Back To Earth - A Sapphic, Post-Apocalyptic Graphic Novel

TLDR: Please check payment info

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that Backerkit has started charging cards for the project so you can expect a charge from them to appear on your statement :) Please make sure to check your emails or charges to see if your pledge went through.

As of now, we have about 2.3k in funds that couldn't be processed because cards returned various error messages. Please make sure that your card number is entered correctly, along with the CVC and that it is authorized for such purchases (crowdfunding ones). Sometimes banks flags Backerkit payments as irregular and need extra confirmation to process (even if you're a frequent backer).

If you need any help updating/fixing your payment method, you can refer to this handy article (don't forget to 'Confirm Pledge' again at the end of the process to make sure the changes are taken into account):

We thank you for your comprehension and for checking that everything is okay on your end. Since those funds are for part of the printing as well as for the stretch goals, we'd love to sort this out as quickly as possible to tell artists involved that they can get drawing :)

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions and/or inquiries.

MH, Kej & Ines

TLDR: Campaign has ended, but it is just the beginning!

Hey everyone!

The Back To Earth campaign has ended. It not only funded, it crushed through 2/3 of the stretch goals!

You get cool stickers, extra prints by amazing artists in the print sets, a variant cover option by the one and only Tula Lotay, and digital wallpapers!

And the thing is that we couldn’t have done any of it without you all 266 wonderful backers. We are beyond grateful for your support.

THANK YOU for believing in us and wanting to read about lesbians in love in a post-apocalyptic world💖

Stay tuned for more updates here and on our socials in the coming months as we work on finishing this to put it into your hands.

We can’t wait for y’all to meet Sasha & Leora!✨

Cheers,
MH, Kej & Ines

Hi everyone!

We are closing in on the end of this campaign, and I just wanted to send one last reminder for people who are possibly on the fence to make sure everybody knows there's only a few hours left to get a copy of the graphic novel along with any exclusives you might want to get if you so desire :) We are reserving those for the campaign so once the clock hits 0 they'll be gone. 

That also means the 1 original page (which is chosen by the backer among all the pages from the graphic novel) we have left, the print sets, and the stickers. We have been sold out of the original chibi doodles by Ines for a while and we can't wait to show you how cute they will be :)

There's also 2 copies of the Kiwi paperback left available, and don't forget that if you want both covers (Kej's and Tula's), make sure to add an extra paperback to your order—it's in the add-ons section when you go through the checkout and don't forget to confirm the pledge/change!

Thanks again for all the support, y'all. 
Talk soon!

Cheers,
MH, Kej & Ines

TLDR: Entering the last few hours of this campaign!

Hi everyone,

This is going to be a quick update to let you know that the campaign is ending in about 45 hours, and we are fully funded (with some rad stretch goals unlocked!) so if you were on the fence about getting a copy, this is your chance to grab it along with any exclusives you'd like while they are still available—exclusives will be gone for good once the campaign ends.

Same applies if you've been eyeing another tier, but didn't make the jump yet. This is your chance to decide if you want to switch or not :)

I also found a few extra physical copies of Kiwi (my debut graphic novel) that I added to the add-on section since it was previously sold out. If you've been looking for a paperback copy of it, this is it!

I'm saying all of this because we really want to make sure everyone gets the rewards they want before the clock runs out! Speaking of, for one last time here's what we unlocked for everyone:




We truly can't thank you enough for your support, and we look forward to sharing our journey with you as we work on wrapping up this graphic novel this Summer to get it into your hands!

TLDR: First Stretch Goal Unlocked + Only 3 Days Left!

Hi everyone!

What a weekend it's been! Around here the gardening is in full swing in my garden, and on the campaign front we're keeping the momentum going ever since we got funded last week! We're again oh so grateful to all backers for your support <3

That also means that during the past day, we unlocked our first stretch goal: Tula Lotay's variant cover! This will be an option that all physical tiers backers will be able to pick in their surveys. If you'd fancy one of each cover, make sure to add an extra paperback (in the add-ons section) to your pledge. We can't wait to see what Tula will come up with, but let's face it, it's sure to be gorgeous :)

We only have 72 hours left to this campaign, and when we started our wildest dreams couldn't even compare to what you guys brought to the table. It's been incredible to witness the community we build around this project.

And it's not finished yet! Maybe we can unlock the second stretch goal?!

One thing is for sure, if you want to grab a copy of our graphic novel, don't forget to do so before the clock runs out on Thursday at noon Eastern Time! Exclusives are, well, exclusive to this campaign so they'll vanish when the clock runs out!

Here's once more the handy reminder of what we unlocked for everyone so far:

For Digital Backers:
- Ver's 12 Stickers as digital wallpaper
- Liana Kangas exclusive illustration as high-res digital wallpaper (art to be unveiled)

For ALL Physical Pledges:
- Ver's Sticker Sheet (12 total stickers)
- Liana Kangas exclusive illustration as high-res digital wallpaper (art to be unveiled)
- Tula Lotay Variant Cover Option for each paperback of the graphic novel

For Budding Tier & Higher:
- Added exclusive illustrations by Natasha Alterici, Fell Hound, and Emily Schnall to the print pack

Thanks again everyone!
Talk soon.

Cheers,
MH, Kej & Ines

PS Here's a reminder of the exclusive illustrations in the print set so far (Natasha Alterici & Liana Kangas' will be unveiled later on) as well as the stickers by Ver:
