WHAT IS PATREON?

Patreon enables people to heroically support creators' work with a recurring monthly pledge, while gaining access to a private community with access to exclusive content and contact. This helps creators gain independence, backed by the people who like their work.

Really cool, then.

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU SUPPORT ME? 

When you join my new VIP cult – sorry, cough, I totally meant to say club there – at Patreon, you can access patron-only content, info and chat. I tend to reveal things in this private space that I wouldn't post in the hell-hole that is Twitter. Most importantly, we can actually chat, you and I, free from all algorithms and spam filters.

The private posts I've made for my patrons have so far included the following:
  • Walking With Patrons - a monthly vlog in which I stroll around Brighton, talking to camera, and updating my patrons on the latest news, professionally and often personally too. 
  • A PDF of my short story The Nothing Men, which is only available elsewhere in the 2018 US anthology Resist: Tales From A Future Worth Fighting Against.
  • Blogs about my personal life and experiences in lockdown.
  • My 50-minute video chat about writing with Doctor Who writer James Moran, which we recorded exclusively for our patrons.
  • A YouTube blooper reel.
  • An Ask Me Anything Q&A.
  • Not only early access to my latest YouTube videos, but the odd extended version for patrons only!
  • Private notes I wrote into a text app on my phone, during the creation of my 2016 novel The Last Days Of Jack Sparks.
  • A PDF of my 2009 interview with Tom Baker, originally published in Doctor Who Magazine. This new offering has a new foreword from me.
  • Personal family photos
  • A video in which I show patrons three Brighton landmarks that feature in my 2019 novel Ghoster
  • Unedited versions of interviews with me for SFX and Doctor Who Magazine
  • A video from Summer 2021, in which I visit my first car boot sale since the pandemic began

​When you pledge, you gain access to all this past content, as well as the future content, for as long as you remain a member.

Depending on the level (or 'tier') at which you choose to pledge, you may also gain perks like having your name at the end of my YouTube videos or receiving a postcard from me every 12 months.

Your patronage will also help me to: 

  • feel more secure as a writer of frightening fiction (a hugely fun career, but one whose financial instability is, aptly, terrifying.)
  • grow and improve both my YouTube channels.
  • support my family and other people close to me. This one, in particular, means the absolute world to me - especially in this bewildering current era in which we find ourselves - and so I like to treat my patrons like major deities.

I'm already excited to have launched a new private cult (goodness me, why do I keep saying that?!? Club!). Let’s build this thing together! The bigger it gets, the more goals I’ll hit and the more time I can devote to keeping my patrons happy and pampered and scared out of their wits.

If I can reach my next pledge goal of £1000, I will make available a deleted chapter from my novel The Last Days Of Jack Sparks. I mean, obviously it was deleted for a reason, but should be interesting to read - especially in conjunction with my explanation of why it was snipped. 

Still reading? Maybe browse the various pledge tiers I’m offering and pick one that shrieks loudest. Patreon takes my patrons’ payments on the first day of each month and you can opt out at any time (or edit your pledge level), safe in the knowledge that I love you for having backed me for however long you were able. You don't have to pledge the precise amount quoted on each tier - think of the various levels as minimums for that tier and that set of perks. One creative patron pledged $6.66, for instance, and so receives all the perks associated with the $5 tier, but not the additional madness available at the $10 tier.

I can't tell you how much of a surprised thrill it gives me, whenever anyone signs up to my Patreon. ESPECIALLY during these uncertain times. I get a real buzz! I will do my best to repay you with content, access and gratitude.

PAYMENT INFO: When you join this VIP club, you are charged up front for your entire first calendar month of patronage, regardless of which day in the month you pledge. For example, if you pledge $10 on March 14, you'll be charged $10 upfront, and then charged $10 again for the next month on April 1. You will then continue to be charged on the first day of each month that follows (provided you decide to continue supporting me, of course - you can cancel at any time!) Take a look at this page which explains in detail how the payment system works. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel surprised or blindsided by payments being taken! :)

IMPORTANT FOOTNOTE: Patreon is far from the only way to support me! Buying my books is 100% support. There are also countless ways to back me that don't involve cash-money. When you recommend or review one of my books, or subscribe to my YouTube channels or newsletters, or even Like my posts on Twitter or Instagram, that's all wonderful support. You are no less of a fan for not supporting me on Patreon!

ALSO IMPORTANT: I regularly stress to my patrons that they should come and go as they see fit, or as they need to. If you pledge, then need to stop for whatever reason, there is absolutely ZERO need to contact me and explain. :) I will simply be happy that you have been my patron for as long as you were willing/able. 

Any further questions or feedback? Benefits you'd like to see, but which just aren't there? Any concerns or worries or annoyances that are preventing you from joining? Drop me a line via my site. Thanks for reading and I look forward to welcoming you to this cult.

Club.

Club, club, club.
