Fall updates

So... which one of these pre-order options gives you the most cred and money? Because if they are all the same then I go amazon since I live in the far away north of europe.

Looking forward to reading your book! I hope you find a release schedule that isn't too stressful for you and your team :)

Jade Elaine

"Semi-gratuitous Phantom of the Opera-related content" makes me very excited :)

Luninareph

Hi, Ya! Hope you're well. I preordered your book through your site. Can't wait!

If you want a smaller publisher to look at your series...Hermes Press is down for that :-)

Thanks for the update! Take breaks as you need. I'd also totally be up for some Loose Canon style shorter content if that makes it easier to scratch the itch of getting things out once a month. :) Congrats on the book!

JTB

Wow, looks like you have lots of things going, congratulations. I'm happy that you're getting published, can't wait to read your book. At the same time, I hope you can recover from the burnout, as all of this looks extremely taxing. Best of luck for all your projects :-)

Yup! It'll come out the day the hardcover does

Lindsay Ellis

So exciting! Are there plans for an audio version of the book?

Very hype for the Thing Bad video about traditional publishing. Hope you're all good at Lindsay Ellis Inc. Much love!

Preordered the book! Good content 2020

For some weird reason despite not being a writer I really like to watch writers advice videos, particularly ones about the trails and tribulations of traditional publishing, like the ones by Alexa Donne and Meg LaTorre. Can't wait for your take on the subject!

I'm just a simple man. When new Lindsay content comes out, I watch it. (Soon to be read/watch, Congrats on your new book btw) When there's no new content I assume you are hard at work, and I patiently wait for you to perfect your next piece. Everything you have put out has enough quality content to keep me thinking until your next release, so no worries from me about deadlines. (When I say Lindsay I mean the whole team. You all do amazing work! )

Benjamin Preston

Love you girl, do your thing!

Would love it if you were to use this as a way to link us to all the stuff you're putting out! I just really like hearing your voice, so anything that you're in, I'll definitely listen to!

Aaron Yi

First and foremost I support a couple people on Patreon to chip in a little with the ultimate goal of helping crowdfund some breathing room for the supported party to pursue something they're passionate about. In some cases this results in videos, no exceptions, in some cases it's like those kickstarters you support, then hear nothing from for a year or two until they announce to your surprise and delight they succeeded and you'll be seeing the fruits of their labor soon! (Which bears similarity to the current situation I suppose?) It's nice to get an update, and my inner hipster is proud to support an author before they were published. I only ever managed to experience that with Bob Chipman. Back to the reassuring words and positive vibes: VERY COOL, 1/7168th of your moderate ... guilt(?) that you can ignore.

Missed your videos but all this is good news! Congrats!

Cleanwolf

Oooh, those upcoming videos sound interesting! And I'm really looking forward to more It's Lit!

Sarah Jesness

Yes, although most of it will be narrated by a woman so...

Lindsay Ellis

Thanks for the update. I was just thinking about how I hadn't seen anything from you and your team recently, but without twitter, I didn't know about your other projects. I really do appreciate the occasional updates on Patreon for us weirdos who don't use social media - thanks again, and I'm looking forward to your new content when it comes out.

Haldon Lindstrom

So many cool things coming down the pipe! I'm excited -- and I'm definitely requesting that all my libraries buy your book :)

I publish my first novel with st martins in the mid 90's. traditional publishing was good for the ego but hard on the soul. You're good at what you do.

Sounds good, Lindsay and the team. Thanks for the update! Looking forward to all this good stuff.

Samuel Webb

All good, you set your own pace, so that it works for you. You take care of yourself before us. Also, if it help, I'm subscribed here more as a way to reward you for all the great content you've offered me until now., not as an "employer" for future work.

Sounds like good news. More awesome content coming from an awesome person.

My draw to your content was always the quality rather than the quantity. I’d rather you take longer to make content you are happy with than to rush it to meet some arbitrary deadline.

Bonnie Fiddis

Quality over quantity :) Well done on all the developments! As we say in Ireland, keep her lit!!

