Workshop Credit Sale
I Was Reminded… Because of one of my posts, a couple people reminded me that often this time of the year, before Christmas, we offer online regular workshops at the same rate we offer them in the Fiction River Kickstarter. But only for a short time. I looked back and we have done this three years in a row now, so thanks, folks for the reminder. We’re going to do it for the 4th year starting today. So here is how it works. — Any regular workshop credit can be bought for $250. (Regularly $300) for the next week. (7 days, ending on November 19th) –You can buy as many…

Anthology Workshop
Write Six Stories, Then Possibly Sell Them… I am sort of surprised, in an odd way, that for the first time in years, the anthology workshop is not full at this point. We have five spots left open and the sign-ups end on November 24th because the writing starts on the 25th. Of course, almost all the northwest people are no longer coming. For years they had it easy. But for everyone else, Vegas is cheaper to get to than the coast and a ton easier in March. Let me change that metaphor. Light years easier. This might be the best workshop we do. But also the most frightening because…

2019 Anthology Workshop and 2019 Master Business Class
Both Have Openings… Over the next few days I will be starting the 2019 Anthology Workshop group list. And sending out hotel information and first story information. Now granted, the workshop doesn’t happen until March 1st through 5th in Las Vegas. But there is three weeks of writing three stories at the end of November and early December, then time off for the holidays, then three more weeks of writing in January. Then a lot of reading. So really the workshop starts at the end of November. So time is almost up. That’s right, for the anthology workshop you will write six short stories to specific guidelines for real markets.…

Great Discussions
As Is Normal… These major workshops always have great discussions. Impossible not to when you put fifty or so professional writers in the same room and late at night in a big suite and talk writing all day and night. This Master Business Class is about over, sadly. I have enjoyed the talks and focus on the business of writing. Maybe more this year than over the last few years, actually. And that is going some. I will talk about it more here over the next few days as I get caught up. Some fun stuff. Stay tuned. And anyone interested in signing up for next year’s Master Business Class…

Some Challenge and Lifetime Questions Answered
Lifetime Subscriptions and the Challenges… I got some more questions I thought were good ones about the lifetime subscriptions, so here on a Saturday night I figured I would quickly answer them to hit my streak of daily blogs. (grin) And remind you about the short story and novel challenge starting in September. First, to the Lifetime Subscription Questions… In the regular lifetime subscription, you get all regular workshops and classic workshops. There are a lot of them. In fact, if you paid for all the workshops in the subscription, it would cost over $13,000. Wow! No idea there were that many. The key is that you can take workshops…
