I buy a $6.99 80-pack of Tetley tea and pay for a subscription because Kelly tea is a priority. Thank you for writing / surviving / being brutally honest and hilar.
Congrats, to me it seems like you've already succeeded dear lady, hopefully I'll catch up someday with my serial fantasy novels and various fantasy-fiction projects!
HarperCollins is a big W, s'il y'en a, as they are a huge publisher! Good on you.
I'm only saddened that you're struggling so much, hopefully it'll start to get better soon.
I literally had no idea you don't make any money off your books continuously. That seems criminal. They are so good. I already subscribe but maybe I can encourage a friend to do so as well. This year has driven over me like that one SNL skit from when we were kids and Steve Martin got run over by a steam roller. And he was just a flat pancake Steve Martin. Does anyone else remember this skit? Obviously, I watched a lot of SNL on Nick at Nite. Anyway, from my weird brain to yours: Rooting for you always, Kelly!
If I may be so bold as to ask: why do you not receive residuals on your work when they are obviously worthy of it, are being pushed by "the big guys", have been out there for "a minute" and undoubtedly being consumed in large enough quantities to warrent you getting that cabbage you've earned?
Fair enough answer. I've jumped on board as a monthly subscriber, as I've been enjoying your work among others. This "Substack thing" has been intriguing me and (your current circumstances aside) you've convinced me of the value this platform can have over others. Or maybe I'm just getting old and more persnickity about where I'm sending my dollars now. Anywho..... thank you for responding, I appreciate your time and the effort it must have took to decide to deal with my, in retrospect, insensitive question. But thank you, again, and Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you & yours! May all that is fucked, be unfucked! And your wishes come true!!!!

Happy New Year, best of luck! (Also, Disaster Artist was an amazing movie!)
New movie ❤️

Cuz shit is fucked.
