Available….
Some Classes Started And Still Available… I just posted the third week of 52 weeks of both the MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY and CREATIVE SURVIVAL classes. Every Monday morning you have four videos each class. All year long. This week on CREATIVE SURVIVAL was basically about standing up for your own work. MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY was uplifting with a great quote from Charles de Lint as the pithy comment of the week. Both of these are still available on Teachable to get either as a full year or by the quarter. Now that the first of the year has settled in a little, these might help you keep on track. DIRECTED STUDY…. Also…

Working on the Challenges from Last Year…
Yes, I am slow… Mostly because things like not even getting into this office until after eight this evening. PT and doctors can really suck up a day. (grin) So I am reading the stories for Pulphouse and also alternating with doing the letters to get everyone credit for last year’s challenges. And we have an in person workshop starting here on Monday (with the Study Along) and also doing some work on the anthology workshop next July. Less than ten spots open for that. Filling quickly. Write me for information. Still don’t have an exact week but we hope by the first of February. It will be in July.…

A Second Shared World Class
SHARED WORLDS: Part One and Now Part Two What Are Shared Worlds, How to Do Them, and Why? Part Two… More Information and Advanced! For years now, Kris and I have tried to figure out how to teach shared worlds as a topic to writers to get the most benefit for writers. Both of us have written in so many shared worlds, we couldn’t begin to count. From the major shared worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars, to the more subtle shared worlds of say the WMG Holiday Spectacular. And everything in between. There are thousands of reasons indie writers and publishers would want to set up one form…

Creative Survival… New 52 Week Class
Kris and I Are Really Excited About the New Class…. Same format at Bite-Sized Copyright and The Decade Ahead classes. 4 videos every Monday. Basically what we were doing with Bite-Sized Copyright and The Decade Ahead classes were helping writers with creative survival. And we both loved those two classes and one day over lunch I asked Kris what she thought would be a possible way to continue them. She pointed out that one had been organized on copyright, which all writers need to survive and make money, and the other had been focused on just surviving ten years out. And that we had left out a ton of stuff…

Targeted Sale to Get Ready for 2024!
Just Trying To Help… At WMG Publishing, we now only do workshop sales when we start a new Shopify store. But now that we have four Shopify stores, we have no set time in 2024 to start a new one. Going to let the first stores just build. So no workshop sale. But we got talking and we figured that for a few targeted classes to help writers through 2024, we could do a targeted sale. This is not for all the Teachable classes, just a few targeted things. We have never done this before, but if we figure it helps a few writers going into the new year, it…

In Person Workshops! And Cat Picture!
Two Vegas Workshops Scheduled At the Moment! The craft class for Science Fiction Mystery in January and then the Anthology Workshop in July. The craft class is taught by Kris and is fun and difficult at the same time. The craft class has a Study Along on Teachable and if you are going to join it, do it soon because it has a reading list. And if you want to come to Las Vegas for the craft class, there is one spot open and still time to jump in. Write me for details if interested. The Anthology Workshop is in July at Resorts World (you never go outside). Exact dates…
