# Support the Project

Support is entirely optional. Reading, sharing, or subscribing to the newsletter all matter.

## How To Support

The Supporter Edition is available on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/s/9ec1a75d6c

One-time purchase. All future updates included.

General support (tips): https://ko-fi.com/stefanhessler

## What Supporters Receive

- The complete current edition of Winter Juniper (EPUB & PDF)
- Annotated map of Caelithâr
- Extended world notes — deeper than the public site
- Behind-the-scenes material written for early readers
- All future updates included

This is not a store. Think of it as the story's inner circle — early access to the book and the world around it, before it reaches anyone else.

## What Remains Public

- The Prologue is free on the website for everyone.
- Subscribers receive the Prologue through Chapter 3 free.
- The world page, about page, and all site content remain publicly accessible.

## If You Cannot Support Financially

That is completely fine. Reading, sharing, or signing up for the newsletter all matter. The story finds its audience one reader at a time.
