$0/moFreePublic prices and benefits only
$1/moGoblin CorpsWelcome to Team Goblin!This is the basic support level. Goblins receive my undying gratitude, along with access to the occasional blog-style musing, rant, and pet photos. There’s no set schedule for these posts, because let’s be honest, goblins aren’t all that great at organizing or checking their calendars.You’ll also be entered to win an autographed copy of any new book that comes out. (I’ll draw at least one winner from all Patreon supporters.)Starting in 2026, for liability reasons, I can no longer send supporters their very own fire-spider.
$3/moSpace JanitorsThe Few. The Proud. The Space Janitors of the Earth Defense Corps.As a member of the Shipboard Hygiene and Sanitation crew, you'll receive all the benefits from the previous tier as well as monthly reviews of books, movies, TV shows, comics, or whatever else I’ve been enjoying (or not). Because one of the best parts of fandom is discovering, sharing, and geeking out about stories!
$5/moLibriomancersBecause all books are magic!In addition to the benefits from the previous tiers, Libriomancers receive monthly behind-the-scenes snippets and updates from whatever I happen to be working on.In 2025, this included sneak peeks at cover art, updates on new books (both those under contract and those still searching or a home), insights into my writing process, and of course, more pet pictures.
$10/moKitemastersThis is a new tier for 2026.In addition to the benefits from the previous tiers, Kitemasters get essays and excerpts from Jim's current project. (As of June 2026, that would be Midlists & Manuscripts, a kind of writing guidebook focused on the practical aspects of life as an author.)
$15/moTeam PrincessIt's good to be the Princess!For 2026, in addition to everything from the previous tiers, you’ll get to join Jim every other month for a live Q&A, workshop, or general open chat (depending on what folks are most interested in and how organized Jim is that month.)You’ll also receive a signed copy of any new print books. (U.S. only, I’m afraid.)
