Ah, the good old days of the Internet … sorry, where was I?
Yes, that’s right. Welcome to my Patreon Creator page!
For those who don’t know me, I’m Bacil Donovan Warren (though, I go by Donovan). I’ve been a lot of things—US Army tank crewman, computer tech, network tech, system administrator, software & hardware QA test engineer, EMT-Basic, Certified Emergency Paramedic, and others—and now I am using all of those varied experiences to craft compelling fiction, as well as help illuminate the path for indie publishers, indie authors, and what Guy Kawasaki calls the artisanal publisher.
Here, I hope to entertain you, enlighten you, and guide you through the minefields of being an independent creator in this massively democratizing CloudAgeâ„¢ that we currently inhabit.
If you’re interested, what I will be doing for patrons will generally fall into three categories:
- Producing early-access writing projects, some of which will offer opportunities for collaborative interaction between us (such as early access opportunities to beta read), aimed at readers;
- Producing early-access (and occasionally exclusive-access) how-to/help guides—mostly as blog entries, although some will also be videos—which aim at writers, editors, indie publishers, and those looking for help in taming this CloudAge™;
- Exclusive behind-the-scenes-type access, such as at public or media events, or activities like NaNoWriMo write-ins and such.
If you are interested, come along for the journey. I’m happy to have you along, and I’ll do my best to make it entertaining and worthwhile!
