Classic Workshop Kickstarter Offer
Two Workshops For the Price of One… A week or so back I mentioned that if you support the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter by buying an online workshop credit. ($300 value for $250 through the Kickstarter), you will get for each workshop credit, a Classic Workshop Credit as well. (A $150 value.) Plus you get a subscription to the magazine as well. Well, ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT to get this offer. That’s right, the Kickstarter only has four days left. So don’t miss out on this one. And remember, you can get as many credits as you like. Even though the one reward says three workshops, just add to your…

Some Finds
Finding Cool Collections… Some of you know that not only do I love pop culture and books of all sorts, but WMG Publishing owns three stores. Two called Pop Culture Collectables, one of which has a bookstore in it, and a full bookstore called North by Northwest Books. Now on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I was out on a picking run through parts of Washington and into northern Idaho. Found some wonderful stuff. The week before that we got part of a Coca Cola Christmas collection from Shelly. Haven’t had time to even start into that one yet, let alone pick up the second half. Here is a picture of…

Third Stretch Goal for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine
We Made It!!!… The third stretch goal which means that everyone supporting the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter will get a book called NO WAY: Totally Twisted Tales: Stories from Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. You can see the cover on the main page of the Kickstarter page. This third stretch goal we called the Cartwheel because making it would make us happy enough to want to do a cartwheel. But alas, all of the crew is far too old, so we had Stomper do it for us. Here is the video: Thanks, everyone for the support. It means a great deal. And remember, if you get a workshop or workshops through the…

Great Dinner With Friends
These Old Friends Know Nothing About Writing… And it was a pleasure to sit for an entire dinner and never once mention writing or publishing. I have sometimes wondered if I was capable of doing that. Seems I am. (grin) Tonight I also finished up the two cross-over days of online workshop assignments with September workshops ending and October first assignments starting. And last night I had some e-mail issues (left over from last week) that caused me to not get done until 5 this morning. Long night there. I have also done some picking for the stores over the last two days. And one of my friends had three…

Even I Am Overwhelmed With Good Stuff…
But Things Will Calm Down… First off, those letters and stuff from two of my posts making it to ThePassiveVoice.com sure stirred up the young-writer hornet’s nest. Fun letters and comments. Only had to hold back three insulting comments this time. And some very good points, well spoken, in the comments both here and on ThePassiveVoice.com. Worth reading. Thanks for the discussion, folks. It’s been fun. I am really overwhelmed at all the fun stuff happening at the moment. We announced our new coast workshops for the year, on the 18th a Branding SF Covers workshop will be starting, we have a brand new online workshop called Novel Structure starting…

Anthology Workshop Surprise
I Was Surprised to Say the Least… Tonight I was doing a quick check of the upcoming coast workshops. We have the Master Business class here in a couple weeks, then the next up is the Anthology Workshop. That actually is the 24th of February to March 3rd. But the group list for the Anthology workshop will start in a week and the actual workshop starts at the end of November when the first writing assignments are sent out. Just over a month away. I had not looked at how many were signed up in a long time. My focus was elsewhere, to be honest, but tonight I discovered there…

Nifty Short Ad for Pulphouse Kickstarter
Thought You Would All Enjoy The Attitude… Below is a link to a short ad that WMG Publishing did for the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter.

SPECIAL NEW OFFER!!! For those of you who are getting workshop credits through Kickstarter, for every workshop credit, you will also get a Classic Workshop credit. That’s right, a $150 value workshop. I just am finishing putting into classic status Genre Structure workshop. I have about five workshops more to…

Pricing Silliness and a Learning Lesson
Five Years is Forever in Indie Publishing… Well, I spent the last two nights going back and trying to update and then even fisk my own post from five years ago about pricing. What a fool’s errand. The post was so out of date, I just kept shaking my head in amazement and wondering who wrote it. I was looking at it through 2017 glasses and a ton of new knowledge. Stunning, just stunning how many changes in this business have happened. In the last five years we have done a master business class here on the coast every October, the next one in a few weeks. And every year…

Amazing Amount of Things Going On
A Crazy Week! One week ago we launched the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter. And within seven days not only did it fund, but it went past its second stretch goal. Wow. And you can get discount workshops through the Kickstarter, don’t forget. Then we also announced a new online workshop yesterday for November. Novel Structure. Taking sign-ups now. We also announced yesterday a new Covers Branding workshop for Science Fiction starting on the 18th and taught by Allyson Longueira. You get a template from that one for your books. Taking sign-ups for this one as well. It is not a normal monthly workshop. Information on both of those workshops in…
