    2020 Master Business Class… Last One…

    Last Master Business Class… That’s right, the 2020 Master Business Class will be the last one. So it will fill quickly. You can see the 2019 Master Business Class information and the dates for the 2020 Master Business Class at www.wmgworkshops.com The one we just finished was fantastic, and we know next year will be as well, with a focus on even more licensing and audio advances and a ton more stuff that is cool and cutting edge for writers. (I took over thirty pages of notes this year.) We will announce guest instructors for 2020 as we get them, but for the moment take a look at the web…

    Misc. Stuff To Talk About and Pictures

    Paypal Off on Some Workshops… Teachable is working on the problem, so if you would like to pay for a workshop through Paypal and the Paypal option does not appear, just go directly to Paypal and then send the payment to the following email address:  LasVegasWorkshops@wmgbooks.com Then write me and let me know which workshop you sent the money for and I will send you a code to get into it. You can do exactly the same thing if you want to support the WMG Holiday Spectacular, but don’t want to go through Kickstarter. It will count and you will get all the stretch rewards and everything.

    November and December Regular Workshops

    Only Six Regular Workshops Per Month… As I said, a lot of workshops are headed to Classic Status in the first of November, and with teaching the How to Write a Pulphouse Story and How to Write a Holiday Story workshops in the next two months, we decided to not add in any more new regular workshops in the next two months. But there will be new regular workshops after the first of the year. And you can still sign up on the How to Write a Holiday Story for seven more days on Kickstarter through the WMG Holiday Spectacular. That is the only place that workshop is offered. It…

    Great Rewards In New Kickstarter

    Been Sending Out Codes for Workshops All Day… And it dawned on me that many of the people I was sending codes for lectures and workshops from the Pulphouse Kickstarter didn’t know there was a new Kickstarter from WMG starting up. And it has great workshop and lecture rewards as well. The WMG Holiday Spectacular is going to be a calendar of stories for 35 straight days. That’s right, in your mailbox you get a new holiday story from Thanksgiving until January 1st. But we had to do the Kickstarter here in Oct0ber to make sure we got through everything and had time to get everyone on board before the…

    Romance Workshop Going On Here Now

    And I Am Recording Kris’s Lectures for the Study Along… I realized tonight how really good these Study Along workshops are. Kris does a ton of videos about books on her reading list, then assigns stories, and I record her lectures from my point of view on a topic. And if you are taking the Study Along, you can turn in a story by the deadline and I will read it. First assignment of the Romance Workshop Study Along I ended up with 12 stories I will be reading over the next day or so. And just tonight I gave out story assignment #2. And the best deal is the…

    Business Structure Pop-Up

    We Planned on Doing This… But just moved it up after the reaction to my post. This is about the structure of a writing business. It is not legal or accounting advise, but an awareness of what is possible with a writing business. Basically I tell you how Kris and I are doing many business things, or have done a lot of business methods in the past and why. Again, not legal advice, but I do talk a great deal about corporations and why to use them and how to license to them and take money out of them. So Pop-Up #16: Business Structure is available now on Teachable. It…
