If you're seeing this video, it means that all my Kickstarters have finally been shipped out and fulfilled! Which means it's finally time to share the author day in the life vlog where I do all the prep work to fulfill the Kickstarter and ship out everyone's orders. Fulfilling my Kickstarter required a little more work than just signing and shipping the book, mostly because I had to do all the sprayed edges on the paperback books myself. So enjoy the behind-the-scenes look at creating the special edition paperbacks! I also unbox all the deluxe hardcovers that were printed through BookVault using their Bespoke features. I've been impressed with BookVault up until this point, but I was worried about putting in large quantity orders, that things might get a little messy, but I have to say, I was super impressed with how shipping was handled and how perfect all the books were!

Title: Author Vlog: Fulfilling Kickstarter Orders & BookVault Unboxing
I’d put those signed books in a little library somewhere.
Thank you for showing that whole process!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I love mine! ❤❤❤❤
The books are so pretty🥰
Thank you!
I got an email from someone pretending to be you – just thought I’d let you know
Def would love vid on Kickstarter lessons learned. Great video!
Thanks so much! I will definitely be making one!
Hey! I just got an email from you that I’m fairly sure is a scam. I wanted to make you aware of it and sent a dm over instagram.
Ugh. Also don’t know how to make THIS not look scammy, but it had a lot of details, your name and company attached and looked legit on first blink! ♥️ sorry, I didn’t know how else to make you aware.
(Also enjoying this vlog)
That’s a scammer that’s been going around. Any emails ending in @gmail.com are not from me.
@@MandiLynnWritesI saw your message, thanks for reaching out that must be exhausting
A very helpful video. My main question would be is doing a kicktarter worth is as part of your writing business given how muxh extra work it seems to require? – I know you mentioned a video about that coming soon. As to the duplicate order, your mistake – accidents happen, either donate it or send it to the backer anyway with some humours note. Thanks for being so open with your writing busines.
It’s a bit of a complicated answer. I’ll be doing a full video on whether or not it was worth it later.
I’m looking forward to this book. I tried to order through the kickstarter, but for whatever reason my bank wouldn’t allow me to order it. So I will order once the book is release
You went above and beyond for this one! I dream of the day print on demand services catch up and offer some variety of sprayed edges. 😅❤
My book is beautiful, thank you!
Thank you for supporting the project!
Nice to see the whole thing from start to finish. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed watching the whole process!
This was really cool watching you go through this process. Wow. Thanks. I am hoping to do this myself. This was great to have you explain it all, but not only that, you showed us. Thanks!
So glad this was helpful! 😊
How did you order annotated harcover copies?
I have a couple videos where I talk about the process. You can check it out on this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZpcZ9u8pb_pq2Y0WatPDW4j7jA-may0m
Oh wow do you have a new book coming out in October?
Nice, what’s this one about?
And beautiful covers by the way❤❤❤
I’d love to do sprayed edges myself. Where did you get your kit?
Do you have a video about how you created the hardcover books from Book Vault? They look so pretty. I’d love more of a close-up of the books and the process!
I had no clue that’s how you do spayed edges. We love an educational video lol.
