    Gaining Quickly on Stretch Goal #6

    Three Days to Go… I’m betting we will hit the 6th stretch goal shortly and have a decent run at the 7th. The sixth stretch goal adds in a really fun book of holiday stories from Pulphouse called JINGLE MY BELLS. I am so going to love editing that one. And it also adds in a Pop-Up class for writers called “Can I Sell Without Promotion.” So the countdown is on to the end of this. Three days left. Pass the word if you can so we can maybe get to that really cool seventh stretch goal. And give Pulphouse Fiction Magazine a great boost into the year ahead. Pulphouse…

    Three Updates…

    Three Important Projects Going… I almost need the cats from Kris’s promotion central on Facebook to help with this, but sadly at this time of the night they are all asleep. — First Project, last night I talked about the six new and really fun In-Person and Study Along workshops Kris and I are going to do starting in March 2022 and going until January 2023. And that we also cancelled the Anthology workshop because of Covid. All the details are in the last post. And the six workshops all have lots of spots left as well as the Study Along workshops for all six. In interested in the In-Person…

    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 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…

    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…

    Only One Stretch Goal Left… And only 48 hours to hit the 6th Stretch Goal. So don’t delay. But first I want to thank everyone who has helped us get this far. Five Stretch goals. Wow, just wow.

So here we go. In celebration of reaching this level, Kris will do her best to get pictures of our cats and post them. And maybe some of our past cats…

    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!
