Ways to support the Sixty Odd project without taking out a paid subscription

Sixty Odd Poems and Sixty Odd Poets along with their entire archives are completely free to access - unless you choose otherwise.

Adapted from the post ‘Some Reasons Not to Take Out a Paid Subscription to Sixty Odd Poems”

1. Leave a Tip

There is no need to send cold hard cash, but if you really want to you could send a one-off something through “Buy Me a Coffee”. (I whimsically changed Coffee to Banana) on the page - haha! You can even subscribe there for £2 a month (£20 a year) which is even cheaper than the lowest subscription plan on Substack (£3.50/£35).

2. Buy Sixty Odd Publications

You can buy my books and the ones that I publish for other people on Amazon UK, Amazon USA and many other international amazon sites. Or you can check out what is for sale on my bookshop , contact me and arrange to buy direct. That method could work out cheaper for both you and me as well as less profitable for the broligarchy.

4. Spread the Word

You can tell other people about the Sixty Odd project, link to it, link to the bookshop, or maybe buy them as gifts for others.

5. Book me for a Personal Appearance

You could offer me some sort of a gig - I am happy to do poetry readings, talks about poetry, writing, the use of the internet in the creative process, publishing, self publishing, or in fact anything that I have ever discussed in sixty odd poems. I am also available for podcast interviews and other media (but not on itv - I have a thing about itv, sorry). If you are looking for a guest editor on your Substack or literary publictaion, I would be very interested.

3. Give me a Gift Subscription to Your Substack

You can subscribe me to your own Substack for free, the option is there in settings, under payments, discounts, gift paid subscriptions. There are lots of sites on here that I really like, but I just can't afford to pay for them all. So I don’t actually pay for any.

5. Send me Your Writing

You can send me free copies of your books and publications - not in the expectation that I will review, or even read them, but in the knowledge that I will at least do you the honour of reading through the first twenty or so pages. If you want to send me your writing in the hope of getting me to publish it in some way - go to the submissions page.

6. Speak to me

Or you can just engage with me at no cost to yourself at all - either in the comments section or by emailing me. Every response that I get helps me to realise that I am not bellowing into the void, and, as long as it is generally positive, is actually more heartwarming than cold hard cash.
