Here is a perfect website presenting and giving access to Cat Rambo, one of the most famous best selling writers in our sprawling and ever-morphing field of fiction. Study it. You want to be able to present yourself and your work like this.

You know how we've discussed how to build the world up around your Characters, Plot, Story, and most of all THEME. Details such as discussed in this course are not chosen at random or because they seem exciting ideas. They are chosen to convey information without expository lumps.
She has her own novels, plus some books on writing craft on Amazon:
Cat Rambo has a Patreon link on her website: http://www.patreon.com/catrambo
I've seen more and more very famous, widely published, very versatile, long established writers joining the Patreon business model.
Patreon is an online way of allowing everyday people to become Patrons of the Arts, just like old time Aristocracy.
By subscribing to an author's work, you not only get something from them every month, but you also get to influence the direction of the artistic field's development.
Patreon is the professional manifestation of the oldest fanzine based fan activity.
Study Patreon's business model and use it to leverage your zone of influence.
I don't do a Patreon group, but if I had more time I probably would. In fact, if I were starting my career today, I'd start with Patreon.
