Exciting August 2025 Reward Preview for Patreon!

Tarot for Storytellers Draft | August 2025 BooksOfM Patreon Reward | Perfect for Authors and GMs | Based on Monica's Popular Writing Workshop | eBook Written by Monica Valentinelli

In just a few days, at the Gen Con: Writer’s Symposium, I’ll be running my popular Tarot for Storytellers writing workshop. I’ve ran this workshop at Gen Con and online through Clarion West and the Rambo Academy for Wayward Writers.

I’ve had a great response and wonderful feedback! So, I wrote an eBook inspired by this workshop! The draft of Tarot for Storytellers will be available to my patrons through patreon.com/booksofm in August. I’ve also shared the draft with my fabulous crit partner, too.

If you’d like to join my Patreon, you’re more than welcome! If not, I’ll be sure to make an announcement when the eBook is edited, laid out, and available for purchase.

Cheers!



Announcing a Patreon Exclusive! Into Shadow Coming Feb 2021

Into Shadow | An Exploration of Personal Fears | Poetry

In my newsletter recently, I described how my nightmares and anxiety caused by the violence in our nation’s capital affected my ability to write last week. I announced in that update I’m channeling these emotions to explore my fears in February. I’ll be writing a poem a day for a #28DaysofPoetry challenge.

This month-long project will be offered to my patreons through Patreon for $2. Yep, that’s right. $2 for 28 poems about my personal fears.

Why charge so little? Since launching my Patreon, I don’t feel I’ve done a very good job helping patrons feel vested in my work. Last year, my patrons helped fund a new web cam–something I desperately needed during the pandemic and am hugely grateful for. I’m hoping that the $2 price will help reassure patrons that their financial support is greatly valued.

In terms of “What am I going to do with this?” The answer is: “I don’t know.” This idea is new, raw, and will be a journey. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve written or studied poetry, and I’m not sure if any publishers would be interested in this type of collection. What’s more, now that I’ve been practicing mini-art pieces for #makedontbreak, my creative mind might shift to illustrating these too. I just don’t know.

I hope you’ll consider joining this project. If you are already a patron, please accept my enduring gratitude. I look forward to sharing my fears with you.
