$0/moFreePublic prices and benefits only
$3/mo"Where Am I Going?"Access to short posts and updates.My eternal gratitude.
$5/mo"I'm The Bravest Individual"Be my (sort of) editor and vote on what pitch ideas you'd like to see become fully-fledged articles.Enjoy a monthly long form story. And everything in the previous tier.
$10/mo"If My Friends Could See Me Now"Tied to one of the pieces I'm writing, I'll find a title that's fairly easy to find on a streaming service and host a monthly video chat with the lovely folks in this tier (and up). Since you like me –– you really like me –– I'll trust you with some of my non-movie writing. Let's put this sandbox space to some good use and try out a few pieces about travel, theater, food, heck, maybe even fiction. Who knows!If enough folks sign up at this level, I'll launch a second newsletter with a Q/A and round-up of what I'm into at the moment. And everything in the previous tiers.
$25/mo"Rich Man's Frug"For you, my deep-pocket patrons, I'll open up the suggestion box and take your requests on movies, TV shows, books, theme park rides, etc. you'd like to see me write about. I'll do a monthly draw of one of the suggestions, and everyone on this tier will get to read the final piece. I'll share a monthly "story behind the story" on an article I enjoyed writing or working on. It's a behind-the-scenes backlot tour of how it came together from pitch to published form. And everything in the previous tiers.
$50/mo"Big Spender"Besides the fact that I'd probably thank you every month for choosing to help me so much, I'll put that thanks in writing or recording in the acknowledgments or credits when I get going on one of my longer-term projects. Plus, you'll get first dibs to find out what I'm working on before I make it public. As an added bonus for investing in my future ideas, I'll be sure to share updates on how it's going, preview a few extras or unearth something that didn't make the cut. Did I mention eternal gratitude? Because you would have mine twice over. And everything in the previous tiers, of course.
