Questions

Frequently asked questions

Where does the money go?

Straight to me. It pays for the time I spend writing and keeping this site running, and it funds my ongoing fight against starving-artist syndrome, a condition known to destroy creatives like me.

Is this a donation?

No. I’m not a charity, so it isn’t tax-deductible. A tip or a monthly subscription is a way of supporting the articles and free resources on this site.

How do I cancel a monthly tier?

Email hello@jefvandegraaf.com and I’ll cancel it.

How do I receive the perks?

Your name goes on the Supporters page, and Patrons get the details for the monthly hangout by email after signing up.

Is my payment safe?

Payments are handled by Stripe. I never see your card details.
