Dun dun dun DAHHHHH Patreon!
Do you want to feel like a Renaissance aristocrat? Perhaps you like the vibes of a wealthy idler from the Belle Époque, or a brilliant society matron holding salons? Or, perhaps, you understand the graft and intellectual labour that it takes to produce a work of art, and want to support the artists that create it?
Also, would you quite like to get early access to my books without giving Amazon money?
Then please, join my Patreon!
There are three practical tiers plus a pie-in-the-sky one in case you are feeling extremely generous. (I don't even want to put the number here because it feels so presumptuous thinking that anyone might like my work enough to support it at that level.)
$5/month (US) gets you early access to my eBooks (eARCS)!
I publish 3-5 novellas and novels a year. You will get those! You also get the benefits of:
- Early access eARCs, downloadable until publication date
- Getting books without giving Jeff Bezos a single red cent.
- The satisfaction of knowing I'm getting a higher royalty that e-retailers give me, and that you are a genuine patron of the arts.
$7/month gets you that early access to eARCs plus:
- I put your name in the acknowledgements! I read the acknowledgements every time I finish a book, because I am an enormous dork. If you are also that kind of dork, and/or would like to see your name in there, you can get that with this tier!
$15/month gets you early eARCS plus your name in the acknowledgements plus:
- Monthly bonus content!!
- I go into what that could be in the tier description, but basically, I've been publishing for fifteen years and writing for even longer before that. I have a lot of exclusive content, and I'll be sharing it here.
- I also have the occasional burst of manic energy where I will produce, for example, a one-page TTRPG, or an in-universe slideshow, or fanfic of my own work (see above re: enormous dork), giggling to myself the whole way. Mostly, I send this stuff to a couple of friends and they call me a mad genius who should (but cannot) be stopped. If you would like to see what all of that's about, this is the tier for you.
- Shhh, secret, but if enough people sign up to this tier to make it a sustainable option, I'm thinking serial.
And that's it!
Rest assured, this newsletter will keep going strong in its present, always free, form, and if you want to buy books as they come out that is also excellent and very welcome support! So is telling your friends, reviewing, dropping my titles into your book discord (I'm in like eight) and asking your library to buy the paperbacks.
Patreon is for if you want to provide some additional support to me, a real human artist doing human work, with a few additional perks. I appreciate it, very much.
