Early Lighters
Reserve Your Early Supporter Spot for The Lamplighter
A $1 reservation unlocks early access and exclusive Kickstarter discounts.
We’re using Kickstarter as a way to launch this book with a community —
inviting readers in at the beginning rather than after the fact.
It allows us to gauge interest, cover creation costs, and make it possible to tell more stories like this together.
When the campaign opens, supporters can choose a simple book purchase —
or select from a few optional tiers that include added bonuses.
This $1 reservation is simply a way to raise your hand early.
What does my $1 do?
Reserves your place at group-exclusive live Zoom with the author and illustrator
Gives you first access when the Kickstarter (crowdfunding) campaign launches
Helps us gauge print numbers and bonuses (though there’s no obligation to purchase the book)
Signals support for this kind of story — and the possibility of more like it
If you choose to purchase the book during the Kickstarter, you have first access to the early bird priced tiers (which have limited quantities). These are prices at least $3 below general pricing, recouping your $1 reservation and saving another $2.
To thank you for being an Early Lighter, you’ll be emailed this phone background:
Please add me to the Early Lighters group! With my $1 reservation, I gain access to the author/illustrator live Zoom in April, early access to the Kickstarter at least 12 hours before it’s announced to the general public, and with that, best chance at “first dibs” on early bird pricing set at least $3 below the general pricing for certain tiers (regaining my $1 reservation deposit and saving another $2 as well!). I’ll also receive a digital phone wallpaper image (pictured above) via email as a “thank you” gift.
The Lamplighter is a beautifully illustrated picture book created to feel timeless, enchanting, and hope-giving— the kind of story families return to year after year.
This $1 reservation simply helps us invite our earliest supporters first, before the public launch on Kickstarter.
Thank You, Early Lighters!
Thank You, Early Lighters!
