How much is Shipping?

Shipping costs start at $6 for a book in the US, and international starts at $12. Everything is calculated by weight and will be invoiced post-campaign. VAT and local fees for international packages are not included. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a shipping quote.

How do I qualify for the cross-collab incentives?

Back this campaign and A Year of Broken River Zines campaign before both campaigns end to qualify for our special cross-collab bookmark incentives.
Note: group/cross-collab incentives will be offered only during live campaigns (not to pre-order store orders).

What's the timeline for rewards?

While the book is still in the creation phase, that is scheduled to be complete in November for editing and layout, and then after the final proofing process, the books will be printed and estimated to ship out to backers by March 2027. If anything shifts in the timeline, I’ll post an update! :)

Why aren't you shipping to the EU?

The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) is an European Union law (that took affect on August 12, 2026). It applies to any small business that ships physical products to customers inside the EU, meaning US e-commerce shops must follow strict rules on box sizes, materials, and waste tracking. There is no exemption for small businesses/microbusinesses or single e-commerce sellers. While I do my best to use compostable, recycled, or re-use materials in my packaging across ventures, I am unable to run through the bureaucratic hoops and costs associated with meeting these new requirements. So, until there is a refined guidance or an exception made for sole proprietor businesses, I can only say for this campaign: I’m sorry to the wonderful people who have supported my business and my campaigns from the EU.

(I don’t have the resources to investigate using an EU fulfillment option at the moment, but it is something I will look into.)

What is your Refund Policy?

Because campaign funds go directly into producing the books and merchandise, we’re not able to offer refunds. That said, if there are any issues with your rewards once they arrive, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll be happy to help make things right. Thank you so much for your support!

Can I share my digital zine copy with others?

Your digital copy is licensed for personal use only. Please do not share, distribute, or repost the file. If someone you know would like a copy, please direct them to the pre-order store, while it’s open, where they can get their own, or the MCC Zines group on facebook to lookout for the next project announcement.

BackerKit FAQ

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.
