At Skaldarion Studios, we believe that education is a right, not a privilege.

Whether you’re a writer, a storyteller, a worldbuilder, or simply someone hungry to learn — the tools to grow your craft should be free and accessible to everyone.

That’s why you’ll never find ads on our website.

We don’t clutter our content with distractions. We don’t chase affiliate commissions. And if we ever recommend a tool, it’s because we actually use it or genuinely believe it’s worth your time.

We’ve chosen not to pursue sponsorships or gated content. Instead, we follow a Patreon-supported model. It’s simple:

If you find value in what we do — if our articles help you write better, think deeper, or simply see your stories in a new way — and you have some spare change, we’d be honored to have your support.

But we won’t lock knowledge behind a paywall. Ever. Occasionally, we offer optional resources like downloadable PDFs, templates, or workflow guides — not to gatekeep the learning, but to make your creative process more efficient.

All the content within those resources is explained freely in our articles.
The paid versions are simply ready-to-use formats — for those who’d like to support the site and save time.

Think of them as convenience tools, not missing pieces.

Instead of secret tips or exclusive content, our patrons get something more meaningful:
A chance to help shape what we create.

You’ll be able to vote on which book we write next.
You’ll get the occasional behind-the-scenes look at how we build our worlds.
You won’t get special treatment — but you will get a say in the voyage we’re on together.

That’s our promise.
No gatekeeping. No gimmicks.
Just honest storytelling, shared freely — powered by those who believe in the mission.
