    Anthology Workshop Dates Set…

    August 5th through 8th… We thought it would be the middle of July, but typical Las Vegas, too much stuff going on and too expensive. So we have a great room rate and conference room and night meeting room starting on Monday, August 5th and going through noon on Thursday, August 8th. Resorts World. Las Vegas. Going to be so much fun and so much learning. Loren Coleman and I were talking just today about a special Kickstarter anthology session just to give writers a nifty way to make money with friends. One of many fun ides that we could not do back in 2020. I wrote everyone signed up…

    Anthology Workshop Is Back!!!

    After Three Years… Before my big crash and burn and surgery, we had planned to announce on November 1 that we were starting up the Anthology Workshop again. We wanted to give everyone time to make plans. The sales copy is below. I wrote some of it before the crash and burn, but Allyson Longueira at WMG finished it, and Stephanie Writt did the cool flyer. If you want to sign up, here is how you do it…. If you have attended an in-person workshop before, simply send the $900 fee to PayPal using this address: dean@wmgpublishingstore.com Then email me that you have done so.  I will let you know…

    ANTHOLOGY WORKSHOP PUSHED BACK ONE YEAR

    No Surprise to Anyone… We have officially pushed back the anthology workshop from Feb 2021 to February 28th through March 3rd, 2022. The writing for the anthology workshop always starts in November. We did not feel that it would be safe yet for anyone to really travel in seven months from now. So we’re giving it another year with the hope that things can be under control by early 2022. We did add in a bonus for those signed up and paid and who are holding over the year to 2022. Kris will need the Holiday Spectacular stories again, so anyone signed up and paid will be invited by Kris…

    Anthology Workshop

    Decision Time for 2021… A week from Friday the 2020 Anthology workshop will be starting here in Las Vegas. The writers have been writing since the last week of November and now all of us are reading like crazy. The writers wrote for seven paying anthologies and one brand new major magazine. Plus I am always looking to buy for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine during this anthology workshop. But this workshop loses WMG money and we have been talking about cancelling the Anthology workshop for next year (2021), first to save the money and second to allow Fiction River to get caught up. Actually, this year there is only one Fiction…

    Nifty Blogs

    Anthology Workshop Stuff… Since next year’s anthology workshop sign-ups are filling fast at the moment, as they always do after we finish one, I thought I would share two blogs about the workshop for those curious or thinking about signing up. Both are from writers who attended this year. Tami Veldura and Ron Collins. Tami’s blog is about attending this year. Ron’s is about being an editor at the workshop last year. (And he and Brigid are coming back for the next one to edit.) Once more, the email group for next year’s workshop will start in five months and the writing will start in late November. So this is…
