$0/moFreePublic prices and benefits only
$1/moEXPLORERYou've decided to support my writing, and I'm sooooo grateful! I'll send you info on my new projects and products, along with pictures of my fluffy writing assistants, Xena the Warrior Princess and Belladonna Couchkiller, to brighten your day. You'll have access to the patron-only Discord server, where you can chat with other patrons and participate in polls and special events, and you'll also get advance notice of any limited-quantity items I plan to offer in my store.
$3/moACOLYTEYou've chosen to join me on my creative journey, and wonderful discoveries await you. You will get everything listed in the previous tier, plus short excerpts from my works-in-progress (at least one a month), insights into my writing process, recommendations of books that I think are great resources for writers, and articles about some of the strange Terran phenomena I've discovered that can provide inspiration for writers. My Writer's Network channel on Discord will allow you to share information about your own books with other patrons. I will also acknowledge your support on my web page, www.csfriedman.com, so that everyone can appreciate your generosity. And of course, more cat pictures!
$5/moLOREMASTERYou've chosen to delve even more deeply into my creative process, and to get personally involved. Loremasters will get everything from my previous tiers, as well as access to whole chapters from a work-in-progress (at least one a month), and a monthly AMA session where your can ask whatever you would like about my writing, my inspiration, my future plans--you name it! After three months you will get a surprise gift from me, and occasionally new ones when you least expect them--not to mention more gratitude than this simple paragraph can possibly express. And have I mentioned cat pictures?
$10/moFAEMASTERYou are a beacon of generosity, and I am truly humbled by your support. After three months you will receive a free copy of my ebook collection of short stories,The Dreaming Kind, any future ebooks I self-publish, occasional readings and articles about writing, and of course the gratitude of two very cute cats. You will also get a signed holiday card each year for an Ernan or Gueran holiday, and periodic discount codes for my store at csfriedman.com/shop. Plus all the other stuff from previous tiers, of course. And if you sign up for a year, you'll get a set of signed bookplates for your collection.
$25/moADEPTYou seek understanding of the mysteries of the universe, and wish to pursue them yourself. As as Adept you can send me a page of your own writing for feedback, either a page of fiction or an idea you want to develop. One page is allowed per month, but you can accumulate them until you have enough pages saved to accommodate a larger project. After three months you will receive a beautiful Coldfire journal or historical journal of your choice, and three months after that you'll get a signed copy of one of my books (choice will be limited outside the US). Or you can sign up for a year and get both of those books right away! Best of all, I will make several time slots available each month for personal chats on Zoom, and will assign them in rotation to my Adepts, so we can meet face-to-face. I will also celebrate your generosity on the Acknowledgements page of my next full-length book, and--most important of all--my cats will dedicate a catnip session to you.
$50/moIEZUYour contribution is so generous the whole world should celebrate it. You will be tuckerized in a future story or novel, with either your own name or that of a loved one inserted into the story. (What a great surprise gift for a fan!) In addition, you will have an opportunity to serve as beta reader on one or more future projects, providing feedback that will help shape the story. If you have a writing project of your own, you can meet with me after six months to ask questions or get advice on a short story or an excerpt or outline from a longer work. Plus you get everything from the lower tiers, and OY VEY do you get gratitude!

Image Latest postPublicArtist neededI need an artist to help me put together a poster design. It's a paying gig :-). Design is pretty basic, similar to the stylized trees used to illustrate linguistics and evolution, but with a flowchart of steps for world creation. Really excited about it!
