Who am I and why did I make this guide?

My name is Michael Evans. I am the co-founder and CEO of Ream, the subscription platform by authors for authors that helps authors make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in subscription revenue. I’m a sci-fi thriller author of 12+ novels, a former live streamer and YouTuber, and a college student at Harvard. 

I also co-host the Subscriptions for Authors Podcast, am an admin in the Subscriptions for Authors Facebook Group, and am the author of Creator Economy for Authors: A Guide to the Future of Publishing.

I work closely with Emilia Rose, a steamy romance author of 20+ novels who makes six figures per year from subscriptions. She co-hosts the Subscriptions for Authors Podcast with me, helps run the Facebook Group, and co-founded Ream along with me and Sean Patnode. 

We created this guide, Ream, and Subscriptions for Authors to help empower authors to build better futures for themselves and readers powered by subscription revenue. To further that mission, we wanted to create the best possible free educational resources for authors interested in running a subscription, no matter what platform or tools you use to run your subscription business.

Regardless of the subscription platform you use (Patreon, Kofi, Ream, etc.), this guide has tons of insights that will help you be successful as a subscription author. 

Now, let’s get into it…
