So there’s been a lot of great interest in THE DARK LORD AND THE SEAMSTRESS, and for that, I thank you! There have also been some questions, so I wanted to clear those up, and explain how Kickstarter works for those who are new to the program.

When you pledge for a project on kickstarter, the money doesn’t immediately come off your account. I, the creator, only receive money if the project is successfully backed. That is – I have requested $5,000 – if I get $5,000 of pledges, and the project is 100% backed, only THEN does the money come off your account and get funneled into my project account. If I don’t get 100% of my backing (or more!), then I receive 0% of the money. So you can pledge now, without worrying about payday, and arrange for the money to be available after September 13th, when the project closes.

To thank you for pledging/providing funds to help get this book made, I am offering little prizes and thank you gifts when you pledge at different dollar levels. Let’s take a closer look at them!

If you have any questions about the perks, please leave a comment below and I will answer!
