Copyright And Value and Estates
Yes, I Know… Sounds Boring… But has some real world aspects to it that come clearly to the front with this Kickstarter Campaign for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. Let me give you two examples. A negative one first, then a very positive one. Kris and I were doing two anthologies for stretch rewards for the last Pulphouse Fiction Magazine campaign two years ago. I was doing Stories from the Original Pulphouse: A Fiction Magazine and Kris was editing Stories from Pulphouse: A Hardback Magazine. (Both are now published.) Seems simple, right? Pick my favorite stories, contact the authors, make them an offer, sign a contract and publish the story in the…

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…

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 a Pulphouse Story Workshop
ONLY PLACE TO SIGN UP IS ON KICKSTARTER… About 24 hours left as I write this. The How to Write a Pulphouse Story is a three week special workshop, offered only twice, once starting the first of October and then starting November 5th. (Your choice.) Three weeks, like a regular workshop (only half as long and half the price), with three assignments. (So yes, you can take it with other workshops and sorry, no, this is not included in the lifetime subscription. Only place it is available is on the Kickstarter to help Pulphouse Fiction Magazine.) The third assignment is to write a Pulphouse story and I will read it.…

Two Days Left
Set Another Stretch Goal! We are almost to our 5th stretch goal, so with two days left, we wanted to set another stretch goal, one that seems a little out of reach, but still possible. So the 6th stretch goal has a Pop-Up Bundle for writers (worth $600) and a nifty anthology for readers. Cattitude. I really hope we hit it because I would love to have everyone get a free copy of this anthology. Cover below. And thanks for all the wonderful support. Help us pass the word for the last two days. Thanks!

Pulphouse Magazine
Only A Few Days Left… Back in 1987, when Kris and I started Pulphouse Publishing, we could not have imagined that in a short thirty-two years we would be running something called a Kickstarter as a form of subscription drive. Back then, subscription drives for magazines consisted of buying mailing lists and sending out a ton of mailers in hopes of getting one or two percent return. And don’t forget those annoying subscription cards inside magazines that dropped out when you opened them. And back then we had to spend money to have the magazine on magazine racks. The first incarnation Pulphouse Fiction Magazine was on news stands. We lost…
