Perhaps they didn't fit a search criteria? Got examples we can see?


A few I'm aware of:

https://www.patreon.com/pirateaba 4300 patrons with no $ listed but I've heard it's well over $10,000/month


Thank you!!!! This is very helpful. Looks like they aren't tagged as fiction which is why I couldn't find them. I'll definitely dig into these as some amazing case studies!

Even in the video game development industry, the stars have to start somewhere. Notch himself started as a developer at King before moving on to Jalbum, then Wurm Online, before even starting Minecraft.

How else do you get the skills to create a masterpiece without starting on average titles for average pay?


You've reminded me of a Stephen King quote:

"While it is impossible to make a competent writer out of a bad writer, and while it is equally impossible to make a great writer out of a good one, it is possible, with lots of hard work, dedication and timely help, to make a good writer out of a merely competent one."
