    COLLECTION CLASSES 2023

    INCLUDES 2021, 2022, AND 2023 CLASSES I am in the process of launching two or three of these a night. So they will be appearing on Teachable as this week and into next week. There are 24 choices of Collection Classes including six new in 2023. Each class is 9 weeks long and you write five stories, do titles and blurbs and covers and publish the collection by the end of the nine weeks. If you turn in all nine assignments (5 are stories) you get credit for a Pop-Up of your choice. The title of the class is the theme of the collection, but no genre restrictions at all.…

    Workshops Not Ending… Only the Sales

    Thank you for the kind words, everyone… But a lot of you are making it sound as if the workshops are going away. Nope, just the sales, and I do understand that will limit a number of you going forward. Just nothing we can do if we want to get these out to as many writers as possible who might need them. So here is what is happening that we have planned now for the workshops that I can talk about or announce… First, we will keep doing new regular workshops. The six that are there for November are the core. Other new ones will be added in and then…

    Some Updates

    A Bunch of Stuff… First off, my eyes are still recovering, so I am slow to answer some email and read stories. Please pardon me. Not straining my poor one remaining eye at the moment for anything. (grin) Second… The last workshop sale is going on right now. Ends on Sunday, and yes, look back a few posts and I explain why this is the last workshop sale, forever. To get anything on WMG Teachable, simply find the course and the hit purchase and then on the next page put in the code: TheLastSale And hit apply and you should get the class for 50% off. It includes everything you…

    WMG Holiday Spectacular 2022

    Kickstarter Campaign… Funded in less than an hour and hit the first stretch goal in less than 12 hours. Wow!! And this one we are doing 16 days instead of 9 days. So with luck, we’ll finally get the fun holiday calendar of stories to a place we have been hoping it would get to for the last three years. 39 stories this year, one delivered every day from Thanksgiving (November 24th through January 1st. Over thirty professional writers wrote for it. Hugo Award winning editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch did all the editing. Talk about fun. And two special workshops on the topics of two of the anthologies Kris will…

    In-Person Workshops

    Leaving Price at $750… We had planned for a while to make the In-Person workshops $1,000 so we could find better location. But now that we have found the Resorts World, the cost is not that much more for WMG if everyone stays at the hotel. So for the moment, we are going to leave it at $750. (Again, through the workshop the room rate is $75 plus real resort fees.) You can see the full list and dates of the next seven in-person workshops here https://wmgworkshops.com/in-person/ Only two spots left in January FANTASY CAPER.  The spots are getting tight for the May ROMANTIC SUSPENSE and the July FANTASY THRILLER.…

All the October workshops just started yesterday and today, so nothing missed if you sign up now. All are six weeks long and have five assignments you send me. Any questions on any of them, just write me. You can find them all on WMG Teachable. Here is the list and…
