    Only Three Days Left!!

    On Two Things… The Special Letter Offer I sent through Teachable and also THE NEW DIVING NOVEL Kickstarter Campaign.

Very different and both would really improve you sf writing a lot.…

    Diving Universe Kickstarter Doing Well!

    Launched at Noon on Tuesday… So as I write this, it is less than two days and it is about to hit the second stretch goal and trigger the new series of workshops that will be on Teachable. To say that Kris and I are excited to teach some basic concepts and tropes of science fiction with the help of Rocket-Fuel Rachel and Space-Cowboy Pete would be an understatement. That is going to be so much fun. And got a hunch those two will be around in different genres and in different forms in different classes. So back the Kickstarter, get Kris’s wonderful new Diving Novel called COURT MARTIAL OF…

    Finally Able To Do It Again… After two months of not being able to list Kickstarters from the writers on Kickstarter Best Practices free class because of my eye issues, I was able to do so tonight.

Those of you thinking about doing a Kickstarter campaign, give me a chance to look at it ahead of time to help you fund. Just email me the preview link and I’ll be glad to take a look. And yes, I listed my own campaign as well. A Make…

    Last Day for Fey Kickstarter

    Counting Down the Hours… Ends at 7 PM West Coast Time!! Brand New Fey Novel Kickstarter Campaign. Amazing books, amazing workshops, and everyone gets the first Fey novel in 22 years, THE KIRILLI MATTER. We just hit the 7th stretch goal and climbing, which means that all backers not only get seven more stories by Kris, but writers get six months of Motivational classes. And I think it is possible to another stretch goal before this is over if we can all pass the word. Again, ends at 7pm Thursday West Coast Time. This is the last hours. At that point the special workshops go away. And you will have…
