Double thank you, Bee!

Dear Cicadas, 

I hope this level suits those of you who aren’t quite able to make the jump to $10!

Mantis Level

$10
/ month
Make your mark.
  • Mantises (and all tiers above this) will have your names listed in the acknowledgments for my next book, when it’s published.
  • Access to any rewards unlocked at our current phase.


Fox Level

$25
/ month
Take (a) note.
  • Foxes (and higher tiers) receive a postcard in the month they first enter these tiers. My handwriting is reasonably neat, so you should even be able to read it.
  • Access to any rewards unlocked at our current phase.

Cephalopodish Level

$50
/ month
No spoilers!
  • Cephalopods (and higher tiers) receive a signed copy of the ARC for my next book, when it’s published.

Cat Level

$100
/ month
Sneak a look...

Apartment-Dwelling Beast Level

Limited (2 of 3 remaining)

$250
/ month
What do you think?

Do you ever think, “I wish there were more tardigrade fics,” or, “Why doesn’t anything ever include the phrase, ‘Hurrah! The herring fleet!’?” 


  • Each month you are a Beast (or higher tier), you can (if you like) suggest a 250 topic. My usual 250 rules apply: it could end up anywhere, be about anything. It might lead to a longer piece, it might not.

Gug Level

Gug with a Keyboard!

Some of you are writers, and for you, my dear literary Gugs, I have a special offer. 


  • Twice per calendar year, I'll send Gugs (and higher tiers) a personal critique of one short story (up to 5000 words), including line edits and a written critique of a page or more.
  • Access to any rewards unlocked at our current phase.

The Big One

Limited (2 of 2 remaining)

$1,000
/ month
WOWWWWW

It’s incredible to think someone might feel like this about my work. Your donation at this level is an amazing affirmation of what I’ve done thus far and what I want to do in the future.


You have your own reasons for supporting my writing, so the rewards will be everything from other tiers, plus something specific to who you are. In similar situations, I have written a private children’s story, created fiction from prompts, offered betas/drafts of stories, chatted on the phone, shared plans for the future, or visited when I’m in town.

About Kij Johnson

Goals
$678.88 of $750 per month
Phase: Chrysalis
  • Another drawing! I’ll draw a second name at random from everyone contributing $2 or more each month, and mail that person a signed, print copy of an uncommon work of mine -- a translation or an early, hard-to-find magazine. (US only; if I draw a name from another country, I’ll arrange a different prize.)
