Starting in 2020, I'd like to give out small grants to people who are recent grads and struggling to pay back their student loan debt. When I graduated with my own debt, there were a lot of restless nights and I experienced a lot of added mental stress because of my debt. It's been 10 years since I graduated, but I still remember that feeling of hopelessness. I have an application for those who would like to be the recipients, and I am hoping to start a podcast where they can talk about their goals and dreams.

From time to time, I hire out from narrators, or I need to pay for some audio editing services. Full audio books are budgeted at $500 a book, but it can vary again due to length and style or anything else.

Editing for different projects can vary as widely as the book covers, but I usually budge for $500 a book per round (and again, sometimes it is considerably more, and often times I'll have more than one editor/proofreader). Pick a book I'm working on and submit your request that it go to funding! I'll credit you in the opening pages as "Editing Funded By ... " or "Editing Funding Provided for in Part By ... "

Who doesn't love seeing fan art or SWAG on a t-shirt, coffee mug, poster, or even a cool manga? Commission some artwork for me and see it up for sale on my Teespring store (https://teespring.com/stores/in-love-with-imagination!) Credit will be listed in the item's listing. I will also be happy to send you an item with your design on it! Again, prices vary, but I'll happily list your name where I can show off your amazing support!

I have GREAT cover artists that I contract for my books. My book covers can range in price, but I usually budget between $100-250 (though sometimes it's considerably more -- but hey, I love them!). Buy me one and have your name credited in the book "Funded by ... " or "Paid for in Part by ... " in the book. I will also send your your own copy, signed by me, for you to keep!
