Want to support my writing?

Become a paid subscriber!

Every Thursday, I write a blog post and send it out through my newsletter called Jade Kim Writes. This publication is reader-supported which means support comes from readers like you instead of ads. This newsletter usually includes topics revolving around parenthood, relationships, growing up, and even some magical short stories.

Jade Kim Writes is the lifeblood of my writing! (I’ve been blogging since I was 16!) If you'd like to show me some extra love and support, please consider purchasing a subscription.

This newsletter is always free to subscribe to, but by becoming a paid subscriber, you get some extra benefits as a thank you from me to you. Check out the details below!

What you’ll get as a paid subscriber…

  1. Access to a free digital copy of Milk and Blood.

  2. A promo code for my physical books on my website for a 15% discount. (All books ordered on my website can be signed at no extra cost.)

  3. Your preferred name will be included as part of the team on the last page of my first-ever printed book! * This benefit is only available before 7/20/25 for Milk and Blood.)

Are you in?

Side swept bangs. iPod Minis. Moody Myspace status updates…Help me bring back blogging like it’s 2010.

FAQ

What if I’m already a paid subscriber?

Then you’ve already completed step 1! Please jump straight to step 2, and let me know what preferred name you’d like to have printed in my book. Of course, you can always choose not to have your name printed in the book as well. I will only include your name if you’ve confirmed your preferred name for print (and eBOOK!).

Are the benefits listed above the only benefits?

No. Those are the main, tangible benefits I’m promising to you. While I like to keep all of my blog writing for free, I’ll be sending the street team exclusive content that is specifically related to my books. An example might be a few different covers to help me decide which one to use or a sneak peek on some of the illustrations for my stories! I’d love for this to turn into something where we can chat and keep in touch on a more regular basis. In the long term, maybe that’s a Discord channel or something of the like! You can help me shape what this looks like!

What are the funds used for from the subscription?

Whether it’s partnering with in illustrator, hiring professional editors for my books—I only work with creative professionals who do not use AI—taking writing courses to improve my craft, covering printings costs, or even maintaining this website, I use the funds to invest in my writing.

What if I can’t afford to be a paid subscriber?

If you can’t afford it, please reach out to me anyway. Let’s talk about ways we can make this team work for both of us! And please remember, most of the content on my blog is free to subscribe for anyone, with the option to become a paid subscriber. (Book-related reveals are reserved for the street team.)

For over a year, I have committed to writing a blog post every week to share my thoughts, connect with readers, and hope I’m helping someone feel a little less alone (oftentimes that someone is me!). What’s important is that you feel something when you read something I’ve written!
