I kind of feel scummy doing this, but I'm desperate. I'm up to my armpits in debt and only because I have a few lifelines to hold on to to keep from going under.
I took a year off working to invest my time and energy into becoming a writer, and now I look to profit. I have GoFundMe for 12k. Which seems like a lot, I know, but that would support me for a full year, and maybe even more. (links for everything at the bottom.)
But you don't have to support me financially if you can't, or just don't want to. You can support me by just consuming my work. I went as far as to make an audiobook to make reading my book as easy as just pressing play, but YouTube doesn't seem to like it and so here I am asking for help.
In short, you can help by the following:
- direct donation
- watching/listening to my audiobook on YouTube
- liking my audiobook on YouTube
- commenting on my audiobook(even simple stuff like "I like it" helps with the algorithm, but critics and feedback are so welcomed)
- subscribing to my channel(this is a big ask of me, but it is an option)
- review and rating my book on Royal Road
- following and favoriting my book on Royal Road
- sharing my work with others (this is honestly the biggest thing you could do to help, including just rehosting this)
- let me know about places where I could share my work
My book is called World of Demi-Humans: Freshmen Orientation.
It's about a class of beings known as "Demi-Humans"; Individuals who retain the full right of personhood, but are not simple mundane humans nor beings of Otherside; going through their first term at high school. Class J09 has 28 students, each unique. From the large, kindhearted demi-titan Benjamin "Brick" Butler, to the hot-headed, teenage lighting god Quetzalcoatl "Kevin" Zapotec, to even the shy, timid mutant girl Jennifer Knight whose only power is to shift her vision across the infinite spectrum.
I want my work to be a reflection of the real world while also showing ideal possibilities and also also just being a cool and fun world to play around in. I've had it compared to Naruto to My Hero Academia. So if you, or someone know, are a fan of such then I ask you to share it.
I worked super on the writing, the recording, and now the audio editing for the audiobook, all so I could share my passion with others. So I would like to now share:
