Last Day for Collections Kickstarter!

Ends at 7PM West Coast Time…

A really short campaign, but one that has me excited to finally get so many of my short stories out. In this campaign I will get 15 different original 10-1story science fiction collections into the world. So much fun.

A Special Challenge!!

We were at 78 backers early this morning. Now we are at 86 backers. If we can hit 100 backers by the end, every backer will get all five stretch goal collections in electronic editions. Another thirty short science fiction stories on top of what backers are already getting.

But I need your help to pass the word and get to that 100 backers in these last 20 hours. Again, this ends on Thursday at 7 pm West Coast time.

SPECIAL WORKSHOPS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!

These two classes are going to be so much fun. Here is the information about both, but remember they will never be available anywhere else after two days. And if you take one or both you get at least six of my original story collections, maybe more if we can hit this special backer challenge.

Workshop #1… 50 SCIENCE FICTION PROMPTS

In three weeks, we will give you fifty prompts and how to get started writing from each prompt. Ideas in science fiction are easy. Coming up with story prompts to get started and boil down the idea is the difficult part.

THIS IS A CRAFT WORKSHOP on writing science fiction in all of its many forms. How to start, where to focus, and the characters. This will be so much fun and for those of you who even think about writing science fiction, you will never fear starting a story again.

Workshop #2…. HOW TO USE “WHAT IF THIS GOES ON?” TO WRITE SCIENCE FICTION SHORT STORIES

Novels in science fiction allow you to explain so much, from world building to structure to conflicts and the science. But in science fiction short stories, you don’t have the word count to do all of that.

So how do you write science fiction short stories that have all the elements that readers need? What do you need to put in, take out, and ignore? There are techniques we can teach you on all of this.

But the main aspect of writing great science fiction is taking something today and asking the simple question: “What if this goes on?” Science fiction writers have been asking this question since the very beginning of the genre one hundred years ago. So how do you use that question to write great science fiction short stories?

This will be an intense craft workshop and will save you years of writing science fiction stories that no one reads.
