KICKSTARTER FOR MY BOOKS…
DEAN WESLEY SMITH Starter Kit… Kickstarter campaign starts tomorrow. You want to get a sense of what I write since I never talk much about my own books here, take a look at ten of my series we are offering first books in the Starter Kit. We launch at noon West Coast Time, but the promotion page is up. That way you can have Kickstarter contact you the moment it fires off. And trust me, if you back a campaign quickly, it really, really helps us. A lot. First books of ten of my series, plus some great special workshops (actually your choice of five) and a series of new…

Only Three Days Left!!
On Two Things… The Special Letter Offer I sent through Teachable and also THE NEW DIVING NOVEL Kickstarter Campaign. (And Yes, I finished the half, but not without some issues… Tomorrow or Tuesday I will have pictures.) This weekend the Kickstarter campaign hit backer #350 which opened up a special Stretch Reward for everyone backing the campaign. And we are very close to the next regular Kickstarter. So please help us pass the word. Also, this Kickstarter has two really great special classes on writing science fiction that are both very different from anything we have done before. Very different and both would really improve you sf writing a lot.…

Smith’s Monthly
New Place for Smith’s Monthly… We have all of them on our new Shopify store. Right now only the electronic editions are there, but given time, with luck, the paperback copies will be available as well. Check it out. When you see all 67 issues one right after another, you realize how amazing it is. Remember, each issue is about 60,000 to 70,000 words of only my fiction. Four or five original short stories every issue, plus a novel or something else large, plus other stuff. Every month. The November 2022 was the 67th issue. That was the last one I did at the moment because of my eye issues.…

Diving Universe Kickstarter Doing Well!
Launched at Noon on Tuesday… So as I write this, it is less than two days and it is about to hit the second stretch goal and trigger the new series of workshops that will be on Teachable. To say that Kris and I are excited to teach some basic concepts and tropes of science fiction with the help of Rocket-Fuel Rachel and Space-Cowboy Pete would be an understatement. That is going to be so much fun. And got a hunch those two will be around in different genres and in different forms in different classes. So back the Kickstarter, get Kris’s wonderful new Diving Novel called COURT MARTIAL OF…
