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…

Two New Workshops and Sale!
A Summer Holiday Sale… I am putting up the July workshops, as well as a few others, and June workshops start on the 7th, so we figured we would give everyone a chance to get a workshop they want for the summer at half price. So the half-price sale will go from today, May 29th until Thursday June 9th. The code to get anything on WMG Teachable at half price is: SummerHoliday Two new regular workshops will be starting in July (They will be added to the Lifetime Workshops in a day or so when they are launched.) The two new workshops are MEDIA KIT WORKSHOP… A six week workshop…

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…

36 Hours Left!!
Only About 36 Hours Left…. Before the Kristine Kathryn Rusch Starter Kit Kickstarter Campaign ends. If you miss it, you will miss these two special workshops!! — WRITING IN MANY GENRES Special Workshop!! NOT OFFERED ANYWHERE ELSE Writing in many genres has numbers of problems and a lot of advantages to writers in this modern world. Kris and I have put together this three-week class to help you understand what makes successful series across different genres, including how to write it and how to market it and brand it. This is not so much on how to write cross-genre stories, but how to write in different genres from story to story and help your…

18,000 Steps Plus
As I expected, a lot of milage walking the Licensing Expo. Got there right after nine when it opened, spent three hours walking and talking with people, then lunch, then back for three more hours, then a nap in the WMG suite, then dinner, then back to the suite to talk with writers and artists until 10:30. Hope to do workshops assignments and then this blog. I will get into more detail when my mind returns in a few days, but planning the same day tomorrow exactly. Wow, am I learning a lot. Just wow. KICKSTARTER LESS THAN THREE DAYS LEFT!!! Go to Kristine Kathryn Rusch STARTER KIT and check…

Tomorrow It Starts…
Licensing Expo… Although about ten of us got to the WMG Suite tonight and sat around and talked, which was fun. Last post that Kris put up on my blog because Allyson and I couldn’t get to it from the suite was the room number. Suite in the East Tower, 21st floor. But you can’t get to it without a key letting you up the elevator and only four keys. So every thirty minutes, starting at 8 pm, someone will be at the bottom of the elevator to take you up. Vaccinated required. I will report tomorrow on the Expo. THREE DAYS LEFT ON THE KICKSTARTER!!! You don’t want to…

Time Is Flashing Past for the Kickstarter… Amazing there is only four days left. And we are about to hit the 5th Stretch Goal, so backers not only get the 10-Book starter kit, but also more books and four of the new Interview Classes where I spend a number of videos in each class talking with Kris about her series, the origin, the problems, the fun, the characters, and the writing. Those should be great fun!! Check out the campaign at Kristine Kathryn Rusch STARTER KIT. Also remember that in four days, the two workshops, CREATING LARGER THAN LIFE CHARACTERS and WRITING IN NUMBERS OF GENRES will both no longer…

Getting Things Cleaned Up
Licensing Next Week… So got to get a lot of things done ahead of time this weekend. That includes getting Smith’s Monthly #61 laid out and back to WMG so they can fire it out. And recording what I need to record for the week. Tomorrow (Saturday) I will post some recordings in the Master Business Class on the how and the why of the Licensing Expo and details about the WMG Suite. So watch for that later tomorrow. And I did a bunch of business stuff today to get it all out of the way as well. Allyson will be here Sunday, which is the first time in 2.5…
