Product Pricing

I utilize a sliding scale pricing system (also called The Green Bottle Method). I invite folks with higher financial privilege and access to pay at the higher tiers and folks with less financial privilege and access to pay at the lower tiers. There is no vetting or checking on my part, but know that being transparent and paying more when you have the resources and ability to keeps it possible for me to provide lower cost options and broadly accessible, forever-free PDFs of my work.
