Questions

Why does Marginalia Club need support?

We don't carry ads that follow you around the internet, and we never sell your data. Patron subscriptions are what keep the servers running and writers fairly rewarded.

Will the Founding Patron price increase?

Yes. ₹299/year is a thank-you to early believers. Once the first 500 spots are taken, new members pay ₹99/month or ₹499/year. Founding Patrons keep ₹299/year permanently.

What happens to free members?

Nothing changes. Marginalia Club is free to read and free to write. Patron Pass is how you go deeper — not a paywall.

Do writers earn from Patron revenue?

Yes. A share of every subscription goes into a writer fund, distributed based on how much patron readers engaged with each writer's work.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from the billing portal. Your badge and benefits stay active until the end of the billing period.

Billed in INR via Stripe — monthly or annual. Cancel any time.
