Fun YouTube Ad…
Gwyneth Did This One… It is a very short ad, very fun, for the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription 2021 campaign. Give it a watch. It is only about 30 seconds long. Fantastic job, Gwyneth. And by the way, Josh at WMG did that nifty cover for the campaign. It is five or six of the upcoming year’s covers all blended together. How cool is that? Wow do we have talented people at WMG Publishing. Thanks!! So when you get a chance check out the campaign. It is doing great and on its way to yet another stretch reward. Thanks for all the support.

Almost to Fourth Stretch Goal…
Just $500 Away… I am talking about the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Kickstarter campaign. When we hit that 4th stretch goal, all backers will get a really fun book called GHOSTS AMONG US which are stories out of Pulphouse Magazine that I am editing. And all backers will get another $150 value Pop-Up writing class called WRITERS DEADLY DELUSIONS. This pop-up is designed to help you avoid the many things that can stop a writing career cold. And wow are there a lot of them. This subscription drive is doing fantastic and I want to thank those of you who have backed it. Keeping Pulphouse going and healthy is wonderful…

Three Kickstarters I Think Are Worth Supporting…
I Back A Lot of Kickstarters… In fact, as of today, I have backed 81 campaigns and done 20 on my own. Sometimes, if I back enough campaigns quick enough in a row, Kickstarter labels me a “superbacker” whatever that means. So on this Saturday night, I not only would suggest you back my newest campaign, Pulphouse Fiction Magazine 2021 Subscription Drive, but there are two others campaigns I think are fantastic and worth backing. First off, a nifty historical fantasy novel campaign for a book called A Wish Upon a Star by Kathryn Kaleigh. This campaign is just about a hundred bucks from funding with 4 days to go,…

Great Start!!
Wow! Just Wow! The Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Kickstarter got off to a fantastic start. We funded in record time and today while I was out moving a billion boxes of books into storage, the campaign flashed past our second stretch reward and tonight is well on the way to the third. Next couple of days I will do a post here about all the cool stuff in that campaign. Great reading and great stuff for writers as well. But right now I have this very needy little white cat on my lap while I am trying to type. She is holding one of my arms and threatening to bite…

Pulphouse Kickstarter is Live!!!
Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2021 Just went live at Kickstarter. Check it out. Any magazine to survive needs subscribers and sales and Pulphouse Fiction Magazine is no exception. We have so far used these Kickstarters as a way of generating subscriptions. And we use the Pulphouse books to get authors more money than the professional rates we already pay. And to help promote as well. And the workshops we do in this also help fun the next year of the magazine. So take a look at Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2021.

Worked All Day On Kickstarter and Move
And I Also Put Together an Issue of Smith’s Monthly… And finished a novella. Yeah, sort of a busy day. (Giant understatement.) With Kris’s pushing to keep us on schedule, we spent part of a second day just sorting art. I didn’t realize just how many signed pieces of art we have, not counting things like monster movie posters (originals in good shape) from the 1960s. (I will sell those eventually.) And maybe a good 100 Pulp magazine cover art, reproduced on cloth. All going to storage. So much of our even signed art is just going into storage. We have a stunning amount of room for art in our…

New Books As Stretch Rewards
We Have Four Pulphouse Collections Planned… With other new books on standby. We will be giving all backers at least these four books as part of the stretch rewards if we hit the the rewards. We will also be giving writing classes as well as stretch rewards for all supporters. All four books are themed collections of Pulphouse stories, so that our authors make a little more money for their stories and their stories get out again to new readers. Plus, to be honest, I have a blast editing these. Why wouldn’t I? I love all the stories. So the link to the campaign is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403649867/pulphouse-fiction-magazine-subscription-drive-2021 But for fun, today…

How to Write Spaceships…
Special Class in THE CHASE Kickstarter… And you only got about 20 hours to get it. Goes away and won’t be offered again after 7 pm West Coast Time. Most writers I know, especially beginning writers, think they know how to write spaceships. But I see very few who actually do. Most end up putting a “bridge” in the middle of the ship, or the front of the ship as if spaceships had fronts, and by the time they are done, might as well have Captain Kirk sitting down in the center. And no setting, no sense of scale, and no clue how to do any of that to make…
