Sure. Take the case of Holly Black, a well - known author. She joined Patreon to offer exclusive writing content to her fans. Her patrons received early access to her short stories, chapters of upcoming novels, and even got to participate in Q&A sessions with her. This direct connection with her readers through Patreon not only provided her with financial support but also with valuable feedback. As a result, her books became more popular, and she was able to explore different writing styles based on the interests of her Patreon supporters. It also allowed her to self - publish some works that might not have been picked up by traditional publishers right away.
