August Workshops Starting
First Half Started… Second half starts tomorrow night. And the two Special Workshops, Vastness of Space 2 and Writing Spaceships also both started. These are the last sessions of these two. So if you didn’t take them in July, this is the last chance. Almost no one signed up for August workshops this time around. Time of Great Forgetting mixed up with this pandemic mess. So no surprise to me. So if you do sign up, it might almost be private lessons. (grin) Another note. Stages of a Publisher will be gone after August. Last time to get it if interested. And this is the last time for Attitude as…

Rewards and Stretch Rewards…
For THE CHASE… … Heading out on Tuesday, so watch your email and your spam filters. Also, the two Pop-Ups that we scheduled for stretch rewards in THE CHASE Kickstarter campaign are now up live as well. If you supported the campaign, you will get both, of course. I personally think that Writing MacGuffins Pop-Up might help you make writing easier. Amazing how knowing about MacGuffins and what they are used for in all genres can really make writing a lot more fun and a ton easier in the plotting. So you might want to think about grabbing that one if you missed THE CHASE kickstarter campaign. Also if you missed…

LAST DAY OF THE LAST SALE
ALMOST DONE!!! Just so it is clear. This sale will end on today (Thursday) in the evening West Coast time. And that will be the last pandemic half-price sale. Hard to believe this is almost over. We started these last spring in a shut-down world as WMG’s way of trying to help writers stay in and stay safe and learning through the turmoil. We hoped after the first few we would end it, and every two months we did another because the pandemic was still strong. Now, for those who are able to get the vaccine, the pandemic fear is over and we are into recovery. The vaccine has turned…

Yes, 2020 Decade Ahead is Now 2022
Amazing What That Pandemic Did To So Much… I will get to changing out the introductions and the descriptions to reference 2022 in the Decade Ahead classes, but more than likely not while this sale is going on. But as I said last night, it will last all of 2022. So yes, to answer questions, signing up on The Decade Ahead 2020 classes gets you the 2022 classes and all that was done back in 2020 as well. I will be updating another class that got messed up. Shared Worlds. All the videos are there, of course, and Cave Creek is doing well and those three anthologies were wonderful. At…

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT…
On THE CHASE Kickstarter Campaign. THE CHASE is Kris’s new Diving novel that is done and ready to ship to the Kickstarter supporters in June. It actually won’t officially publish online and in stores until September, so if you want to read it soon, get on over to the Kickstarter campaign. THE CHASE: Kickstarter Campaign Also got two great special workshops in this one. We have the How to Write Spaceships three week special workshop, only available through the campaign, and Writing the Vastness of Space- Two, again only available through the campaign. The topic was so large, we decided to do another one. It is not a sequel to…

Updates On Some Classes
Slowly Seeing The Light… Amazing how the pandemic just ground so much of all of us (and the world) down to a halt. At WMG Publishing last spring and through the summer, we spent all the time making sure we were solid. Some projects were put on hold, others cancelled, until by the time we got to late August, we felt pretty solid as a company and a business. But at that time we still had no idea at all where the world, business, and publishing in general was headed, what with the second wave at that time on the pandemic and the strange political craziness here in the States.…

New Classes Available
Three New Classes Today… More coming over the next four days. NEW SIX WEEK WORKSHOP ADDED IN MAY… This one is called: May STAGES OF A PUBLISHER. Talked about adding it a month or so back, finally got it starting in May. (And yes it has been added to the Lifetime Workshop Subscription.) This turned out to be an eye-opening workshop. I wouldn’t miss this one. Might make you a ton more money down the road. Maybe not so far down the road, actually. Also we started two new Pop-Up classes as many of you expected. #29 Pop-Up: EPIC FANTASY WORLD BUILDING #30 Pop-Up: CREATING BELIEVABLE EPIC FANTASY NAMES These…
