Reward Tiers*

• $10+:Name in "Acknowledgments"

  • Back this project and your name appears in the "Acknowledgments" section of the book. Names listed with contributor consent only.

• $50+: Personalized Video Thank You

  • A 2-3 minute video from me, discussing a specific aspect of Henley's music or career. All factual claims sourced and footnoted on the project page where possible.

• $150+: Roundtable (Guest: music journalist)

  • A 60-minute, author-led Zoom where I discuss archival discoveries, open questions, and the sourcing process. A veteran music journalist who has covered Henley and the Eagles may join as a guest, subject to written confirmation.

• $300+: Design Patron

  • Fund the cover design and interior layout. You'll review three cover concepts and submit your preferred choice. Final cover and all intellectual property rights remain with the author and designer. Participation does not transfer any rights in the design.

• $500+: Sponsor a Research Stop

  • Your pledge funds one of my key research trips to uncover untold stories from Henley's roots and rise. Independent research is what makes this biography authentic—every mile, every interview, every local archive visit adds texture to the story. Your support funds that discovery.
