Hi all and welcome to Jeffe's Closet!
You may know me from my books - at the time of this writing, I'm finishing what will be my 64th published title - and so you might also know that I'm full-time author supporting myself and my husband with my writing. (Well, and writing-adjacent activities like the mentoring and coaching I offer via this Patreon.) I'm currently President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA). I've also been a published author for nearly 30 years. I've seen a lot in my three decades in this industry. As such, I'm often asked for advice or insight from brand new writers to expert-level colleagues. Sometimes I offer advice when I'm not asked for it!
Frankly, I love helping out other writers. Talking about writing - even when it's not my own! - is one of my favorite activities. These days, I'm trying to find better ways to have conversations with people, so I'm starting this Patreon.
This is my private community for writers of all types and levels. We're not here for the things you can find on every info blog, but for the insights and advice of experienced authors. This place is for live conversations with solid information from people who've been there. There are no stupid questions - but you may be directed to resources where you can quickly and easily find those answers.
The bulk of what happens here is on my Jeffe's Closet Discord. By supporting me via this Patreon, you'll have access to various tiers of mentoring and conversation with me and with other fantastic members of the writing community. All are welcome here: traditionally published, indie published, and hybrid - or aspiring. I'm hybrid myself, so I have insight into both tracks, from small publishers to the Big 5. As a cross-genre author of fantasy romance, I don't discriminate on the basis of genre. All are welcome. I'm a cis-het white woman of middling years, but this is a diverse community. Creators of all walks are welcome here and discrimination or hate of any kind will not be tolerated.
Come in and join us. I look forward to chatting with you.
