Will You Help Me Change My Life?

Happy New Year (can we still say that?!)

I hope you enjoyed my little e-present of ‘Come On Steal The Noise’ over the festive period. If you’ve not grabbed it I’ll drop the details at the bottom of the email. Today I wanted to ask you something…

WILL YOU HELP ME CHANGE MY LIFE?

I want you to PATRONISE ME

Not in the usual way, no.

For a while now I’ve wanted this to be less of a one-way street and more of a conversation. A community. And last year I discovered Patreon.

What is it and how will it help? Both good questions. For the short version click here. I made a short video to explain and… it’s easier than reading. Go on, watch it, I’ll wait.

If you didn’t watch it (or even if you did!) Patreon is a platform where you can help support creative types (like what I am) to do what they do. So each month you would give $1 or $5 or whatever and you get rewards in return. And since you’re here on my actual website I’m hoping that means you want Maxwell-related rewards.

I’m going to be pulling back the curtain and giving you access to the inner workings not just of Kilchester but of how I write my books. Depending on what level you choose you’ll get:

– Opportunities to name characters and locations in future books
– New chapters from forthcoming novels every few weeks
– Latest books before anyone else
– Deleted scenes and never before seen stories
– Exclusive blog posts and videos 
– Direct access to yours truly

and if you hop on board before the end of February I’ll send you a personalised and signed postcard from here in the UK to wherever you are in the world.

The end goal, if it works, would be for me to get paid every month to be a writer. LIFE CHANGER.

The goal for 2020 is much less grand. It’s just to see if I can get enough people interested to generate $100 a month.

I know thousands and thousands of people enjoy my books every year and I’ve given away countless thousands more over the years so I can’t overstate what a difference this would make to me (obviously) but also to my output. 

Over the last decade I’ve written THIRTEEN books. Some were very short. Some were very long. If we built this community it would mean that you’d be getting, in all likelihood, two novels and several short stories EVERY YEAR.

And you could help choose what they would be.

So what do you think? Do you read my stuff and like it? Think you could help me change my stars?

I’ve set up several tiers to try to suit all levels you might be interested in but this isn’t just an automated email, I write it myself and I really do want to know what you want from it so if you’ve got questions or suggestions just email me – I’d love to hear from you. 

I love to hear from you and I can’t wait to see what we make of this decade together.

Now stop reading and GO TO PATREON AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.
