Front List and Back List
Talked About This Before… But yesterday I got this newsletter that comes out monthly focused about 95% on traditional publishing. And let me tell you, folks, from the sounds of things in traditional publishing, everything is just doing great. (Note I said from the sounds of things.) They are using all kinds of hinky percentage increases that are statistically bogus and mean nothing. And, of course, the real reasons the balance sheets are standing strong under observation of public traded corporations are the IP valuations and depreciation of those IP assets. Book sales are not holding these companies up, let alone the companies vast expenses in New York property, or…

WORKSHOP SALE EXTENDED!!!
Workshops Half Price Until Sunday Evening… This is my fault and I hope it helps some of you. I have three workshops I had intended to move to Classic status before the sale ended, but since it was going to end today, and I wasn’t going to get to moving the workshops to classic until late today, three or four people asked and I just moved the end of the sale back until Sunday evening. The three formally regular workshops that will be classic workshops are Attitude, Secrets, and Publishing 101. So watch for those tomorrow afternoon or evening and grab them for half off. To get anything on WMG…

Special Workshops
Two Special Workshop Codes Are Out… Might be the fastest turn of special workshops since the Kickstarter just ended a little over a week ago. But they are all out. So those of you who signed up through the Kickstarter campaign (the only way), you should have the links and codes to get into them. They start today (Tuesday) or May 3rd. Check your spam filters since there are links in the email and that will often drive an email to a spam filter. If you still did not get it, write me and Josh and I will figure out what went wrong. POP-UP free World Building classes from the…

Yes, I Am Now the Editor of Writers of the Future…
You Heard That Right… Jody Lynn Nye is the coordinating judge, so she and Kary English will work together to get the top manuscripts to all the judges each quarter. After all the judging is done, the manuscripts will go into Writers of the Future and the names will be put back on them and I will get to work with the authors and put the book together and so on. The folks at Galaxy Press and Author Services are maybe the nicest, friendliest, and most hard-working people I have ever had the pleasure to know. And working with them will be a fantastic pleasure. As I said, I was…

At Writers of the Future
Tomorrow I Put On a Tux… That will be a stunner. And I will have some news when I get home on Saturday. If you follow the live stream of the awards show, you will hear the news. But it will be fun. The group of writers this year is amazing and hungry and actually staying up late to listen and talk and learn. Had a great dinner tonight with Larry Elmore, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and others. Way too much great food. Year #38 tomorrow ends. I was the very first winner across the stage 38 years ago. Just amazing how time flies. So tomorrow a Tux once again. Pictures…
