Did you know that Tellest is on Patreon<\/a>?<\/p>\n Chances are, you don’t even know what Patreon is. \u00a0It’s kind of like an internet tip jar. \u00a0If there’s an artist, or a musician, or maybe a novelist that you like, you have the opportunity to follow them on Patreon, and if you\u00a0really<\/em> like them, you can pledge to them so that they can grow their particular brand a little bigger. \u00a0A lot of times, this gives you access to content especially catered just to you.<\/p>\n For Tellest, what I like to do is treat my Patreon project like a monthly magazine. \u00a0Every weekday, I try to get a new piece of art from the world of Tellest up on the internet. \u00a0It’s a nice way to go behind the scenes, and it lets people see the art before it is scheduled here on the site – something I can only do once per week. At this point, we’re more than three months ahead of schedule on the Patreon page, and that’s a cool way to give back to the people who are interested in Tellest.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The nice thing is that you get to make the call. \u00a0Do you drop in a penny\u00a0a month? \u00a0A quarter? \u00a0A dollar? \u00a0More?<\/p>\n Each level gives you some more access, whether it’s seeing the art much sooner, reading the margins of the books that I’m writing (which gives you some idea of how my mind works), or even getting the chapters and sections of novellas and short stories much earlier than the rest of the readers.<\/p>\n
