KICKSTARTER SUCCESS!

Chapter:

I’m still kind of stunned, all things considered–but after a 30 day campaign, we not only hit our $16,000 goal to self-publish a run of Volume One hardcovers, but we exceeded it by an additional $6,845. We earned 142% of our goal, and it’s all thanks to readers just like you; helping to pledge, spread the word, and encourage us to continue creating and building this wonderful world of the Western Deep.

We had 372 backers in total, and thanks to BackerKit, we’ll be able to continue to take orders for the book and any add-ons that folks might want. We’re still ironing out the details, but if you missed out on the campaign for any reason, don’t worry: you’ll still have a chance to get a book, pins, and/or prints!

Obviously our journey to create the definitive version of Western Deep: Volume One is only part-way complete! Now we advance into the actual production phase, where books are stitched, pins are shaped, and prints are…well, printed! There’s a lot of work remaining, so you can expect updates regularly as we move through the process.

I’d like to take this opportunity once again to thank you, the Western Deep community. When we launched our campaign, it was you who dove headlong into the campaign and helped not only to start us on the right foot, but also help us gain the traction needed to gain Kickstarter’s attention as a Project We Love, which helped us gain even more momentum going into the second week of the campaign, which ultimately set us up for the incredible success we just achieved.

And now, under normal circumstances, I would relax a bit this weekend–but alas, there is still much work to be done! See you all next week, and don’t forget that you can follow along with our Kickstarter updates by visiting the post-campaign updates page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2036424072/beyond-the-western-deep-volume-one
