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.

When will I receive my copy of The Bright Spot

The Bright Spot is projected to release for backers sometime in the first half of 2025. It will be available commercially 3 months after. If everything goes smoothly, you should receive your copies within a couple of days after release. Your E-book and audiobook code will be sent to your email as soon as the book is released. As of now, The Bright Spot releases on May 1st, 2025, but things are subject to change.

How does the Backerkit Cross Collab Rewards work

Belinda Crawford and I have partnered up in collaboration for Booktopia 2024. We will each be doing a set of 3 Oracle cards. To receive the oracle cards, you must back BOTH of our projects and BOTH of our projects must become fully funded. You will not receive The Bright Spot themed oracle cards if you do not pledge to Belinda Crawfords Campaign also. https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/971011e5-d3a1-4064-91cc-a2229c4dc244/landing
