Dear Backers:
Hope you all had a nice weekend! Thanks again for all of your support. We're very close to reaching our goal. Once we achieve this milestone, we'll be able to shift our attention to getting you your SketchyNotebook as soon as possible!
Add-Ons
Many of you messaged us about adding additional notebooks. You can manually enter the amount of notebooks you want by increasing your pledge quantity. If upping your pledge quantity, keep in mind that due to the weight of our notebooks, international backers might have to pay a little more for shipping.
_____
US backers:
We’re offering free shipping, so just manually enter the total amount of the pledges/notebooks you want by changing it under the “manage” button.
International Backers:
Additional SketchyNotebook & SketchyNotebook S = $8~$10 additional shipping
Additional SketchyNotebook PRO = $12~15 additional shipping
Ex: David from Belgium pledged SketchyNotebook Set I ($40+$15 shipping) and wants to add an additional SketchyNotebook S ($18+$10 shipping) . So the total will be $83 and David will then manually change the pledge amount to $83.
Once the campaign is over, we’ll be using a service called Backerkit. So it’ll be much easier to manage at that point, you won’t have to worry about it for now.
Kickbooster
We’re very grateful that many of you have shared our project on your social media. But we still need a little push on our project to reach the goal, so we’re now on Kickbooster for a bigger impact. By becoming a Booster, you can generate a unique tracking URL for any participating campaigns. This allows you to earn cashback on any successful referrals sent to the campaign, or you can simply pledge through your own Kickbooster link and earn cash back for supporting projects you already love!
Lastly, we'd like to show you this video about a calligraphy artist, Cirdan Fang.

Until next time,

_ Recently we’ve been selected as a “Project We Love” from the good people at Kickstarter! What a great compliment! We can't put into words how thankful we are now that we've reached our funding goal. We very much appreciate all the love letters, feedback and support we have received along the way. We still have a little more than 2 weeks left, let’s make the best of it!
We’re still working on the PRO Series video, but we just want to share this news with all of you guys first.
Unlock Fashion Template Pack
Originally, we wanted to unlock the fashion template at our 50k stretch goal~ But having seen most of you wanted the bundle, we’ve decided to go ahead and unlock it now. Hope you’ll like it! But please please still help us share our project so we can hit our minimum quantity to make this possible.
Add-Ons
If you do want to add the Fashion Template Pack, just add it on top of your current pledge. Or just simply bump up your pledge level.
Many of you messaged us about adding additional notebooks. Here’s how you can do it:

Prototype Review
As a graphic designer myself, David Airey has always been a huge inspiration in my career. David is a well-known graphic designer and a book author. Last month we had the privilege to show him our early prototype and ask about his opinion. We’re still stoked that he made a post about SketchyNotebook on his personal blog. You can check it out here.

Dear Backers: It’s only been 7 days and we have over 360 backers and are 45% funded!! Thank you all for the support! Let’s keep the ball rolling! We still need your help to push this project over the finish line. To help spread the word about SketchyNotebook Pro, if you or someone you know would like to review our product, we have some prototypes that we’d be happy to send to you, don't be shy and drop us an email! at: [email protected] or just leave a message at our fan page!
Below is to answer some of our backer's questions:
____
Smart Pocket
We’re trying to keep the notebook as minimalist as possible without adding bulky extra accessories. You can clip your pen onto the Smart Pocket, but we wouldn’t recommend to insert the whole pen in there.
So if you want to add one more SketchyNotebook S in A6 size, just manually add additional $18 to your current pledge ( yes, even for international backers). If you need more than 1, please wait until the campaign is over to order. We’ll be using Backerkit so it will be easier to manage the shipping costs at that time.

Dear Friends: We’ve now passed 25% of our funding goal within the first 2 days! We can hardly believe it. We’re blown away at the amount of support people like you have brought to this project.
Your contributions mean a lot to us, as it allows us to complete the manufacturing process and get one step closer to our realizing our dream. Your support is much bigger than just the level you chose, it encourages every day in what we do.
What is Smart Pocket?
Some people have asked about the Smart Pocket, actually we’ve spent a long time trying to come up with an accessory that can hold the templates. Previously we’d just strap them to the outside of the notebook with the elastic band, however, we wanted improve upon this for the new version.
The current solution may seem simple, but actually took a lot of time. We’re proud to show a little demonstration on how it works:
New Reward Added
Thanks for your comments, There have been some requests for some rewards.
If you'd like to change your reward, you can just go to "Manage Pledge" and change to the reward you want.
