#HalfArseHuman has been named paperback of the month for December! Thanks so much to industry experts, The Bookseller 💪 8th December you’ll be able to get your hands on a nice bendy paperback to shove in your pocket, along with your old receipts and sticky sweets, just like the lord of slap-dash intended 🙏 (plus if you’re in the 🇺🇸 or 🇨🇦 you SHOULD be able to buy it in audiobook and e-book now 🤞)

I give away 90% of everything I make for free, and I don’t rely on platform revenue or brand sponsorship for my income… how is that possible?! Well, it’s because a small percentage of every one who watches my stuff support my work on Patreon!
THE GUMPTION CLUB is an online pack of gift-givers, hat-tippers and plot-twisters who have been backing my work for over 10(!) years now.
I’ve been switching up how The Gumption Club works so I thought I’d do a little summary here of everything that’s on offer. Instead of a ‘per creation’ model it’s now a monthly subscription, and the tiers are priced as a 'treat' you might bestow on me if we bumped in to each other in person – and in return you can pick up a whole host of exclusive perks as a thank you for your generosity!
What’s on offer (depending on which tier you choose)?
🎧 Exclusive weekly episodes of The Gumption Club podcast (informal chats from me covering the silly, the saucy and the serious… plus books I’m currently reading + over 140 backlist episodes).
📹 Early access to my YouTube videos, you see them before ANYONE else!
🌻 Access to the Gumption Club Discord community, where we can swap ideas, meet each other and get creative
🎵 Monthly mixtape of what I’m listening to on-loop (YouTube & Spotify playlist link)
📺 Monthly watch list of the best videos I’ve seen on YouTube that month, so you don’t have to doom scroll to find the good stuff
🖋 A digital illustrated download of 'Doom Rolled in Glitter': my first (and only) self-published poetry zine.
🗣 access to an exclusive 37 minute video of me performing poetry in a lush garden
🔒 a secret poem from my current project released exclusively to you each month (inc. a handwritten image of the poem and a voice note from me reading the poem aloud).
✏️ Personalised handwritten poetry or book prescription
Other new things: you can now give (or receive!) Gumption Club membership as a gift and/or get a yearly membership at a discount.
Give us a shout in the comments if you’re already in the club, and if you’d like to join, check it out here: www.patreon.com/c/thegumptionclub *

It took 16 years of uploading weekly video essays, but we got here! 200,000 subscribers ⭐️
11 years as a hobby, 5 years as a job and averaging only one existential meltdown a month! Not bad. Thank you for making this little gumption filled city feel like a friendly village, I’ve loved getting to know you all and hearing all your goofy jokes and ideas on how to make this place beautiful. The world is half wonderful but you’ve made sure my comment section has been filled to the BRIM with glitter and excellent can-do vibes. I can honestly say the internet is my least toxic workplace to date! And that’s all down to you.
I plan to be as silly as possible for as long as you’ll have me, and make it my business that the bastards do not grind us down, as a wise handmaid once said.
✨Celebrating with Craig (who also deserves a head pat for all his hard work on the channel), Colin the caterpillar cookies, gin and Elphaba!

Happy weekend! Need a low-stakes watch for your Friday night wind down? MAY I SUGGEST this week's video, in which I discuss making my dream rainbow dress, getting rid of lots of my wardrobe on Vinted and generally how I'm getting on resisting my shopping urges...
