If you are a subscriber to my weekly newsletter, then you saw my debate last week regarding Patreon. To summarize, I have a love/hate relationship with Patreon. I like that it provides me a platform to create for you folks, and I like the revenue it generates for me. Indeed, Patreon has accounted for the second highest source of my annual income the last two years. But it's also not the easiest thing to use, and it's interface isn't always user-friendly for readers. I don't like that subscribers who want to read the serialized novels basically have to scroll all the way back to the beginning or use the hashtags just to read the chapters in order.

In the newsletter, I mentioned that what I've been considering is doing away with the different donation tiers and just charging one flat monthly fee of $5 or $10, and then in exchange for that monthly fee, I'd offer content DAILY. Yes, that would be a big change for the folks now paying $1 or $2 per month, but it would also be a big change in that instead of having one or two things to read each month, they'd have something new to read DAILY.

I asked Patreon subscribers for their feedback via email and Twitter, and the response was overwhelmingly in favor of this. So, beginning June 1, I'll be changing the structure of my Patreon, and charging a flat monthly fee of $5. In exchange for that monthly $5, I'll be posting DAILY content. Some days it will be a short story. Some days it will be a serial chapter. Some days it will be an essay. Some days it will be a behind the scenes. But, in a nutshell, you'll be paying $5 a month for an average of 30 new pieces of content each month.

I'll also be posting a menu on my website that will make it a lot easier to read the serial novels in order.

And look, I know that a lot of folks are strapped financially right now. I totally understand that, and I get that the upgraded tier won't suit everyone. If you need to cancel, I understand. If you'd like to continue to support with $1 or $2 per month, I appreciate that, as well. Same for you folks currently at the $10 tier.

So, again, to clarify, beginning June 1, I'll be doing away with tiers and begin charging a flat $5 monthly fee, in exchange for which I will post content DAILY. Thanks!
