Why Ream Stories?
I've dabbled with Patreon and Ko-fi over the years, but never put serious energy into them because of how difficult it is to manage multiple stories in a way that makes sense for readers. I was looking for something that combined the author library of Watt Pad, and the community building of Patreon.
Ream Stories gives us the ability to create our own community, where we don't have to manipulate an algorithm to interact with one another. It also allows you to share feedback chapter-by-chapter and paragraph-by-paragraph. How fun will it be, helping fine-tune a book that you know you're going to love once it's published?
Reader, beware. These drafts will not be publish-ready. In fact, that's the point. I want your feedback before my editor editor gets me to that final stage.
Once a work is ready, you will receive early eBook access if you are an active patron during the release month, delivered via BookFunnel. Then it will be available for purchase in my store, and then finally wide across Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, etc. All active members at the time of publication will be named in the acknowledgements section.
We're going to have some chill fun, reading and talking about cozy fantasies that we love.
How will updates work?
When I have 80% of a story written, chapters will release weekly. I will do my best to not schedule chapters if I do not have enough written for a coherent narrative week-over-week.
If I am between books, posts will not follow a schedule. All patrons receive discounts from my store. When audio posts are available, I hope to publish voice memos.
There are no refunds, but if this content is not what you expected, you may stop your patronage and/or return if and whenever you please.
Can I visit the Cozy Coterie on my phone?
Yes, there is a way to bookmark the Cozy Coterie for an app-like experience on your phone or tablet. This will also work for any other authors you're following on the Ream platform.
