OWW for SF, F & H: Bonus Payments

BONUS PAYMENTS (94 CENTS PER WEEK...ABSURDLY CHEAP?)

We agree that 94 cents per week ($49 per year) is a piddling sum. It's the least we could charge and still expect, with some luck, to stay solvent as a company. But we know that many members feel that the workshop is worth much more to them. So here's your chance to award us with a bonus on top of your membership fee. 25% of any bonus payments go to our support staff, sort of like a tip for good personal service. The rest will be tucked away to keep us running! (More about who "us" is)

You can give us bonus payments via PayPal or Kagi or through the mail with a check or money order.

Is the workshop worth $5 a month to you? Award us with a $11 bonus for a total of $60 for the year.

Or is what you're getting worth $1.50 a week? Send us a $29 bonus for a total of $78 per year.

Maybe you feel it's worth $10 a month, prompting you to send us a (gulp) $71 bonus. (We can always hope.)

Or maybe you'll feel like sending us a bonus whenever you make a sale of a workshopped piece. Or possibly when you sell that novel.

(Select the bonus payment item on the Kagi order form; donations are in $5 increments.)

Check or Money Order: You can also add a bonus payment to your membership payment by check or money order, or send in a separate check or money order. Just note the bonus on the memo line.

A little bit about Online Writing Workshops:

We are not a big faceless company out to milk your wallet for all we can get. Just to prove it, here are our faces:

Ellen Eric Charlie

We're a very small company--sometimes described as a mom-and-pop-and-friend Internet start-up--dedicated to providing these workshops to aspiring writers and hoping to make enough money by doing so that we can expand into many genres and writer populations and offer our service more widely.
And, oh yeah, be able to pay ourselves something every month as well.

We all spend about half our work time on the workshop, half on other projects, and hire freelance help as it's needed.

Our budget is pared down to the marrow and our costs are mercifully low--which is why we can give this a go at all. So if you feel the workshop is worth more than the minimum membership payment, please realize that any bonus payment you give OWW is not going to be used to re-carpet the corporate jet!

Thanks for helping!
