Quick update
We were approved for Backerkit! A Backerkit campaign allows you to add more items to your current order or to change reward tiers. There is also a pre-order store which allows non-backers to buy the add-ons!
A smoke test survey will be sent to 5% of the backers shortly, and once that is complete, the survey will go out to everyone else.
New Stretch Goal
As we are able to raise more funds, we have a new stretch goal of $2500CAD on top of what we have already raised - This will allow us to create an audiobook version of the anthology!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out, we want this to go as smoothly as possible!

Thank you for making our project a reality!
We remembered that BackerKit exists, so we've decided to set one up so you can change your pledge if you like, or add addons.
We wanted to give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
If you prefer, you can contact me directly and give me your information, but answering your survey help us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

Only 48 hours left to back this campaign! If you already have, thank you! You have our endless gratitude. Together we have managed to raise over $1750! We hit our last stretch goal, but upon further investigation, we likely won't be able to pay for professional editing, as industry rate is around $1000usd, and that would eat up the majority of our campaign funds. We will however use the money to go towards next year's campaign so we can pay our authors upfront, and to look into additional advertising.
Thank you again, your support means everything!

We hit our goal of $750 dollars today! Of course, shipping has to come out of that first, so we don't take $750 home, but we are getting there! All the support is greatly appreciated, with this money we will be able to pay for professional cover art, interior illustrations, and an advertising campaign for the eBook.
To celebrate we are launching some stretch goals! No one likes getting paid in exposure, so our first goal is to raise an additional $250CAD, which will allow us to pay each author $10CAD. It's still a token payment, but better than nothing!
We also are introducing a stretch goal of $1750, which would allow us to hire a (cheaper) professional editor. A professional editor starts around $750, so we have to make this goal quite high to make sure we can cover the cost.
Again, thank you so much for the support! If you are unable to financially support this campaign, feel free to share on social media, or tell your friends! Anything helps :)
