Everything I make starts with one belief: the tools should serve the writer, not the other way around.
I give away a lot of what I build on purpose — free articles, free tools, free resources. If my work has helped you, here’s how to be part of keeping it going. Every level matters.
📣 Share the Word (Free)
The single most powerful thing you can do costs nothing.
✉️ Subscribe free: every free subscriber tells the algorithm this matters.
💬 Share a post that helped you: forward it, screenshot it, text it to your writing group.
⭐ Leave a review on one of the Ink & Code books: reviews are currency for indie authors.
🗣️ Tell a friend: word of mouth built this community, and it’s still the best marketing I’ve got.
📚 Go Deeper (Paid Content)
🔑 Become a paid subscriber: full access to deep-dive articles, Ginsu Drops, the Intro to Cowork series, and the full archive. This is the engine.
🎓 Take a course: hands-on classes on Cowork, AI workflows, and the tools that actually work for authors.
📖 Buy the books: the Ink & Code series: everything I know about writing, editing, publishing, and marketing in the AI age.
🛍️ Shop Ink & Code
👕 Merch: writer stuff, good stuff. For people who want to wear their values.
🎁 Gift cards: give someone access to courses, merch, or books. Perfect for the writer who keeps saying “I should learn this AI stuff.”
☕ Buy Me a Coffee
Some of you have told me you just want a way to say thank you. This is it.
☕ Ko-fi: one-time tips or monthly support. Zero platform fees. 100% goes to keeping Ink & Code running.
💛 Buy Me a Coffee: the other coffee shop, if you prefer it.
💸 Venmo: if you prefer direct and simple.
No amount is too small. A $5 coffee funds an hour of AI credits. It adds up, and it matters. ♥
🌟 Go All In
🏅 Become a Founding Member: Everything in the paid tier, plus instant access to every class in the Ink & Code school, and every new course as it launches, for as long as you’re a member.

🚀 Back the Kickstarter: The full Ink & Code book series, workbooks, and reader magnets, all in one campaign: launching January 2027. Follow the Substack to be first to know when it opens.
I love what I do, and started Ink & Code because I saw writers getting sold tools they didn’t need. I wanted to be the person who just tells the truth. People started pledging money before I ever asked. They just wanted to help. So I let them.
This page is me letting you help, too. However you want. At whatever level feels right. Share a post, buy a book, throw a coffee in the tip jar, or just keep reading — you’re part of this either way. ♥
