Online Workshops Update
All Kinds of Stuff Going On… First off, since no one was signed up in June for the Weekender Pop-up Workshops, we have cancelled those. However, the entire group of them, plus two more will return in the fall, after the time of great forgetting. The Indie Game workshop turned out to be a stunner and great fun. I sure had a blast looking at a ton of writer pen name careers over ten years, seeing all sorts of patterns. Of course, the Pop-Up Workshops will remain available to all of the Lifetime Workshop subscribers. You folks can take them at any time you want. ————— Insider’s Guide Webinar workshops.…

Thanks for the Workshop Comments!
Got Great Comments About My Question Last Night… Plus a bunch of people wrote privately as well. Thank you everyone. Very much appreciated. I got one question that came up in the online comments and that was the suggestion we do this on video online. Answer: Simply, nope. Never will happen I’m afraid. There is a reason people call this a “show” and that would not come across at all in video. This is two very long-term, very experienced, professional writers and editors, in front of you talking and making publishing entertaining and fun while you learn. Not at all sure where, in this modern world, you would get a…

Talking About Lifetime Subscriptions
Since We Have Offered This For Almost Two Months… I figured I would update how it has worked. And give information on one change in signing up. From this side, it has worked wonderfully, actually. A number of the lifetime subscribers took the Insider’s Guide first two workshops (all new and old workshops are included) and it was great to have them in the mix in the live discussions every Sunday. I hope a few will also join in on the live sessions of the Serial and Detective workshops starting up. And a number of the lifetime subscribers are working through workshops at their own pace, sending me the assignments…

Workshops Starting!!
MAY INSIDER’S GUIDE Workshops Sunday the two May Insider’s Guide workshops will be starting. The first live webinars for each will be one week from Sunday and they run for four weeks, with recorded videos and assignments every week and a webinar at the end of every week. The webinars are basically me talking for an hour with you folks asking questions that I answer. It is live, but I am the only one on video. Everyone else is asking questions through a chat function. These two are going to be great fun. And I am still laughing about the first assignment Kris came up with for the Writing Detective…

Some Questions About the New Workshop Location
Got some Great Questions About the New In-Person Workshops in Las Vegas. Let me just list the questions and then below I have copied the announcement again. Question: Room Rate the Same for Both Early Bird and those who pay later? Answer: Yes. We will have the room block set for each workshop and will send those who are paid the code to the room block to get the discounts. We will send out those hotel codes as soon as you pay for the workshop. If the block fills, those who get in late will most likely end up paying a little more. We will try to solve that if…

In-Person Workshops Moving to Las Vegas!!!
Starting in October… That’s right, after this summer Series Workshop here in Lincoln City, all “coast workshops” will be held in Las Vegas. That’s right, after almost twenty years here (first was in 1999), we are graduating the in-person workshops up to the next level. I will be writing those signed up for the two workshops coming up, the Business Master Class in October and the Anthology Workshop in early March to confirm if you still want to attend or not. Or you can contact me. Either way is fine. There are slight changes to format and schedule which will make this better for everyone. (We talked to a lot…

Insider’s Guide Webinar Workshops…
INSIDER’S GUIDE Workshops… Yup, we changed the name. And are now taking sign-ups. They are webinar workshops, with a combination of recorded videos and a weekly in-person session webinar. Four weeks long. The workshop will have five or six recorded videos per week, plus an assignment, then the four live webinar chats, one per week, to answer questions and such after everyone has had time to go through the videos and assignments. Yup, you get to ask me questions directly. And listen to other writer’s questions. I think this will be great fun. We will limit it to 10 writers plus the Lifetime Subscribers. (Lifetime Subscribers get in if they…

Cold Poker Gang Novels
Amazing Video For My Cold Poker Gang Novels… I love writing this series and have a new one in the works called Side Pot that I will track the writing for everyone here once I finish the book I am working on. This short video really catches the flavor of the series. If you love mystery and cold cases, give the series a try if you haven’t already. You can see the entire series and get links to purchase here. —————- REGULAR WORKSHOPS… This weekend I will be sending out the information to those signed up on the March regular workshops.
