Days Off For Kris’s Birthday
We Had Fun… Saturday is Kris’s birthday, but we started early today (Friday) by me picking up a nifty cake that she can eat that I had done special for her, then we headed out to a Derek Hough show she wanted to see. I like him, but never knew that much about him. All I can say about the show is “Wow!” Very high energy, fantastic dancing, great music. Great fun. Worth seeing if you are in Vegas. So we came home, had some cake, and watched a few shows. Tomorrow (on her birthday) we are seeing Katy Perry, which promises to also be fun. (Have I said lately…

Visions of the Future StoryBundle
Great Books and Reading in This Bundle! I curated a new Storybundle called VISIONS OF THE FUTURE. Some really, really fantastic science fiction from a lot of writers. Since I sort of buried this the first time under talking about a ton of steps I did, here is my initial blog about the Storybundle. I am very excited about this one. Great writers, great stories. VISIONS OF THE FUTURE BLOG… I knew, without a doubt, I was going to really enjoy putting Visions of the Future together as a StoryBundle. I just love science fiction of all types, and any form of looking into the future, seeing visions of the future, is…

Licensing Videos
New Videos Are Up… In both the Master Business Class and in the Licensing Transition class. Basically, in a nutshell, the videos that Kris and I came up with as early details from the Licensing Expo are this: — Future looking — Brand, not just branding of covers, but start thinking of your work and series in terms of a brand or brands. — Learn copyright (this one most of you will ignore and it will bite you later.) — You must attend the Expo at least once to understand this part of the business. — Everything is image focused, so you must start slowly controlling the art for your…

The Path Into Licensing… A Second Post
Much To Learn… But not impossible amounts. First, you start by learning copyright and licensing. For example, I assume everyone reading this knows that when you create a work in a form, you give birth to a copyright on that work. Automatically. (There are reasons to register, but a topic for another time.) That copyright is called an IP (Intellectual Property). It is a property and it does have value. Some of you realize that when you put a book on Amazon to get out to readers electronically, you are licensing that story to Amazon, and in return, they license it to customers. The license agreement is the terms of…

Licensing Expo First Notes
Better Than I Had Expected… The size of the Expo was down from 2019, which was no surprise. Takes the larger companies months to plan an exhibit, and months before this, such as last fall and January, we were still in uncertainty as to events coming off the pandemic. But yet a lot of them still made it, in one form or another, a lot of mid-range and smaller companies as well. So 250 booths this year, where in 2019 there were around 400. But still amazing. WMG Publishing had me, Kris, and Allyson at the show. We did not have a booth and now never will. We figured out…

Licensing Expo Is Over…
Exhausted… Over the next few days here I will do some reports about what happened, once my mind slowly returns. And this coming week I will do videos for updates to not only the Master Business Class, but Licensing classes. I can say this right now, I learned a ton. Also helped the future of WMG Publishing a lot, talked with a large number of people, and had a lot of fun. I can not begin to tell you how amazing it was to be with eleven thousand others attending, plus the thousands in all the booths, who were all positive and looking toward the future and making deals for…

Only 12 Hours Left…
Ends At 5PM Friday West Coast Time… The Kristine Kathryn Rusch STARTER KIT Kickstarter Campaign has hit 9 Stretch Rewards, so just for those everyone gets 9 more books and stories of Kris’s, plus eight of the Interview Classes where I interview Kris about one of her series. Those will be fun for both writers and readers. And they are worth $400. So not much I can say. Ten books or stories in the STARTER KIT that are books or stories that start ten of Kris’s different series. Great workshops that will never be offered again in twelve hours. And eight free interview classes plus nine more books. This was…
