Subscriptions

Writing is difficult. It’s time consuming, it’s mentally and emotionally exhausting, and it’s much more expensive than you’d expect. Writing itself, putting words on paper isn’t too bad, but then you factor in things like editing services, graphic design or designers, physical publishing and shipping, and marketing. It’s a lot of work for one person, and even more expensive if you delegate some of the work onto others. And that’s fair- designers and editors and promoters should be paid for their work. But that money has to come out of somewhere, and my books themselves don’t bring in much, these days, at the beginning of my career. So, I am asking for a little help, in exchange for a little extra sugar.

Patreon

So, by now, you know what Patreon is- it’s a crowdfunding source where fans give me between $1-$15/month, and in exchange, I provide a bunch of exclusive and behind-the-scenes content. At the moment, the tiers stand thus:

Free membership

announcements (this is going to basically replicate my mailing list)

$1 Merry Misfits

At this tier, you get:

some blog extras, things that didn’t make it into the main post
a free full chapter of a published book
musings
exclusives photos

$5 Adventurers

This is the meat and potatoes tier. You get:

all previous goodies
behind-the -scenes stuff
livestream events
the ability to vote in polls
2 extras (recipes, art, adoptables, book reviews, cut scenes, or prompts)

$25 Royals

At this tier, you get exclusive and direct access to me. You get:

all previous goodies
bespoke writing advice
live chats
access to my personal beta group

Ko-Fi

Ko-Fi is like a smaller Patreon. The donations can be lower and don’t need to be recurring, but you still get some access to special little bits. I will be posting one or two things from Patreon there per month.
