We did it! The Shard of Elan special editions (and more) are GO.
I know you may be receiving a virtual onslaught of backer emails right now, if you backed multiple Printopia projects, so I hope this one comes quietly into your inbox and is ready when you need to check it. :)
The special editions are in production, and the other add-ons are stacked and waiting. Pledges typically need a couple of weeks to clear, and then I'll send backer surveys to finalize your details. If you haven't done much with Backerkit before, it can be easy to miss these, so please keep an eye on your inbox; without a complete survey, you won't receive your backer rewards.
Expect surveys about the third week of October. (Date will depend on when pledges clear Backerkit.) The survey will settle important details such as where to ship your new boxed set, or whether you want that add-on title in ebook, paperback, audio, or hardback. Then your shipping costs for physical rewards will be calculated and charged.
I'll keep you updated on shipping timelines as I know more. Please let me know if you have any questions!
The red numerals count down, the second hand flicks around the face, it's ALMOST THE END

Hi! I'm just popping in to deliver one of the following messages:
- THANK YOU for backing this project already, or
- LAST CHANCE to back this project you followed for a reason before it closes
If you need another reason to back, or if you need a reason to congratulate yourself on your backing, try one of these:
- These special editions are already in production and are meant to be shipped from me to you in November. I want them to reach US addresses in time for the holidays.
- If you're not in the US and need a pretty printable card to inform a recipient of what's en route to them, I will provide one!
- These special editions are not listed on any retailers, but are available only direct from the author. You can't change your mind and use Amazon Prime.
- Speaking of reasons to buy direct, did you know that I delivered a new story to backers of my epic fantasy duology fulfilled in 2025? All their bonus ebooks just got longer this week, a year later. Try doing that on Amazon!
- You really want those two cool burnout bookmarks from my partner project and me.
- You can plan to buy it at a con or faire next year, but then you have to carry about 9 pounds of hardbacks in the vendor hall or street, plus avoid spilling your drink on the case or absently setting it down somewhere. Or it can be delivered right to your door.
- These books are just so darned pretty. And the stories are that good.
Printopia and this campaign closes THURSDAY, OCT 1, so get your pledge in soon!

We funded in the first day -- thank you!
I want to remind you to check out the trivia. A new question will be posted approximately every other day, and there are prizes for the top score and for everyone who answers all questions by the end. And you might learn something along the way!
If you haven't looked at my collaboration partner's project, make sure to
check that out and get our two custom burnout bookmarks.
