Greetings friends,
Great news! Our campaign has been extended by Publishizer to January 1st so now we have the entire Christmas season to get the word out! I so appreciate your individual support of the campaign and how so many of you are sharing it on social media, with friends and your church.
I have received several really great questions about the campaign and have asked Publishizer to add a FAQ section to my campaign page. To save you the trouble of scrolling here it is:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: When will I get my book?
A: The link to a video copy of the book will be emailed to you this Christmas season. After the campaign is over and we receive offers from publishers, we will select the publisher that is the best fit for our project and begin the process of getting it into print. Our goal is to ship all of the physical rewards (book, Christmas card(s) etc) by mid to late 2024. And there is every reason to think that this is a very realistic timeframe as the manuscript and all its art is complete. While we will make every effort to deliver everything before Christmas of 2024, anyone who has ever backed a crowdfunding campaign knows we cannot promise any hard and fast dates for delivery.
Q: What happens if the campaign doesn’t reach 500?
A: Everyone will still get what was promised to them but we will fall short of the goal of giving the book a larger platform to reach more families across the country.
Q: Why should I back this now rather than wait for it to go to retail?
A: If we aren’t able to get at least 500 preorders it will never make it to retail. By supporting this campaign, you are helping make this project a reality when it otherwise would have never been published. As a thank you for your support, you are also getting special pricing and gifts on Christmas cards and artwork, which will have a MUCH higher MSRP after the campaign ends.
Q: What will be the book’s size, shape, cover, etc?
A: The publisher will determine the book's final design. We have created some sample representations to give people an idea of what we envision the book will look like, but it is impossible to say for sure until we receive feedback from the publisher who knows what will do best in the retail market. While the publisher may make some content revisions, the book will contain the same story and art you have all fallen in love with.
Q: Why don’t any of the characters have faces?
A: We hope that every child who reads this book knows that Jesus came because He loves them regardless of their ethnic background. As Jesus is telling His story to the children, we want each child to see themselves in the faces of the book. Faceless characters also allow us to use this book to reach other cultures who would be turned off by depictions of individuals' faces.
I have emailed to each of the backers who pledged 11/17 and before (I will be sending it out in batches so if you pledged this morning you will get it soon). If you don't see the email check your spam folder.
