    Two Days Left

    Set Another Stretch Goal! We are almost to our 5th stretch goal, so with two days left, we wanted to set another stretch goal, one that seems a little out of reach, but still possible. So the 6th stretch goal has a Pop-Up Bundle for writers (worth $600) and a nifty anthology for readers. Cattitude. I really hope we hit it because I would love to have everyone get a free copy of this anthology. Cover below. And thanks for all the wonderful support. Help us pass the word for the last two days. Thanks!

    Kickstarter Workshops

    Some Great Deals On Kickstarter… Yes, we have put some great offers as Kickstarter rewards for workshops and lectures and things to do with writers learning craft and business. But I wanted to be clear here for a moment because of three questions over the last two days. The workshops on Kickstarter are basically credits toward anything on Teachable (including lifetime subscriptions) or toward the fees for Las Vegas Workshops. Let me run down the workshop and lecture rewards and show you exactly what I mean. — $40 pledge toward a lecture is basically a $50 credit. — $100 Writer’s Special not only includes the books and the chance to…

    Almost to Another Stretch Goal

    The Diving Universe Kickstarter Going Fantastic… Kris has a new Diving novel coming out this fall. It is huge, meaning 260,000 words.

    That Went Well!

    Diving Kickstarter Got a Fast Start… Understatement there. It funded in about twenty hours and is well on its way to the first stretch goal. And almost every reward taken so far is about the books, which is even cooler. I love the Diving Universe and I know a bunch of fans do as well, and it has sold many millions of copies around the world since it started, but still it is wonderful to see this take off like that. Kris has a new Diving novel coming out this fall. It is huge. And she wanted to get it to her fans ahead of time, so that is her…