John D Ruddy

So, Does St. Martin's have a narrator lined up for the audiobook release yet? Because I, uh... know a professional narrator who might be interested.... (It's me....)

"and for generally being cool dudes". About that, I loved your speech at xoxo, and your statement on twitter about your friendship with Natalie. Good words.

Rork

No apologies needed. I know how hard it is to get good content created. I'd rather patronize (non-insulting manner) you and get great content at a slow-drip pace than the opposite of that where you churn out daily bad content like a Paul brother.

I have been following you from your n-chick days and its amazing to see how much you have done!! amazing stuff, can't wait to read your book

Let me echo what others have already said: I'm here for the quality, not quantity. I look forward to whatever you create. Take your time and take care of yourself! These times are stressful enough without adding self-flagellation to the mix (unless you enjoy that sort of thing, of course!).

Lin Kibblemom

The way I see it, I patronize you ( I mean it in the not-asshole connotation) to be an artist who makes cool stuff. Whether that’s on the main channel, with PBS, or in your own book, I’m cool with it. So no worries, and remember to take care of your health!

Congrats on the series! And we love your videos whenever they come out, please do your best to pace yourself.

gravenscribe

I'd say it's more inspired by watching both Independence Day and The Big Short way too many times

Lindsay Ellis

Congrats on the book series! I look forward to reading it :) No worries at all, take all the time you need -- publishing is rough! I am very intrigued by Axiom's end, I wonder if you got any inspiration for it from your other work?

Vladimir Barash

We love you Lindsay, you keep doing you!

zacH

The fact that you put out videos as often as you do with all that you've got going on is genuinely impressive. I'm here because your work is always quality, I don't need quantity!

Really excited to read your book, and then the next one, and whenever and however often you produce youtube content I look forward to it.

Anne and the Apocalypse

You do you, boo. You're killing it! Just looking forward to the next content whenever it comes out.

Toni Carter

thank you!!

Lindsay Ellis

Truth is there was some... behind the scenes chaos with the writing. Not sure how to proceed, but I do hope to finish it one day.

Lindsay Ellis

Phew, you are having quite the year. Congrats on the book and hang in there.

Get To Know Nature

The rejection hell is so deeply painfully real -- I think my friends and family are probably all deeply concerned over the number of John Kennedy Toole jokes I make at this point. I'm so glad you pushed through it and got out the other side!

Mary Borsellino

That’s all dope shit, and I’m really excited for your success! Super excited to hear about all of it, esp the series with the Financial Diet. I also echo the previously stated sentiment that whenever you do post, I know it will be quality and look forward to it.

Amber S.

To be honest I could give a fuck how often you put out videos, I know they're always gonna be great and I'm just happy to support your work.

Shiny Skunk

WOO! I'm so happy for you. I went and immediately pre-ordered the book. :)

Chelsea Doyle

Dear Lindsay - I am just happy to see you creating your work in any form, and I know how all the behind-scenes stuff is vastly more and harder than it appears on the surface. I eagerly await your tales of book publishing encounters as well as the opportunity to read the first in your new series. Also just want to say that you are a genuinely exciting and interesting voice in everything I've seen you do, so that's why I like to support this Patreon, it's not specific to any one kind of work that you do. Hope this turns out to create a whole new audience for you!

Once in a full moon when I rewatch your content after your new ones come out.

Jokes aside, thank you for your work and your dedication to the nebulous world of YouTubery. We appreciate you!

K.

What happened to the Whole Plate? On indefinite hiatus or canceled?

Dab Page

Awesome work, thanks Lindsay!

SING! SING FOR US! SING, OUR ANGEL OF HOT TAKES!

K.

Super pumped to hear more about the publishing process! I’m curious how that works. And for phantom content👀

Yay Lindsay! Congrats on all the hard work and good news!!!!

You keep being you’re awesome self. And take a breather when you can

YASSSSSS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA CONTENT, PUT IT RIGHT INTO MY VEINS 🤩🤩🤩
