Midnight Market

The stalls open at dusk. Every one holds a different story.

August — October 2026

Independent creators, separate campaigns, one season. You back each one directly on Kickstarter — every pledge goes straight to its maker.

What This Is

Midnight Market is a season of Halloween-themed Kickstarter campaigns from the Learnable Peers group, running August through the end of October. Each project is its own campaign, run by its own creator, with its own dates. This page is the market square — it tells you which stalls are open right now.

Market Hours

Amber bars are open now · dashed bars open soon · dim bars have closed.

The Stalls

Ring the Bell

Learnable Peers is a working group of independent authors and artists who study the craft — and the business — together. The Midnight Market is our first group season. Leave your email and we'll ring once when new stalls open, and once more when the next market comes to town.

Questions

Who am I actually paying?

The creator of each campaign, directly, through Kickstarter. This site never touches money — it's a signpost, not a store.

Are these campaigns connected?

Only by season and friendship. Each creator sets their own goals, rewards, and shipping. Backing one doesn't affect another.

I missed one — can I still get the book?

Closed stalls show a "where to buy" link once the finished work is available at retail. Check back — they'll light up as things ship.

What is Learnable Peers?
