    Mentor Openings (Not Part of Sale)

    I Am Missing The Interchange… Back in 2019, I opened up what we called a mentorship where I answered questions on anything that person wanted in writing and business of publishing. I took seven mentees total in 2019 and early 2020. How it sets up is that I asked the person to report in to me every Sunday (or Monday) about what they were doing, progress or no progress. Writing or publishing done or not done. And plans for the coming week. I was sort of a check-point each week. If there were questions, I tried to answer them, or look at a cover, or a publishing idea or sales…

    Hidden Gems In the Workshop Sale

    So Many To Pick From… So with Kris’s help, I figured I would put a few up here that you can get for half price that are great, great deals. And hidden for the most part. SERIES INTERVIEWS… I interviewed Kris about ten of her series first stories or books. Trust me, more about writing, publishing, and writing series in these 40 videos than you can imagine. This is a stunning deal at full price, but at half price, it is amazing. BUY THREE… You can get 3 regular workshop credits, 3 pop-up credits, 3 classic workshop credits, or three lecture credits to use at any time into the future.…

    THE PAST CRIMES BUNDLE (My Introduction)

    It Came Together This Way The past often brings out the best in crime. In fact, for a vast majority of crime fiction (mystery), the crime has already happened in the past and solving what happened, or who did it, or why the crime happened is the fun of it all. I personally love past crimes of another category: cold cases. When the question of who done it or why in the normal crime stories doesn’t get answered in any satisfying way, the crime becomes a cold case. And the passing of time makes it harder and harder to solve that dormant case. Cold cases are my personal favorite past…

    More Workshop Curriculum

    More Workshops and Classes Sorted into Areas of Interest The many, many workshops and classes we have are amazing, and to be honest, I sometimes lose track of them, since I am the only one at WMG who keeps track of these. I often just get so excited about doing a new class I don’t do upkeep on older ones. Just my desire to keep learning. So broke this down into areas that might make sense to help each writer find what they need to help them move forward. Remember, this week there is a half-price sale going on for all of this. The code is: JulyRegularSale Just hit purchase…

    Workshop Curriculum 8/1/2022

    Updating in Parts… I have not updated the curriculum for all the workshops in a very long time. So I am going to do that here at the same time as I do it on the curriculum page. I figured that since there is a sale going on this week, this would be the time to do this. Remember (last two posts), the sale runs through Sunday late and to get anything on Teachable at half price, including lifetime subscriptions, just hit purchase of the class you want and then use the code: JulyRegularSale Starting off with craft courses in the regular and classic workshops. I will follow in the…

    Regular Monthly Workshop Sales

    Yes, We Changed Our Minds… Every month, for the last week of each month, we will be doing a half-price sale. The sale will always start on Sunday early and end the following Sunday very late. The sale is for everyone, and covers everything, including challenges, lifetime subscription, workshops, pop-ups, study-along classes, the new Quick Solutions class, and everything else. Everything on Teachable. Why are we changing out minds on this? We started the workshop sales to help writers through the pandemic. And that pandemic seemed to go on forever, as we all discovered. And now so many people are struggling on the other side. When we said we wouldn’t…

    The Great Pandemic Escape

    Amazing to Watch… For two years, almost all of us were stuck in place. We didn’t dare travel like the old days to see family or friends or just get away. But now, even though the pandemic isn’t really over, most feel safe enough to travel, especially those smart enough to be vaccinated and boosted. And these last three months for writers have been the time of great forgetting anyway, so for writers, April, May, June, and July have been brutal on writing goals and schedules. Far worse than normal. And I couldn’t figure out why it was so much worse, exactly, until Kris and I started noticing that our…

    What a Transition Day…

    Amazing Numbers of Things Ended and Started… First off, today was the last morning for the In-Person Romance/Spies class, and last night I put up the last videos for the Study Along part of that class. Really a fun one in my opinion and Kris and the gang here seemed to enjoy it as well. I had a quick dinner with them last night which was fun. And then today Kris gave me the assignment for the Add-On novella Romance/Spies Class. You had to take the In-Person or Study Along to take this one. Not a lot of videos, but Kris gave the assignment and she will read every novella…
