Still so stoked – try to say that five times fast.
Anyway, I wrote a post last week (it feels like a year ago) about being stoked about something, and it ended in a cliffhanger.
Well, my friends, I’m about to rescue you from the cliff!
The thing I’ve been putting lots of energy into …
The best new thing to come around since sliced bread …
The thing I can’t wait for you to see …
…
…
(this is a drumroll, by the way)
…
Is …
My Ream account!
*waits for applause*
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Wait, someone in the back is asking what a Ream account is.
Now someone in the front is too … only a couple of people know what Ream is?
No problem. I can explain.
Ream is a platform much like Patreon, only it was built specifically for authors and readers, and IT IS AMAZING!
On Ream, you can just go and read some of my stories, like Off the top of my head where I’m adding a story, poem, or scene weekly to create a compilation. So far, they’re all things that were previously published on my fiction blog, but I’ll add stories you’ve never read before to it. You don’t even need to sign up! Click the link and see!
If you do sign up for Ream (it’s easy, painless, and free!) you can follow me for free and get emails when I update something, plus you can read Pixy and All Good Stories and other stuff I publish there in the future. Did I mention it’s free?
Okay, so my Ream page isn’t very pretty right now, but I’m still working out the kinks and trying to figure out what I’m going to do with it. It’s early days.
But I’m in talks with a lovely lady named Anna who runs a business that helps authors with branding and banners and all things to make their social media accounts look pretty. It’s going to cost money, though, so that’s where my next point comes in.
I also have paid tiers.
The first one is only $3.00, and I’ve titled it “Eternal Gratitude.” But that, while huge, is not all you get when you join. It’s perfect for the reader who doesn’t read romance. I plan to publish my short stories that were included in the Transmundane Press anthologies plus—get this—I’ll even dust off the first novel I ever wrote, which only a handful of people have read, and publish it to this tier! Plus any other non-romance stories I write in the future.
The second tier is $4.99 (but right now it’s free—there are coupons! Keep reading!). It’s my “Grand Entrance” tier and it’s exactly what it sounds like. The very first productive tier where you can join me and read my steamy romance stories, both past and future. You’ll see I’m limiting the number of people who can sign up for this because once it’s archived, it’s going to continue to be my inner community. No matter what anyone is offered in higher priced tiers in the future (excluding physical goods), if you sign up for this one, you’ll get it all and never pay more than $4.99.
But again, I’m still working this out.
So to reward those who take the 14 spots left (as of the writing of this post) for putting up with me while I sort things out, you can use the promo code GRANDENTRANCE to get the first 2 months free, or 4MONTHS50 to get the first 4 months at half price.
Go check out the tier here to see what the benefits (aside from putting up with me) are. Warning: steamy romance!
And that’s what has me so stoked.
It’s going to be so much fun! Ream is a place not only to read stories, but to connect with authors and other readers and start discussions on what you love (or hate!) about characters and settings and what resonates with you. It’s a place to feel included in the storytelling community.
Thank you so much!
