Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me on this journey since 2016. You are all amazing. 💕
If you’ve ever benefited from my work and would like to support me to keep writing, teaching and organising, I’ve put together this list of ideas, including two minute actions that don’t cost anything. You can also support me financially on Patreon or treat me to a coffee.
Financial support
- you can support me on Patreon (more details below)
- or send a one off tip to my coffee fund ☕️
Leaving reviews
Reviews have made so much difference to getting my books and zines to the people who benefit from them
- you can leave reviews for my books or zines online or tell your friends!
Other ways to support
Without social media or a promotional budget, word of mouth has alway been the way that people find out about my work
- you can tell your friends about my work
- or buy them a book or zine
- you can give this support page or website a shout out on social media
- you can request my books or zines at libraries and bookstores or just let them know that they exist
Get in touch …
- if you’d like to host a reading, a workshop, or a speaking event
- if you can offer things like: design support, web support, book distribution, book promotion, admin assistance, publishing advice etc – I need it all really 🙂
- if you know any shops that might like to stock my books and zines (send them here!)
- if you know any podcasts that might like to host me (or you can send them my media page)
- if you can think of other ways to support
Support working-class fiction
Creating becomes ever harder to live from and as a result there are fewer working-class authors each year. I love my work although it doesn’t come close to paying the bills. I fundraise all the time for other projects but I find it hard to focus on earning enough from my work. And without a safety net, or middle-class privilege, I really don’t have an option.
As I have been my whole life, I’m deeply invested in mutual aid and in solidarity organising. I want to keep writing, teaching, mobilising and learning.
But I’ll need some help along the way.
