How to be part of my inner circle

Your Image

Montefeltro

$7 per month

As a Montefeltro patron, you'll receive an advance ebook edition of each upcoming novel, short story, or non-fiction book I publish. You'll get to read before anyone else. I'll also send you periodic discount codes for paperbacks, hardcovers, audiobooks, and art history programs, exclusive to my patrons at this level and up.

Sforza

$25 per month

Just like the Sforza family, you have demonstrated excellent taste by supporting me at this level! In addition to everything included at the Montefeltro level, I will mail you a signed paperback of each new book I release, shipping included. After 6 months of support, you'll also gain free access to new seminars inside my Art History Academy.

D'Este

$50 per month

3 of 10 spots remaining

Just like Isabella d'Este and her family, you have demonstrated that you are not only a committed, leading patron of the arts but a true tastemaker! At this pledge level, you'll receive everything listed at the lower levels. At the 6-month mark, you'll lifetime access to one of the premium courses in my Art History Academy. That benefit alone will more than cover this level of support.

Borgia

$100 per month

5 of 8 spots remaining

On this level, you'll have all of the above goodies--but sooner--at the 3-month mark. In addition, you'll receive special privileges (just as anyone worthy of the Borgia name would). My Borgia patrons get to choose a character name in my next short story. Good guy? Bad guy (hint, hint)? You choose.

Medici

$200 per month

3 of 5 spots remaining

Patron extraordinaire! This would be a level of generosity almost too awesome for me to contemplate, but like any good artist sponsored by the Medici, I am at your service. And in addition to all the above rewards, at the 6-month mark, you can choose the character, setting, and general subject matter for a short story dedicated to you. What do you want to read? All you have to do is ask.

Not ready to support at these levels?

Non c'è problema. Buy me a caffè instead!

$3 per month

I'm fueled by espresso! Patrons who buy me a coffee each month are some of my favorite people in the world! :)

Grazie!

Why become a patron?

Your Image
Your Image

I'm Laura Morelli, art historian and author of non-fiction and historical fiction based on the history of art.

Art is a magical thing. It has inspired me throughout my life, and that is what I hope to do for others with everything I create. I want to connect with people. I want to help people feel not alone. I want to help people feel hope. I want to help people feel. Period. If this is something you believe in, something that seems important to you in some way, then this is the place where you can make more of that possible.

During my years as a full-time author and teacher, I have learned that the only thing I really need is you. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning. You are the ones who believe in me and my work, the ones who support the creation of my writing, the ones who allow me to do what I love every day.

In centuries past, people believed that it was important to support their artists and writers. In Renaissance Florence, for example, patrons of the arts made the careers of artists like Raphael, Michelangelo, and others by letting them lodge in their homes, and by engaging with them and buying what they made. If it weren't for those patrons, well... You may never have even heard of Michelangelo.

Now, I'm not asking you to set me up in your guest room. But... I believe in patronage. I've been a patron of other artists and writers because I believe it's important to support the work that matters to you.

Your Image

Today, I'm building a community for people who care about books and art. If I've learned anything, it's that lovers of books and art are the most generous people in the world. So I'm using this forum to create a community of folks who appreciate what I'm doing and want to help, whether it's the writing or teaching or publishing.


You make it possible for me to do the work I think matters, and in return, I work my head off. Whether you can afford to be a Montefeltro or a Medici (see above...), you are all equally valuable as my patrons because your support--no matter how great or small--demonstrates that you value what I am creating and want me to continue.

Your Image

I believe that books and art enrich our lives and strengthen our spirits. So let's make this world a better place--together.
