The Intelexual Media Book Club (Patreon Exclusive)
Published: August 19th 2018, 7:33:18 am
I recently asked my followers on twitter if they'd appreciate an Intelexual Media Book Club and the response was super encouraging! I have been considering doing this project for a few months now, and I've finally configured perks that I believe would be worth it for patreon subscribers. The great news is, if you're already a patron you're automatically entitled to Intelexual Media Book Club content!
Beginning in September, we will alternate between nonfiction and fiction reads from a plethora of authors in a wide range of topics. Every month I will begin with a segment entitled Lexi Wants To Know, where I pose 1-2 questions that will guide the book discussion. You will be welcome to leave your own predictions, answers, clarification questions, or follow-up questions as the month progresses. I (and your fellow patrons) will interact with this discussion. Think of it as a healthy twitter debate over a book *without* trolls.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! This will be a monthly experience.
Let me explain what kind of Intelexual Media Book Club experience your current reward tier gets.
$1+ Tier:
1. You will get access to the Q+A discussion, in which I answer 5-10 patron-submitted questions in written format
2. You get to vote every month for the next Intelexual Media Book Club selection. The monthly vote will take place from the 14th-16th of every month.
3. You get to ask a question for the Q+A discussion
$5+ Tier:
In addition to the above perks, you get:
1. A 3-5 minute video with my thoughts/critiques of the book. These will also include relevant historical or sociological anecdotes.
2. Entered to win a free copy of next month's selected book, shipped out before the end of the month.
- You can only win once. Each patron on or above the $5 tier will have their name added to a hat, for the winner to be selected at random.
$10 Tier:
In addition to all above perks, you get:
1. My Reader Enhancement Guide, which includes five things to read, watch, observe, know, or listen to that will enrich your experience with the selected book. This will be a creative outlet for me, where I can curate playlists and art, suggest documentaries, include mini historical anecdotes/lessons, and provide articles or primary sources for further reading.
