Very Impressed…
The Covers From the Covers 101 Workshop… The writers who managed to get through to the last assignment of the covers workshop produced some stunning book covers. The Covers 101 Workshop is a step-by-step process workshop in design and layout of covers. I just got done earlier tonight going through Assignment #5 in the Covers 101 workshop (first time it was offered) and basically all were professional covers that would sell books. I showed Kris a few and she just said, “Wow!” A couple writers, as expected, thought they could write sales copy for the back cover without training and failed, horribly, but this wasn’t a sales copy workshop, it…

Money and Kickstarter Workshops Starting
How To Make Money With Your Fiction Writing… Yup, that workshop starts on Wednesday this coming week. Should be a very interesting one, but don’t take it if you want to learn about advertising on places like Facebook and so on. That is not how to make money past a moment in time, maybe, if you are lucky. We’re not even hardly mentioning that. This workshop is how to make money over the long haul and build the income. If you first thought is that you know how to do that, you really need this workshop. If you first thought is you can’t imagine what we will talk about besides…

If I Owe You A Letter
In the Last Three Days, Hold On… I will get caught up today. No problem, I’m just taking some breaks and doing other things. Also about to do some videos in the Decade Ahead class and more cat videos. So next week check those out if you are in them. Again, the Decades Ahead will go through all of 2021 now. No chance in hell any of us can plan while swirling in this mess. The key with all this is just get your head down and keep writing. And make sure you vote. Horror and Historical-focused Science Fiction special workshops are starting on Tuesday. And Making Money with Your…

Special Workshop Invites All Out
All Invites Have Been Sent… So if you think you are signed up for one of the two special workshops and did not get a letter from me for the special Writing Obsession/Horror Stories workshop or the Writing Historical SF workshop, please check your spam filters. If the invite is still not there, then first contact the person who did the kickstarter to make sure they had you signed up and paid. If you are, then contact me. No one can join these special workshops. They were only offered through the Kickstarters. However, we do have one new regular six-week workshop starting in October you can get into. Making Money…

Last Day for Horror Workshop
Less Than 24 Hours Before You Miss the Chance… Kris and I are excited to be doing this special How to Write Horror (or Obsession or Dark Fantasy) Story workshop. But the only place you can sign up for this special three week workshop is through a Kickstarter campaign that is about to end. It is an Kickstarter campaign called Feed the Obsession by Mark Leslie that has just 24 hours left and is doing great. It hit it’s first stretch goal where everyone gets yet another major collection of stories. Kris and I both have stories in the book, as well as a lot of other professional writers. It…

Final Few Days…
To Jump Into a Brand New Workshop… There is an amazing Kickstarter campaign called Feed the Obsession by Mark Leslie that has just a few days left and is doing great. It hit it’s first stretch goal where everyone gets yet another major collection of stories. Kris and I both have stories in the book, as well as a lot of other professional writers. It is going to be an amazing book. So Kris and I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to do a special workshop to help the campaign out. A workshop we have been looking for a reason to do. It is a three-week…

A Few More Hours On The Half-Priced Sale
Leaving the Coupon Code Active until Wednesday Evening… Since yesterday was a holiday here in the States, and today it seems like half of the West Coast is either covered in smoke, worried about fire, out of power, or all three, Kris and I figured we would let the code stay active until Wednesday evening. That way everyone had a chance to get a workshop or class that they wanted. The code to get anything on WMG Publishing’s Teachable is: EndOfSummer Those of you in the Space Opera Workshop, I mentioned on Week #2 you should look at the four Pop-Ups. Well, the codes were going to go out today,…

Last Day of Half-Price Workshop Sale
Almost Over!!! The half-priced sale is at least. Tonight, late, is the last time the EndofSummer code will work (Tuesday Night.) I sure wish this pandemic, the reason we offer these sales, was also almost over. But sadly, at least here in the States, it is not. And here we just went through a major holiday weekend. Cover of our local paper today showed crowds of tourists on the strip, on the sidewalk, almost all without masks. The casinos enforce mask use in all areas and also social distancing. They are required to do so by the Gaming Commission and the Governor. And they don’t want to be shut down…
