Some Updates
A Bunch of Stuff… First off, my eyes are still recovering, so I am slow to answer some email and read stories. Please pardon me. Not straining my poor one remaining eye at the moment for anything. (grin) Second… The last workshop sale is going on right now. Ends on Sunday, and yes, look back a few posts and I explain why this is the last workshop sale, forever. To get anything on WMG Teachable, simply find the course and the hit purchase and then on the next page put in the code: TheLastSale And hit apply and you should get the class for 50% off. It includes everything you…

The Last Sale…
Ever…. And we will not change our minds. This is it. This week. Why the about face on sales??? We said in June we would do a regular sale the last full week of each month up until the end of the year. Well, total failure. What is success to us? Having writers take the workshops or classes to keep learning. What the regular sales did from June until now basically caused the writers who are taking workshops and learning to be cut more than in half. So the sales don’t help more writers take classes, they instead cut the number of people taking classes and learning. And that is…

WMG Holiday Spectacular 2022
Kickstarter Campaign… Funded in less than an hour and hit the first stretch goal in less than 12 hours. Wow!! And this one we are doing 16 days instead of 9 days. So with luck, we’ll finally get the fun holiday calendar of stories to a place we have been hoping it would get to for the last three years. 39 stories this year, one delivered every day from Thanksgiving (November 24th through January 1st. Over thirty professional writers wrote for it. Hugo Award winning editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch did all the editing. Talk about fun. And two special workshops on the topics of two of the anthologies Kris will…

Great Ideas For Advanced Classes
Thank you, Everyone!! For the ideas here in the comments and to me directly through email. Fun Stuff. So let me break down some of the suggestions and combine them into advanced classes. Structure for this Advanced Series would be nine weeks long, with assignments along the way. Price would be $500 (same as the 9-week long collection classes). If we decide to do this, we would offer 6 of them in a year. You can buy all six at some point. They are not part of the regular workshops and would not be available for at least a year on any sales, just as the Business Master Class was…

Advanced Classes
Need Some Opinions and Feedback… Kris and I have been talking over different structures and foundations for some advanced classes. And we want to do the classes so that not only early stage writers can get a lot out of them, but more advanced writers. And we want to do the type of class you can come back to over the years to get even more out of it. The classes would be two or three months long, very detailed and complete. Not part of the regular workshops in any way. We have ideas of what to do, but I thought tonight I would just toss it open to anyone…

In-Person Workshops
Leaving Price at $750… We had planned for a while to make the In-Person workshops $1,000 so we could find better location. But now that we have found the Resorts World, the cost is not that much more for WMG if everyone stays at the hotel. So for the moment, we are going to leave it at $750. (Again, through the workshop the room rate is $75 plus real resort fees.) You can see the full list and dates of the next seven in-person workshops here https://wmgworkshops.com/in-person/ Only two spots left in January FANTASY CAPER. The spots are getting tight for the May ROMANTIC SUSPENSE and the July FANTASY THRILLER.…

New In-Person Workshops Location
RESORTS WORLD in Las Vegas… Yes, for future in-person workshops, we have moved to Resorts World. This is three major hotels in one place with a massive convention area. Brand new, with a ton restaurants on site, plus a ton of others close by. Room rates through our workshop codes is $75 a night plus resort fees. THAT IS CHEAPER than the Golden Nugget was three years ago. And the rooms are all brand new and it is quiet!! And since these are writing workshops, there is about a billion places to sit and write not counting your room. The first workshop to be held there is the FANTASY CAPER…

All the October workshops just started yesterday and today, so nothing missed if you sign up now. All are six weeks long and have five assignments you send me. Any questions on any of them, just write me. You can find them all on WMG Teachable. Here is the list and…
