BackerKit surveys are coming!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Aug 29, 2022 at 04:07:34 PM

Hi! I wanted to give you an update on the Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter!

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to 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!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

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://alien-bride-lottery.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://alien-bride-lottery.backerkit.com/faq.

The Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter Funded!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Aug 26, 2022 at 11:03:06 AM

The Alien Bride Lottery Hardcover Kickstarter has been funded. I'm really excited and thankful for all of you who backed this project!

As I get things sorted out and finish formatting the book, I'll keep you posted. It appears we're right on schedule to get everything out on time—and possibly even early! (But if there are any delays, I'll let you know as soon as I do.)

In the next week or two, I’ll be sending out surveys and gathering shipping and delivery information via Pledgebox so I can send you all your digital and physical perks. If, when you get it, you would fill out the survey in a timely fashion, I'll be able to deliver rewards quickly.

I have more exciting Kickstarters coming up in the next several months after all of this is delivered to you—one Kickstarter on my own and one with a publisher. For my solo Kickstarter, though, I’m still finalizing which of the alien romance projects I’ll do first. So I’d love it if you took a moment to tell me which of these projects interests you most! This quiz has only three questions, so it'll take just a moment:

Help Margo finalize her next solo Kickstarter publishing project.

Please subscribe to my Kickstarter email list so that you'll be the first to hear about the new projects. There will be some exciting early bird awards for the next one!

Again, thank you for all your support! I can't wait to dig in and start getting everything sent out to you!

A New Alien Bride Lottery Stretch Goal Reached!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Aug 14, 2022 at 08:12:57 PM

Stretch Goal #10 Unlocked!

The Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter just passed another stretch goal! In January 2023, I will be sending an audio annotation of Entered in the Alien Bride Lottery to all backers at the $5 and above level!

And as a bonus gift, I will send a magnet of the Alien Bride Lottery Vol. 1 to all backers whose pledges include physical merchandise.

We still have three days left in the Kickstarter, and these are the next two stretch goal rewards: 

Stretch Goal 11: Every backer at $5 and above will receive an Alien Bride Lottery pin or keychain and every backer whose pledge level includes physical merch will receive a paperback copy of Betrayed by the Alien Bride Lottery.

Stretch Goal 12: I’ll send an audio file of the second Alien Bride Lottery short, "Betrayed by the Alien Bride Lottery," read by the author (me!) to all backers at the $5 and above tiers.

To help us reach these goals, be sure to share the Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter by going here and clicking on the social media links!

The Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter Update #11: Another Stretch Goal Reached!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Aug 08, 2022 at 12:10:58 PM

Hi, y'all! We just reached the 9th stretch goal!

I'll be writing a second Alien Bride Lottery story entitled Betrayed by the Alien Bride Lottery to be sent to every backer digitally in January 2023. And I've added some gorgeous space-themed printable bookmarks as a bonus perk.

For the next stretch goal, I’ll send an audio annotation of the first book, Entered in the Alien Bride Lottery,  to all backers at the $5 and above level.

We're down to the last ten days of the campaign! Anyone who pledges between now and August 14 will get these bonus books, so I'd love it if you continued getting the word out about The Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter project.

In case you missed it before:

I’m already planning out my next couple of projects—but I’d like to get your input on which one(s) I should set up as Kickstarters first! None of these will go live before the current Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter is done, of course, but I’ll need to start gathering up the extras that I’ll be giving away as bonuses during the Kickstarter run.

Right now, I’ve got six possible series ideas. Five of these are connected to new series: Alien Guardians, Alien War Brides, Abracadabra Apocalypse, Shadow Chronicles, or Borrowed Wings. OR I could use Kickstarter to finish out my Star Mate Interstellar Shifters series. You can see some of the covers from the projects below, and I’d love it if you took the quiz to let me know which one I should start with! 

Remember to Enter to Win

And as long as you're sharing information about the campaign anyway, you should enter for the chance to win an exclusive Alien Romance Premium Swag Pack! (These are different from the goodies available via Kickstarter, just FYI.)

Support Publishing on Kickstarter!

While I continue to decide what to do next time, please do continue to support this campaign by sharing the info about the book and rewards with a friend!

Finally, before you go, check out these great publishing campaigns by other authors, too!
