Tiers
Tip Jar
$1 per month (sold out!)
Thank you! Yay! We love you very much.
Loyal Listener
$3 per month
If you love Writing Excuses, and you want to help support the show, this is a great way to do it! Thank you so much!
Hear it When Howard Does
$5 per month
When Howard uploads the new episode to the server so he can write the liner notes, you'll get to listen to it, too. This means that you'll occasionally get to hear mistakes that we haven't edited out yet.
The Random Hat
$10 per month
At the beginning of every month, the podcasters will post a random bonus. We might pull something cool from our stash like an outline, a synopsis, a deleted scene, an early draft, an unedited work-in-progress, fan-fic, a puppet pattern, presumably hillarious outtakes, or something even more amazing, sure to delight the hardcore fan or shed valuable insight for an aspiring writer. You will also gain access to every lower pledge reward.
Contribute to our Scholarship Fund!
$20 per month
Writing Excuses is all about giving back to the writing community, and this pledge level is your chance to pay it forward by contributing to the Writing Excuses Retreat Scholarships. These scholarships allow promising writers who can't afford it on their own the chance to come to a six-day, all-expenses-paid writing conference, taught by the podcasters and a rotating schedule of amazing guests. By pledging at this tier you get all of the lower pledge rewards, which effectively makes this a more expensive version of the $10 reward level, but your main reward is knowing that your extra $10 a month is going directly to help a struggling writer. Pretty cool, huh?
"I love your show, here's some money!"
$50 per month
Would you believe that we haven't paid ourselves in years? We used to, and we'd like to again someday, but for now every dollar we bring in goes back into the show in some way: upgrading our equipment, paying our audio people, bringing in guests, and more. Donations like yours help us do all of that, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

This tier includes access to all of the lower tier benefits.
