Read ongoing long projects as I write them. No extras. I don’t personally make that much money off this tier after fees and all that, but every dollar counts!! Please consider joining at a higher level if you have the means, but every cent helps me get closer to stable income. Thank you!

My evergreen advice to all writers: learn to understand the difference between writing and storytelling, so it’s not as upsetting when they don’t perfectly mesh for you. Writing is a craft, a tool to be used however you like. Storytelling is an art form that you can express with writing.
