Please look out in your inbox for an email from Backerkit, showing you how to fill in your survey with address and other relevant info so we can ship your rewards to you in October.
We've only given you 2 weeks to supply this info before we lock everything up, so as to get rewards delivered in such a small window so PLEASE do this as soon as you can.
You also have the opportunity to purchase add-ons in our Backerkit store including extra copies of the Winter's Tale hardback (this will not be available for sale in the future!), stickers, etc. We also have some great pricing for some classic TPP publications, including ebooks.
If you want to upgrade your pledge at this time, you can also do that -- lots of flexibility!
Thanks so much for supporting Winter's Tale. We look forward to sharing our next project with you very soon.

Thank you all so much for your support of Winter's Tale.
We just edged over the line with less than a day to go, which is a lot closer than we'd have liked it to be! We are so delighted to be able to bring this to you, and soon.
Keep an eye out for an email from Backerkit in your near future, to help us manage your rewards.
All the best from the VERY RELIEVED crew at Twelfth Planet Press central!
24 hours to go and we're nearly there...

Can you believe we're this close to the end of the Kickstarter???
With around 24 hours still to go, we're looking at a nail-biting finish. We still need $635 to fund the project, and if we don't hit that $10,000 we don't get ANYTHING.
But 24 hours is a long time in Kickstarterland.
How can you help us get over that finish line?
As a backer, you've already done the best possible thing for us and we are so grateful for your support. If you want to help us more, though, here are some things you can do:
- Signal boost, tell everyone! RTs and shares on social media are the best, but writing your own post about why you're supporting this fabulous project are even better.
- Upgrade your pledge! There are still some juicy rewards left, including only TWO at the Drinking Glass level and THREE at the Fairy Knit level.
- Add-on! Any money you add to your pledge now without shifting your reward level will be available as credit in the Backerkit store. So if you know that you want extra stickers ($8 a set), paperbacks ($25 each) or hardbacks ($35 each) to add to your rewards, you can put that money in now and help us get to the end.
- wish us well and cheer us on! Honestly, you've done enough.
We're so grateful to have spotted so many of you promoting and cheering on this important book across social media as unofficial TPP Ambassadors. Thanks so much for being here with us. This particular project has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster but we have faith that we will get over the line.
WE CAN DO THE THING! Watch us go.

Thank you all for your support of Winter's Tale! We're excited to be so close to the finishing line... but we still have a way to go.
We just announced the fourth and final sticker in our rewards set: the hare-and-Winter skateboard as seen on the front cover!
This is the full set of illustrations that will be turned into high quality art stickers:
Everyone at $75 and above will automatically get the sticker set as a bonus reward. There's a stickers-and-pdf pledge level at $10. And everyone will have the opportunity to add a sticker set to any reward level in Backerkit after we fund.
Many of you have asked about whether you'll be able to add extra copies of the paperback or hardback book in the Backerkit -- and yes, you can!
In fact, if you add extra money to your pledge now, that will be available for you as credit to spend in Backerkit on all kinds of cool extras - and it has the benefit of helping us get to our funding goal!
BACKERKIT BASICS
- Winter's Tale paperback - $25
- Winter's Tale hardback - $35
- Winter's Tale sticker set - $8
Keep on sharing and retweeting. We are so grateful for your support. We're excited to be making this book, and there are more exciting TPP projects on the horizon very soon...

Hi all!
New backers, thank you so much for supporting this book.
Also huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the TPP table at Dublin Worldcon, to chat to Tsana or Miriam and pick up some books. We had a fantastic weekend of trading. Hopefully we'll see lots of you in New Zealand next year!
We passed $5000 on the Kickstarter this week, and announced the second sticker to be included in the rewards set -- it's Wren on her skateboard!
Shauna said: "This was one of my favourite pieces to design. Lots of skating reference picks. Despite the name Wren, this character was designed using The Welcome Swallow (one of my favourite little Australian birds) as a reference."
We have only 9 days left of this campaign, and it's turning into more of a nail-biter than we expected! If you have friends, family or colleagues who you think would be interested in preordering this magical book, please pass it on.
Alisa has started a virtual Book party on Facebook to entertain us through this next leg of the Kickstarter, and to celebrate Children's Book Week here in Australia, a time of elaborate and inventive costume making for schools and libraries around the country (oh, remind me I have to pick up some gold braid and make a few cardboard escapology locks this week).
The Facebook party will be going on until Sunday, and include games, prize giveaways and other fun stuff over the week. You are all very welcome to join us.
