Both Substack and Patreon are where creators can post essays or serialize their fiction – and readers can follow or subscribe to a creator’s feed. Many offer both a free feed and a paid one. It’s another way for creators to find readers – or for readers to find authors – so I’m experimenting with both.

I’ve started to post a monthly update on both Patreon and Substack, including what’s in the works for the month ahead for both of my author brands. It’s kind of a newsletter update and will likely evolve over time. I just posted the first one at both Patreon and Substack (and yes, the posts are the same.) There’s also a bit more of a peek behind the scenes here than in my newsletters. It also provides everything in a single post, like an executive summary for the month ahead. While both portals allow for paid content, my feed is currently free.

If a single monthly update on me and my books sounds good to you, you can follow me on Substack right here or you can read my August update on Patreon and follow me there.
