    New Workshop Sale!!!

    The Half-Price Code is… IN-BETWEEN Yes, It Has Been Two More Months of Covid… As I said months ago, I honestly never would have predicted this last spring. Not in a million years. Not many did, and those who did warn us of this, none of us listened. We just couldn’t imagine being locked up for MORE THAN a year. But at least now we have some hope on the horizon with the vaccines going out and so many of us getting them. But we are a long ways out of this, with 600 to 700 dying still every day in just this country. Back when WMG Publishing did what…

    Updates On Some Classes

    Slowly Seeing The Light… Amazing how the pandemic just ground so much of all of us (and the world) down to a halt. At WMG Publishing last spring and through the summer, we spent all the time making sure we were solid. Some projects were put on hold, others cancelled, until by the time we got to late August, we felt pretty solid as a company and a business. But at that time we still had no idea at all where the world, business, and publishing in general was headed, what with the second wave at that time on the pandemic and the strange political craziness here in the States.…

    New Classes Available

    Three New Classes Today… More coming over the next four days. NEW SIX WEEK WORKSHOP ADDED IN MAY… This one is called: May STAGES OF A PUBLISHER. Talked about adding it a month or so back, finally got it starting in May. (And yes it has been added to the Lifetime Workshop Subscription.) This turned out to be an eye-opening workshop. I wouldn’t miss this one. Might make you a ton more money down the road. Maybe not so far down the road, actually. Also we started two new Pop-Up classes as many of you expected. #29 Pop-Up: EPIC FANTASY WORLD BUILDING #30 Pop-Up: CREATING BELIEVABLE EPIC FANTASY NAMES These…

    Master Business Class Officially Online

    To No One’s Surprise… The 2021 Master Business Class was to be held here in Las Vegas in October, but now has been moved online. And we will never have another Master Business class in person. The 2020 one was scheduled to be the last one, then because of Covid we moved the last one to October 2021. But folks, even with the miracle of the vaccines, October is still too early. And, of course, we have idiots out there who will not get vaccinated and Kris and I and WMG Publishing can’t force everyone attending to be vaccinated and prove it. And those of you jumping on planes can’t…

    Colliding Worlds Sent to Backers…

    All Six Books in Electronic Format… At the moment, only the backers on the Kickstarter Colliding Worlds project got them. The paper  and signed copies will take another month and it all will go on sale in the middle of April. I am really looking forward to seeing this set on my shelf. Kris and I are both really happy with how it turned out, to be honest. We each gave a new life to sixty of our short stories, ten each in each book. What a fun idea that was. I will let you all know when they are for sale to the general public. Amazing how many science…
