Thank you so much! You've kept a starving writer alive for a day! On a productive day, I might produce 2000 words of new content. On an equally productive day, I might delete the same amount. Let's hope you're a lucky sponsor! Please look out for a personal thanks and updates about the manuscript's development on my Facebook author page.

Huge thanks! Your support will enable me to work for the better part of two days, which will give me focussed time to improve the pace, flow and style of the language. Please expect a thanks on my Facebook author page and a personal invitation to the launch when all of this comes to fruition.

What a truly generous pledge! This will allow me to work on the book for almost 4 days straight, which will have real impact on the overall quality of the manuscript. For this, I would like to offer you the rewards offered above plus a personal thanks in the acknowledgements page of the book when it is published. I can also offer you a signed copy of either THE BYRON JOURNALS or KILL YOUR DARLINGS, which features the first published excerpts from CONTROL.

Thanks for supporting me to do what I love - your backing is a wonderful gift. I would like to send you a signed copy of THE BYRON JOURNALS and the latest KILL YOUR DARLINGS journal, which features the first published excerpts from CONTROL. You will also receive the other rewards mentioned above.

What a generous patron of the arts you are! I don't think masculinity is written about in meaningful and accessible ways. This theme has come up repeatedly in my life, and know I have an important story to tell. Your pledge will allow me the time and space to properly explore this theme. You've also kept the electricity on at my house! I'd love to run a writing workshop or give a talk on subjects explored in my work to you and your friends, or your local high school / community group.

$1000!? Seriously!? Thank you so much! Your pledge has made a significant contribution to the completion of my second book. I hope that CONTROL stimulates real discussion about fatherhood and masculinity - about how we bring up boys to be men and fathers, and how we can do it better. I'd love to tailor a special thanks that includes all of the rewards offered above PLUS I will cook you a special dinner at my house (and it won't be baked beans).
