What’s a Kickstarter and why’s Camy doing one?
My Kickstarter is a crowdfunding campaign to fund the production of a Special Edition hardcover with dust jacket of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 3: Aggressor and Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 4: Betrayer.
Backers will also be able to get the Special Edition hardcovers for Volumes 1 and 2, which were funded in my last Kickstarter campaign. Eventually I would like to do Special Edition hardcovers of all the books in the series.
For all you avid fans of the series, this Kickstarter will also offer an early release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 9: Shelter. However, the main focus of this campaign is the Special Edition hardcover of books 3 and 4.
Kickstarter isn’t a shopping website, but I admit I kind of feel like I’m shopping when I back a campaign for books or items that look fantastic!
Why Kickstarter:
Kickstarter enables me to produce the kinds of gorgeous special editions that I love and offer them to you, my readers, so you can join with me in squeeing over the pretty books.
It also enables me to get direct feedback from readers about exactly what you want.
Additionally, Kickstarter lets me do an early release of my latest book for fans who really love the series. Readers will get hold of this book before it’s available on any retailer.
On Kickstarter, I can be as weird as I want and release books no matter how non-traditional they might be. This is a place made for rampant creativity.
I’m finally able to offer all these cool things to my readers—I hope you enjoy them!
How Kickstarter works:
In a Kickstarter campaign, first you pick the tier you want to pledge for, then pick any add-ons you want to add to your pledge. Add-ons are like when you go to the grocery store and pick up soda and gum while you’re waiting in the checkout line. Some of the add-ons are already included in some of the tiers, so you can mix and match as you like.
Your credit card won’t be charged until the end of the Kickstarter campaign and you can change your pledge as often as you want before then.
Don’t know how to use Kickstarter? My friend Jonathan made a video to walk you through making an account and how to pledge.
After the campaign, I’ll send you a survey (basically a form to fill out). This will be the place to give me the name you want me to sign the book to, your mailing address, and any other contact information. I’ll also need to know the spelling of your name for the acknowledgments in the back of the Special Edition hardcover book.
I’ll receive the funds 21 days after the campaign ends and then I’ll start ordering books.
The estimated delivery date is very conservative, but I’m hoping to get your rewards to you within 6 months. Hopefully, there won’t be any unforeseen complications or delays.
