You Want To Support Me? Me?!
First off, thank you!
If you are seeing this page, you have probably emailed me, or messaged me on social media to expess the fact that you liked something I did. Maybe it was my books. Maybe it was my transparency project. Maybe I mentored you at an in person event.
Whatever the reason, you said something to the effect of 'how can I support you.'
Let me be clear: you reached out to me. That is already fantastic support. Writing is a very lonely gig a lot of the time, so when someone takes time out of their busy lives to let me know that something I did was worthy of mention?! That's huge to me. So if you think about it more and decide that that is all the support you can realistically give at this time, just know it's more support than the majority of folks who have engaged with my content, and I really, really appreciate it.
Some of you though, I can already hear you in my head, and you are saying:
"Bob, shut the fuck up you self deprecating prick and take my support."
Ok, I hear you. Here are the various ways you can support.
Leave a review
The quickest and cheapest way to support the cause is to leave a review of my books if you have read them. Until you are in the shoes of an indie author, you will never know just how huge this is.
Buy my books
If you came to me by way of my Transparency Project or my podcasts, or some other non-book way, then buy my books. Ebook, print, read them on Kindle Unlimited, however. From Amazon, or not from Amazon. At this point in my career it's less about the dollars made per book, and more about the numbers of books sold, if that makes sense. Here is a handy Amazon link to my author page, which has all my books on it: HERE.
Join my Patreon
My Patreon is only two bucks a month, and you get a ton of bonus content, from short stories that have gone out of print, to a draft version of a novel, to rambling essays from the mind of Howard Marsh. I don't promise anything specifically, but more weeks than not get some sort of bonus content posted there. Here is a handy link: HERE.
Send me a postcard
Does this really help the cause? Maybe not. Do I fucking love postcards though? Absolutely. I will try to send you one back, provided you don't live someplace expensive for me to send them. My PO Box is:
Bob McGough
PO Box 1383
Millbrook Alabama 36054
Leave a review
Seriously, leave a review. It's free, you know, provided you already bought the books.
Talk me up to your friends/family/coworkers
Word of mouth is the best way by which the faith of Bob spreads. You might recommend my books to someone who turns into my biggest fan, or gets me some film deal somehow or something. You just never know.
