Make the next comedy novel possible;
give an author the unworried time he needs to write;
become a patron of independent creativity—
& very preposterous books.
King of the Coconut Swamp
is being read all over the world, and I've already had the lightning-bolt moment that conceived the NEXT
comedy novel...
While the last book synthesised my own brand of comedy with Ancient Greek Tragedy, the new one is taking it a step further—
AND WILL BE EQUAL PARTS COMEDY, TRAGEDY,
AND HOMERIC EPIC.
It's to be a book whose
numbered & signed 1st edition will be available exclusively to its patrons—
because for every novel I wrote from Exquisite Hours to
The Creative Art of Wishfulness—I entirely exhausted my
finances in order to write it.
So as to not starve I then
had to rush the book’s release,
and I spent years longing
for nothing but the
freedom to write...
Then in 2021 I started
YOU WRITE BOOK—
so-called because,
you can make possible
the writing of the
next comedy novel.
Rather than going through the deadening cycle of
bubble & burst—as I put out into the world some small measure of creativity, humour, & inspiration,
my patrons allow me to focus on writing, rewriting,
& WRITING EVEN MORE.
AND BY SIGNING UP
TO ONE OF THE
3 YOU-WRITE-BOOK PATRONAGE TIERS
you not only give a writer the unworried creativity that
leads to fascinating histories
& very funny books—
YOU ALSO GET TO enjoy all THE
literary fruits of
