Pledge Over Time - 3rd Payment! Remaining Surveys Being Sent!
7 days ago – Tue, Apr 28, 2026 at 09:42:10 AM

Hey there everyone!
 

Final Pledge Over Time Payment!

We wanted to check in real quick to let all the Pledge Over Time folks that they should be expecting to see the third (and final!) charge for their pledge today or in the next few days.

As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.

Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.

Remaining Surveys Being Sent!

Since the smoke test at the end of March was a success, we'll be sending out ALL remaining surveys today! It may take a little bit for Backerkit to process they surveys being sent, maybe even a few days, so we appreciate your patience!

If you do not see your invite email show up by the end of next week, please take a look at the following:

  • Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. If you don't see anything come through from Backerkit check your spam folder first.
  • Apple ID Email Addresses: If the email address tied to your Kickstarter account is a secure Apple ID address, the survey email may be blocked entirely. The email addresses look something like this:  "[email protected]".  If you're not seeing the email from Backerkit, check to see if your email address looks like one of these. If it does, we recommend that you first change that email in Kickstarter so you avoid any future issues.
  • Once you've checked both of those things send us a message here or send an email to [email protected] to let us know what your updated email address is.

If you are a Late-Pledge backer (you didn't back the project while the campaign was live)...

You will not receive a survey as all the necessary information we need is collected upon check-out!

Going Forward

Here is what you can expect in the coming months as we work on fulfilling this project.

  • First, please remember that we operate on a 12-14 month production and fulfillment schedule.
  • As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us one to two times a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
  • Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
  • With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. ❤️

GETTING SUPPORT...

There are 1-2 of us who monitor support emails. We'll introduce ourselves in a future update, but for the moment, we want to fill y'all in on our availability.

First, we work 8am-4pm EST, Monday-Friday, excluding all US Holidays. If you contact us via email ([email protected]), you can expect us to reply in 3-5 business days, though typically much sooner than that. 

A Wraithmarked Update... BookCon!
13 days ago – Wed, Apr 22, 2026 at 01:02:50 PM

Hey there everyone!

Firstly, we hope you're well and your week has been lovely so far! Apologies for the copy/paste nature to this part of the update as we have lots of campaigns to touch on! We just wanted to update everyone and say... THANK YOU!

As some of you know, Wraithmarked attended our very first BookCon located in NYC! This was our first time ever coming to this convention and it was such a wonderful trip for us. We had a BLAST and it was definitely unlike any of the other conventions we've been to. As always, y'all came out to support us, and we couldn't be more grateful. Some of you also may have gotten a couple sneak peeks! ;)

We snapped a few pictures - take a look!

We just wanted to reach out and say thank you. It's always lovely to put faces to names, chitchat about campaign progress, find out what everyone's reading, share some behind-the-scenes art, and show off early copies of our books in-person (soon to be fulfilled books)! 

We'd absolutely love to go again next year, and if so, we'll be sure to shout it out beforehand! Have a great rest of your week, everyone! <3

NON PLEDGE OVER TIME BACKERS: This Update is for You! First Round of Surveys Going Out!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Apr 02, 2026 at 11:19:01 AM

Hey there, folks!

Since the smoke test was a success, we'll be sending out surveys today! This only affects those who OPTED OUT for Pledge Over Time, as those payments should have just been completed! It may take a little bit for Backerkit to process they surveys being sent, maybe even a few days, so we appreciate your patience!

If you do not see your invite email show up by the end of next week, please take a look at the following:

  • Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. If you don't see anything come through from Backerkit check your spam folder first.

If it does, we recommend that you first change that email in Kickstarter so you avoid any future issues.
  • Once you've checked both of those things send us a message here or send an email to [email protected] to let us know what your updated email address is.

If you opted in for Pledge Over Time and are reading this update...

You will not receive your survey at this time. Your payments will still be processing for another couple of months. We will communicate via update when you should expect to receive yours!

If you are a Late-Pledge backer (you didn't back the project while the campaign was live)...

You will not receive a survey as all the necessary information we need is collected upon check-out!

NON PLEDGE OVER TIME BACKERS: This Update is for You! Survey Smoke Test!
about 1 month ago – Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 05:56:57 AM

Hi there folks!

This update is only for folks who did not opt-in for Pledge Over Time.

We're just about ready to start sending out surveys to backers who did not opt-in for Pledge Over Time. The last piece of that process is what's called a 'smoke test'. To do this, we send out surveys to about 5% of backers to make sure everything in Backerkit is working as it should and that we haven't broken anything. We'll be conducting this test over the next couple of days, so those 5% of surveys will go out today. If everything goes well, you can expect the rest of the surveys to go out by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest!

While we do that, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

  • Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. Once we announce that all surveys have gone out, if you don't see anything come through from Backerkit, check your spam folder first.
  • Apple ID Email Addresses: If the email address tied to your Kickstarter account is a secure Apple ID address, the survey email may be blocked entirely. The email addresses look something like this:  "[email protected]". Again, once all surveys go out, if you're not seeing the email from Backerkit, check to see if your email looks like one of these. You can try contacting Kickstarter support to change that, though we've seen backers have mixed results.
  • If either of the above situations is the case, or you can't find your email invite at all, please email [email protected] to let us know, and we'll get that straightened out for you. To expedite the process, please provide us with your name, backer number, or the AppleID email address so we can locate your account!
  • If you send us a message on Kickstarter, we may request that you send the message to our support email instead. Thank you.

If you opted in for Pledge Over Time and are reading this update...

You will not receive your survey at this time. Your payments will still be processing for another couple of months. We will communicate via update when you should expect to receive yours!

Pledge Over Time - 2nd Payment! And... An Upcoming Campaign!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 10:18:45 AM

Hey everyone!
 

Pledge Over Time - 2nd Payment!

We wanted to check in to let all the Pledge Over Time folks that they should be expecting to see the second of three charges for their pledge today or in the next few days. There will be one final payment after this on or around April 27th. Once those have been completed, we'll be sending surveys out to all Pledge Over Time backers. We expect that to happen on or around April 27th, as well.

As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.

Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.
 

GETTING SUPPORT...

Finally, if you require assistance with your pledge or have another question that does not pertain to Pledge Over Time, please send an email to [email protected]. We’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm EST, and will be happy to help however we can (it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to get back to you, but we do answer all tickets in need of a response).
 
 

THE ULTIMATE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY OMNIBUS

This one seemed like something a lot of you guys might like to be aware of!

On May 5th, Wraithmarked will be releasing what we believe could be considered the most ambitious omnibus edition of Douglas Adam's THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY series ever produced.

As in not only is it a full-color book, but it's going to include 42 full-color illustrations. And that's JUST the interior art. So add in the Smyth-sewn binding. And acid-free paper. And custom covers. And end sheets. And cloth wrapping. And... Well... You get the picture.

There's more detail and a LOT more art revealed on the pre-launch page, so take a look if it interests any of you guys! As always, this will be a single-print run with campaign exclusive discounts, so Kickstarter is the only place you can guarantee your copy and get it at a discount!

Cheers! <3
