Sardonic Poet presents
Get paid to read!
Help me pay you.
My work has been described as possibly attracting the masochistic. The reality is my books are short, dense, and complicated (with little context). The only people that actually read my work, are paid. For example my editor. I pay him to read my work. He edits my work and I appreciate that, but really I just want to ensure someone reads it. My books require well, masochism and critical thinking. If I pay my editor to read my work, I could do the same with you.
Option 1 - Hardcover
Here's your incentive: you purchase a hardcover copy of my book, you read it, and I will subsidize each hardcover copy at $100 CAD a piece via PayPal. What's the catch? Deliver me a testimonial between 250-500 words about your insights my books inspire you to record. If I approve it, I'll publish it on my website and transfer you the money. You will provide your headshot holding the book you read in front of your face (below your nose), your full name and the province/state you live in. Your identity must be verified to qualify. Why? Trauma hates bravery.

Option 2 - Online
Some books are uploaded to my site, so there's no up-front cost or shipping fees. I'm basically paying $50 CAD per online book you to read. What's the catch? Deliver me a testimonial between 250-500 words about each book you read, and I'll publish it on my website. This is not a book review. This is your opportunity to share insight into your past my books inspire within you to record. You will provide your headshot, your full name and the province/state you live in. Your identity must be verified to qualify. Why? Trauma hates bravery.

It goes without saying I'm not going to approve every application. You are NOT guaranteed subsidy if you submit what I deem to be inappropriate gibberish. There are only five testimonials per book. Once the maximum is reached the offer ends for good. Upon my approval, I will transfer the money to you via PayPal. Remember I'm not obligated to pay you unless you satisfy (to my liking) all the criteria:

Step 5: Approval Process will be completed when my time and funds permit it. If your submission is unfit for any reason, I will deny you a subsidy. However, I will encourage you to keep trying until you succeed. This is not a book review, my books help the reader introspect. Share your insights into your own experiences that my book inspired you to recall. What I'm looking for in your testimonial is honesty and grace.

This is MY incentive. Knowing someone is reading my work makes me feel good. It's cathartic. For me, it's worth the money to pay strangers to read my writing. This is what I'm doing to move on from my trauma (through bravery). I don't want celebrity, I want to accelerate healing. If I help you in the process, all the better. Help me pay you.
I ONLY KNOW WHAT I DON'T KNOW.
Talk to me and I will give you a truly alien perspective.
