Gothic Craft Class…
May 5-8th in Las Vegas… In the WMG office in downtown Las Vegas. Starts in three weeks. Craft class taught by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. We have two openings in the In-Person class if interested.

(grin) Four days of videos plus two assignments to write stories. Those who are attending in person will be hooked up on an email list…

An Example of Two Brands
Author Brand and Project Brand… This Poker Boy Kickstarter campaign we hope to launch next week is really pulling together some clear images of how branding looks on the surface. I have an author brand that sort of got lost for a short time, but it back now very clearly. And projects it got lost on we will be rebranding very soon. Then Poker Boy now has a clear logo and covers that will be consistent over time with cards and fantasy women. So take a look at this image of some mugs we are offering in the campaign. My author brand, Poker Boy brand and logo, and the cover…

Value on Lifetime Everything Subscription…
Got An Observation That I Have To Respond To… Someone commented that if they bought a Lifetime Everything Subscription to our workshops on WMG Teachable, it would take years to make up for the costs in new workshops. I went, “Huh, that’s not right.” But I wasn’t sure, so I had to go figure it out to make sure. (grin) Here are the new classes and workshops we have added onto Teachable since January 1st of this year (2025). In essence under three months. ONLY THE NEW STUFF!! (Remember, the Lifetime Everything Subscription is for the 600 or so classes and workshops already there, plus everything going into the future.)…

Explaining the Class
LICENSING: HOW TO CREATE A BRAND The class is starting tomorrow. (Tuesday) It is a nine week class leading up to the Licensing Expo. It is on Teachable. So let me set a scene for you… You are at (name any place as a setting that you might run into someone with a connection to a license). For now just think major convention or the Licensing Expo, but it can happen anywhere and has to both me and Kris. A person who can license IP who is interested in finding new IP to license comes to learn you own IP. Here is how the conversation goes… Person: “So, what’s your…

I’m Laughing At Myself…
I Just Keep Thinking… That what has me totally fascinated and learning will also be interesting to other people. And I just keep thinking that knowing how to make a ton more money with your writing is a good thing. Nope, just not interesting to most writers. Seems that most writers are locked into the idea that what you make with sales is from Amazon. So because I was interested in laying it all out over nine weeks, I fired up a LICENSING — How to Build a Brand in the Nine Weeks Between Now and the Licensing Expo in late May. Starts Tuesday. Got a few Lifetime Everything Subscribers…

These two courses will only be offered through this campaign and nowhere else, so don’t miss them. Check it out here… — #1… HOW TO REVIVE AN OLDER BOOK OR STORY… This is a special three-week workshop on how to revive an older book or story (without rewriting it).

Kris Post On Facebook…
From Her Perspective on the Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon… As anything Kris does, really clearly written and fun to read, even if I was one of those stragglers managing to get to food. The real challenge of that run wasn’t the 13 miles because that was all in the middle of the street. The real challenge was going that far and then having to go another three miles through and around and up stairs and down stairs in and out of six or seven casinos and hotels. (First time I ever set foot in the Waldorf…) I kept being short with Kris every time she called me because I…
