Admittedly, this blog has actually been getting more traction than I anticipated, this isn’t my primary channel for communicating with my readers.
Hence, I am pulling a Bernie Sanders and once again asking for you to please consider following what I do consider to be my primary communications channels.
Namely, my Patreon page and my Substack.
My Patreon page is where I will be publishing new Realmgard and Realmgard-adjacent content — Sci Fi and Fantasy stories aimed at an all-ages audience. Currently, that primarily means a new Realmgard Short Scene every Friday available exclusively to my Patreon followers (at both free and paid tiers).
Going forward, I’m going to start publishing audio content based on my stories on my Patreon page and I’m in the process of having an audiobook version of the new version of the first Realmgard story, Fryte’s Gold, recorded and prepared for publication.
Also, although I’m not necessarily asking you to subscribe to a paid tier, my Patreon page is also my primary monetised page and if you’re so inclined, your generous financial support will help Emona Literary Services™ to produce more and better content.
Wow. I really am pulling a Bernie Sanders…
Although I also maintain this blog and the Realmgard blog, I’ve decided to make my Substack my primary author blog and source of news for my readers. At the moment, I’m primary focusing on transferring the Pop Culture reviews and posts about my Spotify Author Playlist that were originally published on the Realmgard blog. However, going forward, my Substack is where I will be publishing stories that don’t really fit the style and tone of the all-ages stories I’m publishing on Patreon.
My long-term goal with my Substack is to open Emona Literary Services™ up to submissions from Fantasy and/or Sci Fi authors to regularly publish stories online — that’s part of the reason I appreciate any paid subscribers to my Patreon page, as I’m hoping that will lead to a reliable source of funding to publish at least one story a month.
I’ll have more information about how exactly that’s going work once my funding situation has developed to the point of making that possible.
As a final aside, if you are interested in helping me fund Emona Literary Services’™ content but don’t want to commit to a recurring subscription, you can also make a one-time contribution via my Ko-fi page.
You can find the various other platforms to follow me here.
Now, a quick reminder that I am a professional writer and editor, and if you’re in need of writing and editing support, please consider taking a look at the work and rates currently offered by Emona Literary Services™ and reach out if you think I can help you.
