I Am Now on Patreon

Hey everybody. I’m happy to announce that I am now live on Patreon. Head over here to check out my profile page.

For anyone who isn’t already familiar, Patreon is a modern version of the patron system built around modern realities. In ye olden times, nobility and the wealthy would bestow their largesse on writers and artists they appreciated. This helped said writers and artists do things like keep eating. While the practice of patronage by the wealthy has largely fallen by the wayside, writers and artists continue the not so grand tradition of struggling to make ends meet. That’s where Patreon comes in.

It’s a pretty straightforward system. The creator, as Patreon calls them, sets up tiers of sponsorship. Each tier comes with a monthly donation, such as $1 or $5. In exchange, the creator commits to producing some kind of work. In my case, I’ve committed to writing a short story each month. The more expensive tiers also come with other bells and whistles, such as a monthly webcast or early access to new materials. In my case, that’ll probably be preview book chapters and the like.

So, if you feel like seeing fresh Eric short stories every month, head on over and choose a tier. You’ll get some fun speculative fiction each month and maybe some other kind of bonus content. Even better, you’ll get to see it before anyone else ever does.
