More Copyright Valuation
Main Way of Valuing Fiction… If you haven’t read the previous posts on this topic, might want to go back and do so. Or read them again. And if you don’t understand copyright, much of this will just go past you I’m afraid. So I mentioned one way of valuing copyright. I called it the “Cost Method” because you just add up all the costs of producing the book and that is the value. That method flat doesn’t work past putting a value on covers and a few other design elements. But it is the easy one to understand for most. Now to be clear right here… I am not…

Writing Classes
Here Are The Pop-Up Classes… Kris and I have been working on a bunch of Pop-Up classes the last few days. We are first getting out the four stretch reward Pop-Up classes from the Pulphouse Kickstarter and at the same time I am working on the stretch reward Pulphouse anthologies. We promised them all this spring and the Pop-Ups will be ahead of that. Anthologies will be one per month. Here are the four that will go live on Teachable to buy and the backers of the Pulphouse Kickstarter will be sent codes for in the next few weeks. Pop-Up #80… Turning Big Ideas into a Short Story Pop-Up #81……

3 Days Left!!!
In the FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter Campaign… And it is doing great, which means all backers of any reward (starting at the first one of $30) get lots of great extra stuff. And three days is a lot of time in Kickstarter land (Think the last five minutes of a football game.) So we can hit some more stretch rewards and get all backers even more. So help us pass the word. You can find it at FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter Campaign. Here is what all backers get extra (besides the award they backed) so far. All five FANTASIES COLLIDE collections in electronic format. ($30 Value) Seven fantasy novels or anthologies in…

Study Along and Updates
Just Finished Last Stories… And I posted a video on the study along talking about the 3rd assignments. I know the class technically ended Thursday, but took me that long to finish reading the few stories. Also I will get back to slowly reading from the classes I am behind on. With the level of the eye at this point, I can only do a few a day, but that is a ton better than a month ago. So I will make my way through them all. Honest. (grin) Also trying to ramp up on the distance in exercise. Running much at all has been tough because of the eye…

Reminder of Stretch Challenge
This From Last Night… UPDATE… SATURDAY AFTERNOON… Special Stretch Goal has been hit. Thank you, everyone. Now more fun stuff for all backers. Because it’s Friday night and my brain is too scrambled to finish the copyright valuation blog. So figured I would remind you about the challenge on FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter. I have put updates in all caps and italics. The FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter is doing great at the moment. With 7 days left, we have 155 backers. (ACTUALLY AFTER ONE DAY OF THIS CHALLENGE WE HAVE 167 BACKERS!) So we thought it would be fun that if we could reach 175 backers by Sunday at midnight, West Coast…

Fun Addition to FANTASIES COLLIDE!!
Really Fun New Stretch Goal!! And a challenge…. The FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter is doing great at the moment. With 7 days left, we have 155 backers. (Thank you all!) So we thought it would be fun that if we could reach 175 backers by Sunday at midnight, West Coast time, we would add in another stretch goal. We are calling it a SPECIAL STRETCH GOAL and if we hit the number of 175 backers by the deadline, we will include it for all backers of any reward. What is this SPECIAL STRETCH GOAL? If this campaign reaches 175 Backers by Sunday at midnight, every backer of any reward will get…

Kickstarter Best Practices
Finally Able To Do It Again… After two months of not being able to list Kickstarters from the writers on Kickstarter Best Practices free class because of my eye issues, I was able to do so tonight. Sorry about missing those of you who did campaigns in the last two months. Just not able to do it with the eye issues. Those of you thinking about doing a Kickstarter campaign, give me a chance to look at it ahead of time to help you fund. Just email me the preview link and I’ll be glad to take a look. And yes, I listed my own campaign as well. A Make…

FANTASIES COLLIDE KICKSTARTER…
…DOING GREAT!! A Make 100 Kickstarter Project just like we did the last two years. 50 stories of mine, 50 stories of Kris’s in a massive five-volume set called FANTASIES COLLIDE. Two really cool special workshops that Kris will be reading the stories from since I am behind and still injured. And some fantastic reading, including copies of the last two years of these massive collections, COLLIDING WORLDS and CRIMES COLLIDE. Science fiction short stories, mystery short stories, and now this year fantasy. Take a look at it at FANTASIES COLLIDE. We are almost to another stretch goal, but so far we have given four more books to any backer…
