Hey there, everyone!
You've really blown us out of the water with this campaign! We've been really liking these older works and we think you do, too! We weren't sure how this campaign would work out, but y'all have reassured us! In the final hours, you folks pushed our total raised past $148,000! We could not be more excited!
As a reminder: we blew past our $100k stretch goal, meaning Wraithmarked will be producing our very own version of The Iliad! This book will be a matching edition with The Odyssey! We're looking to launch the campaign for this book in later 2027 or 2028. Be on the lookout! <3
MOVING FORWARD...
Here is what you can expect in the coming weeks and months.
First, Kickstarter will begin processing payments for your pledges. That will take approximately 2 weeks. If you did not use Pledge Over Time, this will be the full amount of your pledge. If you opted to use Pledge Over Time, this will be the first 1/3rd of your total pledge.
If you opted OUT for Pledge Over Time,you will receive your survey on or around September 4th. If you opted IN for Pledge Over Time, your second payment will be on or around September 21st, followed by your third and final payment on or around October 21st.
Once the final payment has been made for Pay Over Time backers, we will send out all remaining surveys to the email addresses you have attached to your Kickstarter account. We expect this to occur by or around October 21st.
Answer your survey questions and grab any extra Add-Ons you want. For those of you asking how to make your tier selections, you'll do that here. Due to the shipping beta test, shipping will be charged at this time.
As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us 1-2 times a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. <3
As a reminder, if you have questions about the Pledge Over Time feature, you can visit this help center article for more information or reach out to Kickstarter’s support team here.
Please be aware that the times mentioned above are estimates. We try to stick to them as much as possible, but sometimes it takes an extra day or two to move on to the next phase of the process.
TO REITERATE THE SHIPPING BETA TEST...
We've gotten a range of feedback over the last year about how to make our books more accessible to everyone, and one of the most common places we hear we could make a simple change is by charging shipping later, so there's an additional opportunity to split the product costs.
All shipping and handling fees will be processed on BackerKit when you fill out your backer survey, which will be sent out 2-3 weeks after the campaign ends.
THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING COST. We have outlined what every item's shipping will be post-campaign below so you can account for it immediately!
GETTING SUPPORT...
Finally, if you require assistance with your pledge or have another question that does not pertain to Pledge Over Time, please send an email to [email protected]. We’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm EST and will be happy to help however we can (it usually takes 3 to 5 business days to get back to you, but we do answer all tickets in need of a response).
Talk soon, and thank you all!

Hey all! Bryce here! Thanks very, VERY much for your support on The Odyssey! It was awesome to be a part of, and we can't wait to bring you guys The Iliad in 2027 or 28!
As usual, this is just a quick flyby hello to let you know that more information about what to expect next is coming next week! It's just after hours here in the US (best time to end the campaign, we've found), so the people who do the actual work around here (not me) are off for a well-deserved weekend!
As always, we can not express how grateful we are that you guys allow us to do stuff like this on the monthly! Have a good weekend, and more info coming next week!

'The Iliad' is coming... ($100k Stretch Goal doooooown!!)

HELL YEAH YALL! $100K DOWN! THE ILIAD IS GREENLIT! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!
With the $100k Stretch Goal behind us, we can now confirm we will be producing an edition of The Iliad to match this edition of The Odyssey! We don't have a set date yet, but we can tell you Eleonor is already locked in, and we have our ideal translation picked out!
This has been SO fun! Thank you all for backing, and for the love you've shown this edition online and on other channels! The word of mouth has been fantastic! Keep it up!
We're a ways off, but our next goal is at $200k, which would mean more new art in the book itself! It's a long shot, but with 3 weeks left in the campaign, it's definitely not impossible!!
ONWARD!
Two Stretch Goals Crossed on the First Day!

Hi there folks!
We hope you're having a lovely day so far! Y'all zoomed right past our first stretch goal earlier in the day (increased paper thickness from 70 gsm to 80 gsm), and now at the end of launch day, we've just crossed over our second stretch goal! Woohoo!
This $50k goal unlocks the second of the two interior paper thickness goals. ALL books will now be printed with 90gsm paper inside! If you're a previous Wraithmarked campaign backer, you'll know the quality to expect!
That leaves the next goal at $100k, and it's a big one. Once we get there, Wraithmarked will officially produce a matching edition of The Iliad at a later date!
Still trying to get a hold of the author for signatures, but so far, no luck. :(
See you all in the next one! :)
And We're Funded!

Hey there everyone!
In just about 20 minutes, y'all have helped us reach our funding goal (and then some)! Thank you so much for supporting this campaign - it's truly a labor of love and we're so thrilled to be doing it!
First Stretch Goal On Deck!
Up next at $25k, our first stretch goal will improve the quality of the paper from 70 gsm to 80 gsm, which will make the books more robust. We're nearly there already, so we have no doubt you folks will crush it! Let's see how quick we can get there!
