The Creeping Doom of Patreon

Hey all. So, I’m going to be starting up my Patreon again. I’ve reworked goals and rewards. Here’s my statement about what I think I’m doing.
______

I’m Noah Berlatsky, a writer and cultural critic. I’m working on putting together a series of ebooks focusing on topics that make me happy—exploitation film, the Hammer Dracula films, alien invasion films and stories, Project Runway, Twilight, and who knows what else. The ebooks will include some essays I’ve published elsewhere…but I’d also like to write new, extra, bonus pieces I wouldn’t get to write for anyone else because no one wants to pay for that essay about James Baldwin and Angel Heart (trust me, I’ve checked.)

That’s where this Patreon comes in. Your contributions will give me a bit of time and space to write about things I wouldn’t be able to in more depth than I’d otherwise manage. In return, contributors can learn early on about what I’m planning for the books, get access to exclusive essays before the ebooks are published, and copies of the ebooks themselves before they’re available for purchase.

How many essays and books will I be writing? It depends on how many folks want to contribute to this patreon (and if anyone buys the books off of the demonic retailer that shall not be named but which rhymes with shamazon.) I have high hopes though! Thanks for aiding and abetting them!

So, if you’re a regular reader of me and would like to regularly read more, please consider contributing. Thanks all!

  1. Seriously, it’s a bargain deal. I love HU, but this is the future.

  2. Hah; maybe. We’ll see. I’m hoping the ebooks sell well enough that I can actually devote time/energy to them. Quite possible they’ll crash and burn though. It’s happened before…
