THE ART OF PATRONAGE
Give something
that keeps on growing.
Let your generosity live on—and grow—within the community.
This is community play: a contribution becomes part of your story, and of the world around you.
Make yourself at homeAn interactive concept. All Medici is in early development.
01 / YOUR OWN BOOKSHOP
A bookshop.
With your point of view.
As a patron, you could open a virtual bookshop of your own.
No centralised ranking tells everyone what to read. Readers wander into bookshops shaped by people: your interests, your judgement, your unexpected discoveries.
Step out of the algorithm’s cage.
Find your way back to the bookshop.
02 / A COMMUNITY AROUND YOU
No time to run it?
Don’t worry.
Give active community members a title—and a part in the story.
Appoint knights, bards, scribes, or whatever you choose to call them. They can help discover emerging writers worth supporting and look after your bookshop.
EXPLORE A POSSIBLE ROLE
Champion a new voice.
Look for promising emerging writers, read their work, and bring thoughtful recommendations to your patron.
AN EXAMPLE CONTRIBUTION
“This writer deserves a closer look. Here is why.”
The names are yours to choose. These are examples, not fixed ranks.
