BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
When will backers receive their rewards?
We'll do our best to ship the rewards before the book is released to the mass market (July 2024).
What happens if the project doesn't reach its funding goal?
You won't get the book at a special discount with the option of the rewards, but the book will be printed anyway and released into the mass market.
How do you handle shipping and delivery?
We partner with Diamond, a trusted distributor renowned for servicing comic book shops and bookstores. With their extensive experience in the industry, Diamond has recently expanded into the fulfillment process business, ensuring that orders are handled efficiently and with the utmost care. By leveraging Diamond's expertise and infrastructure, we can guarantee reliable shipping and delivery for all backers' orders.
Are there any exclusives or bonuses for early backers?
Yes! Backers who support the project during the first 48 hours will receive a free digital copy of "I, Dragon vol. 1". Additionally, the main cover will be available at a special discounted price during the same timeframe.
