Hi everyone!

Ødiri's Board is FULLY FUNDED!! 🎉 Woohoo!! 🥳 This is incredible. I can't wait for you all to read my book. Thank you all so much for your support!



BONUS

Due to all the generosity, I’ve crunched the numbers, and we will be able to upgrade the book’s interior design without needing to hit the stretch goal. So—bonus!

Which means, we can take a look at options for upgrading the binding/exterior in its place as a stretch goal. Which leads me to…


STRETCH GOALS

Since we’ve unlocked the interior design early, that means we’ll be adjusting some of the numbers for the remaining stretch goals. Here’s a list of those:

  • Bloopers unlock at 50 backers
  • The Brother's Duel, an EPIC song by the Black Piper unlocks at $1,900
  • The audiobook unlocks at $3,900
  • The card game upgrades unlock at $5,400


LET’S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

There are just over 4 days left of the campaign, so there is still time to back and, just as importantly, share! Let’s see if we can hit those stretch goals!


CROSS-COLLABORATION



And lastly be sure to check out my cross-collab partner, N. T. Lazer’s campaign for The Homeseeker! If we can fund both of our campaigns, you’ll get two FREE cross-collaboration rewards!



Thank you again for everything - you are all the best!!

Sincerely,

Cross-Collaboration (📚x📚)

Hi everyone!

UPDATE

We are getting SO CLOSE. We're up to $1,079, so only a little over $300 until we reach the main goal!! 😍 Thank you all SO much! 🫶


CROSS-COLLABORATION

I just want to take a moment and spotlight my cross-collaborator.

What is a cross-collaborator? I'm glad you asked!

As you may know, the Ødiri's Board campaign is a part of BackerKit's exciting "Booktopia" event, and everyone who is taking part in it is partnered with a cross-collaborator to offer backers (you!) extra incentives.

What this means is that if you back my campaign AND N.T. Lazer (my co-collaborator's) campaign for the first novel in his medieval book series entitled The Homeseeker (and if both campaigns fund), you will receive an original song for each novel composed by The Black Piper, a group of Hollywood Composers who write EPIC fantasy 🎶 soundtracks 🎶 for books! 📚 (For FREE, just for backing both.) How cool is that?!

Make sure to check out N. T. Lazer's campaign!



SHARE SHARE SHARE!

As always, sharing the Ødiri's Board campaign with anyone who might be interested is a HUGE help, and the best way to get this project funded. Thank you so much to everyone who has shared and/or backed the campaign thus far. I appreciate you so much! You are all the best!



We've got this! Maybe we'll even reach some of those amazing stretch goals? 👀

Thank you all,
Emma Bahnmiller, Author of Ødiri's Board

We still have a ways to go, so keep sharing the campaign with anyone who might be interested! Thank you, you rock!

Hi everyone!


Sample Chapters!

So, people have messaged asking for sample chapters of Ødiri's Board, and here they are!

I've been working on this book for almost five years now, so it is so incredibly EXCITING to get to share even a little bit of the story with you, and I'm so grateful for you for being along for the ride! 😁

These chapters have received numerous revisions and have been pre-edited by a professional editor. That said, they're subject to minor changes. Go check them out, and I'd love to hear any thoughts you have! 👀 (And please share your love in the comments!)


In other news—we're 42% funded, with 26 backers!

 

This is certainly a cause for a celebration! Thank you all!


Your Help Is Needed


Now, I need your help in order for this campaign to succeed. If you have friends or family that enjoy reading YA Epic Fantasy, let them know! Spread the word! Sharing it with anyone who might be interested via social posts, and most especially by direct messages/word-of-mouth will help a lot.



Thank you all, again, for showing up to support me! You all mean so much!

Sincerely,
