R.B. Lemberg

Hello, friends! I am R.B. Lemberg, queer, bigender immigrant author and Nebula finalist (among other things). Birdverse is my LGBTQIA-focused multicultural secondary world. The world is named after its Bird deity. Birds are awesome.

This Patreon is where I share things I would not share anywhere else: snippets, poems, progress reports, thoughts on writing, all kinds of thoughts, drawings, paintings, doodles, letters characters write to each other, goats (goats are also awesome), essays, and more.

Birdverse Patreon is a happy place! Stretch goals help us unlock additional rewards and make them available to more people. Awesome things that Patrons unlocked so far:

• Many original poems and poem-outlines, as well as reprints (for $2+ Patrons) 
• Marvushi's "Splendid Goat Adventure" - a lighthearted epistolary short story available as an ebook for all patrons.
• Q&A podcast The Birdcast, free for everyone
• multiple Writing While Autistic essays available free for everyone
• many publicly posted Critterfest doodles
• Don't Self-Reject! the essay, publicly available
• Where to start with Birdverse: an Infographic :) publicly available
• Kind stories recommendation post
• "The Book of Seed and the Abyss" - a Birdverse Kabbalah story, original and exclusive for all Patrons
• Plonkongak!, the incredible adventures of firebird and fish, for all patrons
• Bookselling cats - whimsical poem and doodle including eleven cats, two kittens, a butterfly, three human beings, and a bookwagon - all publicly available
• Letterpress adventures wth pieces of original artwork mailed to higher-tier Patrons - all patrons saw the letterpress updates in 2018 :)
• With your help -- more to come!

If you haven't read anything set in Birdverse yet, I recommend Where to Start with Birdverse? An Infographic (also features links and content notes for easy reading). You do not have to be a Birdverse fan, or read any of my stories, to enjoy this Patreon.

My patrons are charged per month of support. Please make sure that you are choosing a level that makes you comfortable.

Thank you very much, and happy Patreoning!
