    WMG Holiday Spectacular 2023 Kickstarter

    Kris and I Worked on Workshops Today… Actually, we ended up spending a lot of time on them, with Allyson on the phone as well. And during that call Steph got in the sample blankets and a mug and the coasters. Oh, my, are they nifty. (All offered on the campaign.) Kris wanted to make sure that we were getting the workshops in the best shape we could so the writers will write great stories for the Holiday Spectacular next year. We are offering THREE special three-week workshops this year. And each will have a third week short story assignment that Kris will read as a possible for the 2024…

    Wow!! What a Store!!

    WMG Publishing Started a New Diving Universe Store And right now it is having a grand opening sale.  Go to www.divingintothewreck.com and browse around. Imagine the store without all the Grand Opening sales stuff. And imagine something like it as your own author web site. Yes, Shopify can do all kinds of looks and blogs and anything a regular web site can do and so much more.  I loved the Pulphouse Shopify Store and our main WMG Books store we call “the mothership.” But when I saw how Stephanie Writt had built this store, the first thing I thought of was an author web site. It would be one of…
