book donated to a library we’ll help you find. Did you know you could even do that? I only recently learned that was true. That’s good from now until we close at 9 PST tomorrow night.
What say ye?
Best and Thanks,

JUST SO MANY BOOKS!!!

Hi everybody!
We are doing so well, I'm just beside myself with joy and gratitude.
But it's not over. Miles to go before we etc.
And to help us travel those miles, our contributors have done the most amazing thing. A bunch of them have put in an e-copy of one of their full-length books, and you can have the whole bundle for ten bucks.
Check out the new rewards. Add 10-12 to what you've backed so far, and you can get 12 or more ebooks by people involved in this book.
How cool is that?
Also...if you do it today. I'm doing a promotion over on Facebook where I take a drink for every $10 backer or backer increase of $10 or more.
It is not coincidental that I set the buy-in for the ebook bundle at $10.
So whaddayasay? Support writers. Back a cool book. Damage my liver. All at the same time.
More to come.
As always, with gratitude.
Jason and the IBWS team.
