Will the 2 Spirit book be written by someone Native? What about the Eid book, will it be written by someone Muslim?
Yes! Thank you for asking and YES! ALL the books will be written by people who are representing their own cultural/religious holidays and festivals.
While it’s pretty common (especially in children’s publishing) to ask the same few authors to write about all kinds of experiences, Flamingo Rampant values the opportunity to nurture new LGBT2Q talents and voices (and pay them, too!).
- We regret that our superhero baby shower book will not be written by someone with verified supernormal powers (though we think Tobi is for sure a superhero).

Current Estimated Shipping Date: September 2017
All books and tote bags will be shipped out before the end of September. Digital rewards will come mid-October, once we've been able to digitize properly. And for those expecting greeting cards, they're not finished yet but we have delightful surprises in store and you'll have something super in the late fall.
Last Updated At: 08/02/17What 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.
