Become a Multiversalist
As life-long creator, a pioneering independent author and publisher, podcaster, and creative coach and mentor, I’m dedicated to supporting the interconnected and complimentary relationship between an artist and those who experience art.
It’s my mission to add to the culture; to the wellspring of human experience… both by telling stories and making things, and by helping other people bring their creative endeavors to fruition and to the world.
My exclusive membership community serves both elements of that mission by providing me with resources to tell more stories and make more things and share them with you, and by gathering creative people like you in a space where you’ll find encouragement, mentoring, support, and friendship.
Join now and pay as little as $4.17 per month when you pay annually!
Let’s make things, find success as we each define it, and help each other stay healthy and sane in the process… together!

For those with Exceptional means:
Multiversalist Lifetime Membership
(Limited to 25 Members)
Are you a past patron of mine with exceptional means looking for a way to be a patron of my mission to add to the culture for decades to come?
Become a Multiversalist Lifetime member.
You’ll receive everything Gold Multiversalists receive for as long as I’m alive and creating new art.
Your one-time cost: $5,000.00.
How much of a savings is that one-time payment over other Multiversalist membership levels? It’s impossible to say, as we can’t say how long I’ll live! I can tell you my parents lived into their eighties, though! I’m 56 as I write this in December of 2023, which means there could be another twenty years or more for me to make things and help other folks make things.
Of course, the more Multiversalist members, the more financial freedom I’ll have to dedicate more time to my mission. The more time and freedom to write and create, the more books, stories, podcasts, music, and other creative works for you.
Really, though, the only reason you should become a Multiversalist Lifetime member is because you want to, and you can.
If that’s you, click to become a Lifetime Multiversalist, and thank you.
Giving Back and Other Goals
As I mentioned way up at the top of this page: It’s my mission to add to the culture by telling stories and making things, and by helping other people bring their creative endeavors to fruition and to the world.
Your pledge helps me do the first thing by making it possible for me to spend more time creating. However, your pledge will also foster the second thing. Here’s one very important way:
Every month in which your patronage is $100 (net) or more, I will donate 10% to 826 National, a top-rated non-profit dedicated to helping young people become writers through resources, opportunities, education, and guidance.
Other Goals
Let’s see where your patronage might take us!
Monthly Short Story
Every month with at least 40 active Multiversalists (Bronze and above) or net member revenue of $175 or more, I will write and publish a short story and make it available in e-book, audiobook, and limited-edition chapbook formats.
- Bronze patrons will have online access to the story
- Silver patrons will receive the digital (e-book and audiobook) editions
- Gold patrons will receive a handmade, autographed chapbook edition
- Also available to Bronze and Silver patrons for $5.00 plus shipping in a limited order window
Sonitotum Multiversalist Spotlight
It’s my hope that Multiversalists aren’t just here for my creative works — you probably have your own creative endeavors cooking, too! I want the world to know what you’re making.
Every month there are at least fifty active Multiversalists (Bronze and above) in the community or there’s net member revenue of $225 or more, I’ll feature a creator Multiversalist in a brief interview on the Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick podcast.
Multiversalist Member Forum
Once we hit 100 or more active Multiversalists (Bronze and above) each month, it’ll be time to give us all a place to gather as a community. This member forum will be your place to discuss your creative endeavors, your creative passions and obsessions, and, sure, my own work and process as well.
This will also be a place where we can help each other learn and grow as creators. You’ll help decide exactly what that means, because after all, the Multiversalist Member Forum will be for you!
WEekly Creationfests
Every month the Multiversalists community reaches at least 200 active paying members or the net membership revenue is at least $900, I’ll dedicate one day per week to creative endeavors, and I’ll share it all with you via live streaming video.
Be there, over my shoulder, often sharing my screens, as I add words to my works in progress, add lore and depth to my storyworlds, or whatever else the day holds in store! Plus, I’ll be there to help you with your creative challenges and questions, too!
Beyond that? Well, I have thoughts… but by the time the Multiversalists are 200 strong, I bet you’ll have ideas, too… and I want to hear them. Let’s build this community together!
Hey! If you don’t have the means or the desire to become a paying Multiversalist, I hope you’ll still become a member of the community at the free level! You’ll stay in the loop via regular e-mail updates (including direct access to new public articles and podcast episodes) and have free access to Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: “How It All Got Started,” my novel-length new adult fiction serial set in the same storyworld as my popular novels Brave Men Run and Pilgrimage. Go ahead! Sign up for free!
