(Illustration by Michael Bukowski for Ride the Star Wind.) We very much love what we do here at Broken Eye Books, getting to bring so many weird and wonderful authors and artists to you. And we want to keep doing just that, publishing the odd, strange, and offbeat side of speculative fiction and blurring the boundaries of weird, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and more. We want to continue bringing you the kinds of stories that you love.
So we've launched a Patreon. This enables you to purchase an ongoing subscription to our books and ensures that we can continue to offer professional rates to our authors and artists, can continue to bring you stories with complex characters and grandiose ideas and diverse experiences. This will help us continue to grow and to build a weird and wonderful community.
We just launched it, but we've got lots in store. We lay a little of that out below, and we'll be announcing new titles as we move forward. You can help us bring our books to life while ensuring that you get your own copies every monthly.

ANTHOLOGIES: We love anthologies, love creating each discrete mix of diverse voices on some new fascinating theme, each story a different window onto a vast universe.
Going forward, we will attempt to always have an active open call, perpetually seeking new stories. Each month we will release several stories to subscribers in advance of the official release. We are currently editing Ride the Star Wind and are accepting submissions for Welcome to Miskatonic University. Both will be published in 2017. (If you subscribe in June, you'll receive the first 8 stories and illustrations of Ride the Star Wind, which won't be available to the public until September.)
SERIALS: We are starting serialized fiction and will be able to announce our first titles very soon. Each serial is by a different author and is its own unique beast. Some are shorter, some are longer. Subscribers will receive each installment as they release. Once each serial is finished, they'll be collected in ebook and print editions and made available to the public.
NOVELS & NOVELLAS: We have several novellas coming and a few novels on the horizon. Subscribers will receive early release versions of these books.
INK & PAPER: We will set up tiers for the print editions soon. And we have posters now, too.
GOALS: We have several goals for the coming year that your subscriptions will help us achieve:

GOALS: We have several goals for the coming year that your subscriptions will help us achieve:
- Maintain a perpetual open call for submissions at professional rates.
- Publish 3-4 anthologies in 2018. The first two are already in development (and they're not in the Cthulhu Mythos, though we'd love to do another of those next year). The next anthology will be announced soon.
- Expand our serial and novella lines.
- Develop a regular release schedule. This is a challenge right now as sales from each title generally go toward funding the next, and the regularity of subscriptions would help us better anticipate release dates.
- Experiment with more fascinating content.
