The chat server is a place to hang out with fellow writers and other creators… and me! As the community grows, we’ll create additional channels. Get in early and earn GOAT / OG credentials!

Hear everything that didn’t make it into the publicly released, produced version of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick, my podcast on making things, finding success, and staying healthy and sane in the process… plus special content intended especially for patrons!

Join me and your fellow patrons on a monthly live streaming video call — and you get to help choose the topic! Pick my brain for advice on writing, indie publishing, world building, podcasting, or anything related to DIY, independent creative endeavors… ask me anything about my books and storyworlds… chat about movies, TV, and books we love… whatever you like!

Access to my wiki, an ever-expanding resource featuring unrestricted access to the inner workings of my various storyworlds and other creative projects. All my secrets are yours!

Every installment of Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: “How It All Got Started,” my fiction serial set in the Sovereign Era storyworld (Brave Men Run, Pilgrimage).

Every patron gets recognized by name and, when possible, by likeness / avatar and website link-back on this very page, plus by name in the acknowledgements section of every work of fiction and non-fiction released during their patronage, and at the end of every episode of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick.

Every Multiversalist patron receives any and every digital product I release during their active patronage: e-books, audiobooks, music, PDFs suitable for printing and framing… if it’s made of bits and bytes, it’s yours.

How’s it made? Multiversalists get glimpses into my creative process when I share notes, sketches, snippets, fragments, outlines, mind maps, and other ephemera related to my works in progress… and we’ll talk about it in the chat channel!

Access to my works in progress: drafts, demos, sketches created on the way to finished prose, poetry, songs, and art. Whenever possible, you can watch me at work via the special WIP-TV video chat channel, too!

Patron-only discounts on my services assisting authors, podcasters, and other creators.

Every month with at least forty patrons, I’ll share a special issue of Your Commonplace with every patron. Your Commonplace features quotes, links to compelling articles, writing prompts, and other items and notes from my very own personal commonplace book.

Every month the patron community is at least 150 people strong, I will write and publish a short story and make it available in e-book, audiobook, and limited-edition chapbook formats. All patrons will receive the e-book and audiobook editions, with a special deep discount on the chapbook — autographed and personalized, too!

Can you imagine 700 patrons in this community? When that happens, your patronage covers my cost of doing business, my rent, and my utilities, taking a huge pressure off of me and granting me more time, energy, and resources for making fiction, non-fiction, music, podcasts… and more time to support and grow the community. At this point, MWS Media Creative Services becomes a part-time job and the majority of my time is spent creating and helping you create.

It’s my hope that patrons aren’t just here for my creative works — you probably have your own creative endeavors cooking, too! So long as there are at least fifty patrons in the community, I’ll regularly feature one in a brief interview on the Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick podcast.

At 250 or more monthly patrons, web hosting and servers, various recurring subscriptions to services and software, Internet bills, and all the rest of the various and sundry expenses related to maintaining my creative services and creative endeavors business will be covered. This goal met also means I swap one workday for a creative day dedicated to making stuff for you and helping you make stuff.

When you number 1,200, I will make creative endeavors my full-time job, all but eliminating my need to work for clients. All day, every day writing books, making music, producing podcasts, and helping you with your own creative endeavors through mentorship and instruction.

When there are 2,400 or more patrons, the lush and lavish studios of MWS Media will become more than just a metaphor. I’ll rent actual office space dedicated to creating resources and instruction for local and online creators, and, of course, my own writing, music, podcasts, and more.
