My dear reader,

If you've been on this newsletter for a couple of months, you know I am a sloooow writer. It takes me a year or more to write a book despite my best efforts, due to my full-time job, mothering, self-care, etc.

Now, you are already a VIP subscriber to this newsletter, and I treasure you. And you might be familiar with serialized platforms such as Wattpad, Ko-fi or Patreon. These platforms allow an author to publish their work in increments to receive reader feedback.

I crave feedback on these chapters I've drafted for A Spirited Engagement. I've been thinking it would be fun for you to provide feedback on chapters before even my editor sees them.

In essence, this experience would be akin to a VIP+ paid membership. Depending on the chosen tier, I'm thinking members will receive exclusive...

• Reading and commenting access to rough draft chapters,
  
• Voting on merchandise options, plus
  
• Free shipping and perpetual discounts at my store. 

Exciting times! I'm truly so excited to have a way to offer rough drafts to you, and all the remains is for me to ask...
