Donate to Shepherd

The best way you can help Shepherd? Become a member.

Why?

Because all of our costs — hosting, design, development, support — are monthly or yearly.

When you join as an annual member, you’re giving us a steady, reliable foundation we can count on to keep Shepherd thriving. Your membership isn’t just a one-time gift. It’s a sustaining donation that powers everything we do, month after month, year after year.

Here is more information on our memberships for authors and our memberships for readers (we have a lot of great perks for authors, things like extra exposure to your most likely readers, open blocks of time you can book me to help with book marketing, and more coming!).

What does your donation go toward?

• Keeps Shepherd forever independent, and working for authors and readers like you (here is what we've built in the last 12 months).
• 100% of your donation supports new features and improvements.
• Our big goal: hiring a full-time developer to build even more at Shepherd. 😄

We greatly appreciate donations, as every bit helps.

• 👉Donate via credit card or bank transfer (USD).
  • Or, donate via other currencies: GBP, Euro, CAD, AUD.
• 👉Donate via PayPal in any currency.

Thank you for your support, I couldn't build this without you 😄!

Want to make a large donation?

Please get in touch with me, as I would love to chat. I can get creative with fun and unique ways to honor your significant gift. Much like a museum, we can name bookshelves and parts of the website in your honor (and show that in some very fun ways).

We’ve also done several matching campaigns with generous authors. That has worked well in encouraging authors to join as members, knowing their membership has twice the impact.

Thanks, Ben Fox
