What will you limit your Lettered and Rare Editions to?
The Lettered Editions will be limited to 104. Well, 102, since the Grim Oak Press shelves would be incomplete without a copy (or two)! The Rare Editions will be limited to 50, ten are available for the INK & QUILL and IMMORTAL INK & QUILL pledge levels, the other 40 will be purchasable as add-ons after the completion of the campaign. The S&N editions are limited to 500.

Will a version of The King-Killing Queen Hardcover be released in bookstores, or made available online? What about the original graphic novel, The Briar-Sword Monk?
There will be a version of The King-Killing Queen hardcover available in bookstores after completion of this campaign. However, it won’t feature all of the goodies that the version that you will receive when you back this campaign has. There are currently no plans to release The Briar-Sword Monk to bookstores or online retailers after this campaign. The ONLY way to get a copy is to pledge this campaign!

Is The King-Killing Queen a standalone novel or part of series?
The King-Killing Queen is the start of a new trilogy, the Old World Tales. It is historically connected to Shawn Speakman’s Annwn Cycle books but both series can be read on their own.

How do I buy the add-ons? Should I add money to my pledge now or later?
You will be able to buy add-ons after the campaign ends through a service called BackerKit, however if you pledge the extra money now, those funds will be credited toward those future purchases and apply toward the campaign’s stretch goals! To add money to your pledge, simply click MANAGE YOUR PLEDGE to add to your total amount.

What is BackerKit?
About a week after the campaign ends, you will be sent a survey through a service called BackerKit – this is where you will confirm your shipping address and purchase any of our wonderful add-ons. If you added extra funds during the campaign, they will show as a credit in BackerKit which you can then use towards the add-ons you’d like. We’ll be using this service to ensure all of your beautiful books and sundry make their way to your shelves!

What is a Tuckerization?
Tuckerization (or tuckerism) is the term for naming a character in a story after a real person. The term came from Wilson Tucker, a pioneering American science fiction writer, fan, and fanzine editor, who often used his friends’ names for minor characters in his stories.

What is a Remarque?
A remarque is a drawn, etched, or incised scribble or sketch done on the margin of a printing plate usually removed before regular printing takes place. In this case it means that Nate Taylor will inscribe something inside your copy of The King-Killing Queen!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
