Weekly SECRET NEWSLETTER
$500 per month
When we hit 500, I can finally promise you at least one SECRET NEWSLETTER per week, with at least one photo or two. This will generally be newsletter-only writing (not possible to find elsewhere), or early looks at things to come. This will mostly having to do with things I love and other weird shit. Newsletters could be science explainers, utter filth, diary entries, photo journals, baseball erotica - you get the idea. In the meantime, I will use what money I can raise to do the best I can. 

I want to get very, very weird with this.

One video a week. I feel like there is an untapped market for kitchen science and dirty jokes and how doofy I am in person. Fun!

You're probably here because of the SECRET NEWSLETTER, which means I don't really have to tell you what the fuck it is I do. In fact, you dear supporters are the reason I'm still doing this, for which I love you and would feed you like a baby bird, if circumstances required. 

For the rest: I'm a science journalist, and pussy wizard of note. I write a secret newsletter. Not many folks know about it. Covers everything from absinthe-semen cocktails to baseball erotica, with a dash of stupid diary and hardcore science to taste. And also, there are pictures, but you've probably already seen my butt.


My work has appeared in Hazlitt, The Daily Beast, The Independent, BuzzFeed News, Deadspin, Classical, Vice, Sports on Earth, Sports Illustrated, Silkwords, the International Journal of Plant Sciences, The Verge, The Nib at Medium, SB Nation, The Toast, and NSFWCORP, where I was the Sex and Science Editor (RIP). I'm currently full-time on the Ebola beat for BuzzFeed News. 

The support here will be used to do the SECRET NEWSLETTER. I want a home for whatever weird shit I want to consider, a place to take big dumb risks and tell strangers a bunch of really personal things. But, time is money in the Freelancia circle of hell, and I can't afford to do this if it means time away from paying shit. Hence the Patreon! 

By supporting the SECRET NEWSLETTER, you help me do what I do. You are very literally putting food on my table, but mote than that, you are signing up for an experiement. I don't actually know what the SECRET NEWSLETTER is going to be in 2015. Besides weird, informative, and NSFW. Sometimes you might get three in a week. Sometimes there might only be one or two a month. But my inbox is always open, and by all means, if you're one of my supporters, you bet your sweet ass I care what you think. So don't be a stranger.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT required to support me on Patreon in order to get the SECRET NEWSLETTER. As always, you can get on the list by emailing me at my personal email. And be nice. (No one gets on the list by being a fucking dick.)

TO SUMMARIZE:
1. SECRET NEWSLETTER is still free, but $$ means I can actually keep doing it.
2. To sign up w/o Patreon, email me at leigh.cowart at gmail dot com.
3. Be nice or I won't add you. 
4. I do not send a confirmation email when you signup. Uncertainty builds character.
5. NSFW.
