Erica McGillivray

Who I am.

I'm Erica McGillivray. Some of you may know me as a community professional and online marketer; others as a co-founder of GeekGirlCon; and a couple may know me as a writer and pop culture, mostly comic books, critic. I've been writing stories since I could spell my name. Now I'm working on making my writing a bigger priority and focus in my life.

What's Patreon and why am I using this platform?

Patreon functions like a subscription to an artist or writer. If you like what I'm doing, you can support me on an on-going basis and get access to exclusive content. Patreon's mission is to support creators.

I initially started using Patreon when laid off. However, since then, I am employed. However, my long-term career goals are to have the ability to focus on my writing and creative contributions, instead of my current career.

(I am also very lucky that my 9-to-5 gig is something I generally enjoy and you won't see my complaining about at large.)

In order to achieve moving myself long-term into writing, I need the finance support of incredible patrons like you. Even $1/month pledges mean the world to me.

Thank you.

Your support will allow me to expand the reach and depth of my writing and art. It will allow me to focus my energies on creation, instead of 100% worrying about only doing work-for-hire. It will give me the flexibility to control my career's future. Thank you!
