Crowdfunding

I have been accepted to do MLitt Creative Writing at Glasgow University, but all of my funding applications so far have fallen through. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to have to raise the fees by crowdfunding.

I have a Patreon here -

https://www.patreon.com/elainegallagher

- please consider sponsoring me. You will receive early access to the videos that I make, and I will produce an ebook and a paper book of the pieces I perform for the sponsors with higher pledges.

If you can't sponsor me, then please spread the word. If you share the following facebook page then it will also link to my Patreon.

If I can make £200 per month through sponsorship, then I can pay the part-time fees of £772 per 20 credits on the course.

After an initial bout of head scratching, I worked out the Patreon site - I've shared it on FB, and wish you all the lucks.

Do you have an understanding bank manager?

Thank you so much.

My credit rating is Mud and has been for a long time, due to a succession of burnouts and/or periods of unemployment. Bank-based solutions are not available.
