    All August Workshops Started

    But Still Time To Join One or More of Them… August Regular Online Workshops have all started. There are very few signed up for these August workshops. Remember, the workshops only take a few hours a week of your time, so even for a month like August it should be possible. And September there will be a new workshop or two announced. And some new lectures as well. And the reading list will go out for the first Study Along Workshop in September as well. And September starts the new short story and novel challenge. Still spots in both if you are thinking about it. The goal is thirty short stories…

    August Workshops Starting Up

    It’s That Time… August Regular Online Workshops are starting up. Actually, this caught me by surprise tonight as well. Sort of snuck up on me to be honest with all the travel and move stuff. But now I am settled into my new office and moving forward again just in time for these to get started. To be honest, there are very few signed up for these August workshops. Almost everyone will get a private lesson. Remember, the workshops only take a few hours a week of your time, so even for a month like August it should be possible. And September there will be a new workshop announced. And…

    Lifetime Subscribers Offer

    Something Special For Lifetime Workshop Subscribers… After some discussion at WMG Publishing, we have decided to occasionally offer something special to the Online Workshop Lifetime Subscribers. Not all of the lifetime subscribers will be able to take us up on the offer, but we want to make the offer anyhow. So we want to offer a $750 Publishing Master Business Class to anyone who is a lifetime subscriber between now and September 1st. That’s right, $750 tuition on us. I have sent letters to all lifetime workshop subscribers giving them the details. If you become a lifetime workshop subscriber before then, the offer will stand for you as well. The…

    That Was Very Interesting…

    THANK YOU!… Everyone, for the feedback, both in the comments and in letters. Both Kris and I were surprised, to be honest. The desire for a depth-like workshop talking about information flow was across the board. And even the Magic Bakery had a lot of people wanting to take it. Plus we got a bunch of other ideas for workshops. Some were on our lists like a Romance online workshop (very different from the intense craft Romance workshop Kris will do in Vegas next year). But one idea hadn’t occurred to us and that was a workshop about how to use tags. Tags are one of the most powerful tools…

    Two Possible New Workshops

    Scheduling and Trying to Decide… Working on the next four months of regular workshop schedules and I have sort of settled on two new workshops I would love to put together with Kris. So feedback is welcome. And yes, lifetime subscribers you will get any new workshop we do automatically. So first off, I like the idea of doing a Magic Bakery Workshop. Six weeks covering all kinds of details about how writers make a living and run a business with the focus on copyright and IP valuation. Now we did two advanced lectures on those two topics, but this would be so, so much more detailed and into the…

    Tip of the Week Delayed Until Friday

    Stupid Blog Title, Huh?… But alas, I won’t be able to record a new tip until Friday, so a new one on Friday and then another on Monday. Then back on schedule. Considering all this move stuff, pretty amazing I have only missed one so far. Insider Guide workshops started up today. The Game and Fear. Both will have weekly webinars. Trust me on the Game. It will change your focus of your business. Doing three pen names through ten years of careers will make that happen. And on Tuesday and Wednesday the Monthly regular June workshops are starting up. As for what I did today, I unpacked a bunch…

    June Workshops Starting

    Insider’s Guide Workshops… Both of the new workshops, The Indie Game and Fear are starting tomorrow. Sunday. The first week’s videos will appear in both tomorrow afternoon and the first webinars will be a week from tomorrow for both. We did both workshops originally as the weekend workshops. We are not changing out the videos because other than a mention of a day instead of a week, the teaching is fine in them. And the live webinars will really add to the learning. Sign up on Teachable at www.wmg-publishing-workshops-and-lectures@teachable.com. ————————- Also starting on Tuesday and Wednesday… June Regular Workshops All twelve June Regular six-week workshops are now available on Teachable…
