What can you expect for your one-time $9.95 fee for joining the Mythnology community as a subscriber?
A new chapter every week. I’ll be posting the new chapters as I write them, a bit raw and on the fly. I can promise you my best effort to produce an error-free work, but this will be a first draft that has not been written in advance.
An online book club. You’ll have a chance to talk about the work directly with fellow readers and the author as the story progresses. If you’re confused or find something incomplete, you’ll be a part of the process of developing and crafting the story and clearing up any difficulties.
Mythnology in other media. Subscribers alone will have access to both podcasts of each chapter and pdf formatted versions that are ready to print.
Being a part of a big experiment. There’s not much point to writing without readers. Mythnology is an attempt to bring the readers into the process up front and open up new interaction between the author and the readers. It may even be the future of writing. That future will be, in part, up to you.
Invitations to gatherings. If this works out, I hope to have some public gatherings of subscribers here in Saint Paul, Minnesota where we can meet and get to know each other.
There will be about 20 chapters to Mythnology in total, the first 3 being free “teasers”. If you like what you see and want to be able to read more, please subscribe. I promise to do my best to intrigue, excite, and entertain you.
Interactive “performance” novel writing may be the future of writing. If you are a reader who loves novels but worry about the future of the publishing world, this is your chance to be a part of something new. I hope you’re as willing to take the plunge as I am. Thank you for joining our community of subscribers.
