Visions of the Future
A Storybundle… I grew up reading science fiction way back in the 1950s. And from those early years, I loved it, how it showed me possible futures, places to escape to, wonderful visions, and dark possibilities. Science fiction took me out of a bad childhood and let me escape, not only from my home, but from this planet. And then, when I was in high school and college, Original Star Trek, in its first run, allowed me to escape into a wonderful future of hope and dreams, where the good guys won. To say I loved science fiction would be a gigantic understatement. And for the last six decades, I…

Collaboration Spots
Still Four Spots Open in the Collaboration Class… I told another professional writer about this today, told him I thought I was nuts to try it. His response was, “I think it would be grand fun.” So do I, actually. A four week class on all the different methods of collaboration, then collaborating with 15 writers on a short story sometime over the summer. And remember, if you just want to take the workshop, you can sign up for it and write me that you want just the workshop part, not the collaboration part. No problem at all. But got four spots open for the collaboration part still. Sign up…

Collaboration Special Class
You Want To Collaborate With Me?… I get questions all the times about what is needed to collaborate with another writer on a story. And how to do it. There are as many ways to collaborate on a story as there are writers, but the methods tend to break down into four major ways and working methods. And I have used all four of the major methods in the almost 100 collaborations I have done over the decades. And so has Kris, and for the first time, we’re going to detail out those methods in this four week special workshop. And in this workshop we will give the first fifteen writers to sign up (and…

Last Week of Mentorship…
After That I Will Not Offer It Again… I figured last fall I could take two more writers to work with, and that still stands. But I am going to cut off that offer after the Year of the Cat Kickstarter is finished. (Update: Only one left.) I am basically a cheerleader, a person to run ideas by, a person who will help you stay on track with your goals as the years go by. And I won’t go away after one year. You can sign up through the Kickstarter, or if you want to just go direct with either Paypal or credit card to WMG Publishing, just contact me.…
