LGBT2Q+, feminist, multi-ethnic children's books back for another season!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
HI FRIENDS! We thought you might like to see that we’ve launched our Flamingo Rampant 2021 season Kickstarter - and it includes books for 8-12 year olds including PUBERTY: PICK YOUR PATH, a totally new approach to books about puberty. Any kid can explore lots of options, regardless of their gender identity or assigned sex at birth, and learn about friends' experiences too! If you have a few minutes to watch the video I think you’re going to LOVE what we’re making this year (and we’d love your support and any/all help in sharing the news!) We can't do it without YOU!
Dearest darlingest flamingo backers,
Good news: fulfillment of books should now be complete. If you backed the Kickstarter and you filled in your Backerkit survey, you should now have Flamingo Rampant books in your hot little hands. We sincerely hope you are enjoying them. Digital rewards (audiobook and coloring pages) will be sent in about two weeks, once the audio comes back from editing.
Bad news: it has become clear that somewhere in the Canadian shipping process, about 3 pages of labels did not merge to print. This seems to have affected ~36 backers, but sadly we have no way to tell which of you are still waiting from our end. If you live in Canada (or the EU) and have already written to report not receiving your books, we have packed them up for you and they will go out tomorrow morning. If you don't have your books yet, and you DID fill in your survey, please send an email to [email protected] and let us know. We're so very sorry for this.
Troubleshooting: are you unsure about whether you filled in your survey? We've re-sent ALL unfilled surveys today for people expecting books. Search your spam folder for "BackerKit" and you'll see it there.
Other news: We're running a sale through the end of the year, which will give you a free book with an order of three books or more. Please use the code ONEMORE on the website when you order and the price of one book will be deducted automagically.
Thanks so much for taking this wild journey into liberatory children's literature with us! Stay tuned until next time!
love and flamingos,
Bear
Dearest darlingest flamingos,
Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WHERE TO SEND YOUR BOOKS. Please respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https:///flamingo2019.backerkit.com.
If you used Facebook to log into Kickstarter, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account.
You read the whole update! Good work. Here's a little treat: the final covers of our new 2019 books!
I'm so excited to show you what we made!
love and flamingos,
Bear
Hello, fabulous Flamingo backers! Just a note to let you know that work is blazing along on your new, Flamingo Rampant books. All the stories are FINISHED and illustrators are busy, sketching and thumbnailing and making gorgeous things. Here are a few samples:
We'll be back with more beautiful things, updates, and progress reports as the books continue to progress, but we wanted to share some of the exciting early pieces that we're swooning over here at FR headquarters. Thanks so much for embarking on this work with us!
love and flamingos,
Bear Bergman
