Books starting to ship!

Copies of the Kickstarter editions of The Horror at Pooh Corner are going out! All of the backers (except one who needs to verify their address) in Canada, Australia, Hungary, and the United Kingdom have had their copies shipped. All of those have either been received or will be shortly. All of the signed/numbered trade paperbacks have gone out now (except one being held as the recipient is moving), so they should be received within the next week or so. We’ve received the non-signed trade paperbacks now, too, so those will be going out starting next week. We’re still waiting…

Kickstarter print books ordered!

All of the Kickstarter print copies of The Horror at Pooh Corner have been ordered (except for four non-US backers who haven’t yet verified their shipping address), so we’re within 2-3 weeks of shipping out the books to everyone. Thank you so much for supporting this project! Anyone who had the ebook as part of their backer tier has also received instructions on how to obtain it through BookFunnel. The general release version will become available for preorder in bookstores worldwide once all of the Kickstarter backers have had theirs shipped out, so watch your favorite bookstore for that. We…

Cover reveal for The Horror at Pooh Corner

This was posted last week to all of the backers, and now we can reveal the Kickstarter edition cover for The Horror at Pooh Corner to everyone else! I think Jessica Douglas did a fantastic job with it. There will (of course) be a few tweaks to it here and there, but this is pretty close to the final version.

We funded! And added some new tiers!

Thank you to everyone who has backed The Horror at Pooh Corner! We reached our funding goal (though we did have a couple people cancel pledges, so it bumped back down slightly). Please keep sharing the Kickstarter so we can reach those stretch goals (an exclusive Kickstarter-only cover, a map incorporating content from the stories in this volume, interior spot illustrations, and an audiobook). We’ve also added three new hardcover tiers for backers in celebration of reaching the funding goal: Hardcore Heffalump Hunter – You’ll receive a case laminate hardcover, the bookmark, and your name in the acknowledgements.

Step by step, we are making it!

Good morning, backers! Here we are at four days into the Kickstarter, and we’re 76% funded for The Horror at Pooh Corner! You are all amazing, and we here at Hemelein appreciate your support for this fun and quirky little project. If we continue at this rate (about $2100 per day on average), we’ll reach our main funding goal by the end of the first week! Thank you so much! Once we reach that goal (and I am confident we we will), we have our stretch goals already laid out: $15,001 – The Kickstarter edition of the trade paperback and…

Closing in on 50% funded!

Here it is, nearly midnight on the second day and we’re at 44% funded! I’ve seen a ton of people sharing the project with their friends and all over social media. That’s awesome and I want to thank everyone who has shared and backed The Horror at Pooh Corner. You are all awesome! We still have a little over $6100 to go to full fund, so please keep sharing the project on social media, telling your friends about it in person, and sharing it with your readers, clubs, and others. Based on the reactions of everyone we’ve talked to about…

Late evening of the first day, and we’re kicking it!

It’s approaching midnight on the first day of this Kickstarter, and I’m happy to report that we’re at 23% funding for The Horror at Pooh Corner anthology! That’s truly amazing for our first Kickstarter, and we owe it all to you, our backers. Thank you so much! On top of that, Kickstarter advised us that they’ve tagged the project as a “Project We Love”! This increases its exposure and helps spread the word to potential backers! We haven’t even reached 24 hours after launch, and they love it! Please help spread the love by sharing this project with any of…
