Dawn Peers is creating
new words and destroying old worlds, via horror and dark fantasy
a horror writer scared of horror... this should be interesting.
Milestone Goals
Start at the Beginning
$100 would be a great starter amount to hit; this would cover the cost of formatting, for each of my titles.
When I hit this goal, I will publish, for Patreon donators only, a video of my first ever poem. It's a private piece of work, and was entered into a competition (for which it reached the finals) but never officially published. A piece of my beginning, for helping me get to here.

Don't be Sad
This would be an amazing amount to achieve. For me, this would cover all accumulative editing and formatting for all of the works I want to bring out in 2015, and beyond. For this, I will set up a "thank you" page on my website, with the names of my Patreon pledgers thanked permanently. You will also be named and thanked in my 2015 fantasy releases "Eyes of Fire" and "Souls of Light".
I will also release a Patreon-exclusive story set in the Great Bitten world.

All Bases Covered
If I got to $500 per month, that would be amazing. This would cover all of my subsidiary costs for editing, formatting and cover work. As a thank you, every one of my Patreons will receive an ebook of Legacy of Darkness, my fantasy title, in the e-reader format of their choice. I will also release a video of me reading from each of my works published so far, being Legacy of Darkness, Mr Classical, and Great Bitten: Outbreak. This will be Patreon-exclusive content.
Daydreaming
Getting to this figure would be a stunning dream come true, though I can't imagine it happening, one can only hope!
Not only would this cover all of my production costs, I could seriously look at producing audio versions of my self-published fantasy works. This will also go towards marketing costs.
If I reach this goal, I will release a Patreon-exclusive video of a full reading from one of my self-published Great Bitten short stories, and every Patreon will receive the ebook of this story as a gift.

I'm a writer now!
Okay, this is serious dream-land, right here.
However, as well as covering all of my costs, donations of $2000 per month would mean I could seriously look to stop working, and start writing full time. That means I could almost quadruple my output. As a thank you, at this point, every single Patreon donating over $5 per month will receive a signed copy of Legacy of Darkness. Yes, the paperback. For those below, I will send you a personalised email of thanks.

Thank you for visiting my Patreon site, and giving me your time. Writing can be a lonely pursuit, and it's great that, on places like Patreon, we get to interact with the people that love our work.
I have so many ideas, and so much I can produce; what I can't do, is keep up financially with how fast my fingers can type!
This year (2015) I am planning to write 1,000,000 words of fiction. Whilst some of this work will be lodged with a publisher, this will encompass three novels and three short stories, all to be self published. This costs money I just don't have, and I am in the horrible Catch-22 scenario: people will only tend to read you, if you have a whole series out, or have a lot of words. But, I cannot afford to bring out all the works I have, to the standards I would expect as a reader. This includes a professional cover for each title, as well as editing, proofreading and formatting. This is where I hope you, the reader, will step in.
