    Last Day for Starter Kit Kickstarter

    We Said It Would Be Short… Very short in fact. It ends today (Thursday at 7 pm West Coast Time.) You can see it at DEAN WESLEY SMITH Starter Kit.  All kinds of my books, some great special workshops coming back from other Kickstarters (You get a choice if you missed one before), and some fun stretch rewards of stories from other series besides the ten in the Starter Kit. And take a look at the branding. We are pretty good at it. This was only ten days for this one and now down to the last day (hours, actually). Don’t miss it. It has been a fun small campaign.

    Kickstarter Campaign

    Only Six Days Left! Yup, we did this small campaign and set it for just nine days. As many of you know, we did two medium-sized campaigns in January and February, and we had to push back another medium-sized campaign for a scheduling reason. And we had always wanted to try a small campaign, and this one seemed perfect for a short turn in the mix. Since because of my eye issues (90% cleared) I have not finished a new book in the last four months, and almost no one knows about all my writing in the first place. So we figured a small campaign like this would at least…

    Workshops in Kickstarter

    FIVE SPECIALS… They were from earlier Kickstarters and have not been for sale and never will be outside a kickstarter campaign. So since this is for ten of my book series, (Dean Wesley Smith Starter Kit) we went looking for some old special workshops that fit some of my series. And we found five that you may have missed when they went by over the last five years. So here is the write-up about them from the campaign… —- The ones we brought back are the ones that fit with one or more of my series in the Starter Kit. You can get your choice of one, two, three, four,…

    Kickstarter is Live!!!

    And Fun for Me!! You can see it at DEAN WESLEY SMITH Starter Kit.  All kinds of my books, some great special workshops coming back from other Kickstarters (You get a choice if you missed one before) and some fun stretch rewards, including a brand new lecture series. And I was going to add the challenge there as well, but alas it breaks Kickstarter Rules. Sorry. And take a look at the branding. I’ll talk about it later. Only ten days on this one, so really tight turn. Don’t miss it.

    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…
