    “You Go To Them” Negotiation Lecture Started

    I Hope… Teachable seems to be having a little issue this evening, so I hope all the videos are loaded correctly. If not, I will fix it in the morning. But this is the second in the series of Negotiations lectures which include webinars. You need to go through the first one, which is “They Come To You” before you can take the second one. You can get to them on Teachable.com. Get the bundle of all three to save a few bucks. So those of you signed up, there is a question for you that is due later in the week. Webinar is Sunday. UPDATE: Teachable got it all…

    PULPHOUSE FICTION MAGAZINE KICKSTARTER… We just launched the Kickstarter for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. The kickstarter is at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403649867/pulphouse-fiction-magazine You really want to watch the fun video that Kris did to show the history of Pulphouse. It shows me and Kris aging very, very quickly. (grin) Also, September (this month) is the 30 year anniversary of the launch of Pulphouse. Our first book came out in September, 1987.

    Some Movie Stuff

    Lecture on Movie and Television Negotiating… Kris and I have spent so much time with Hollywood projects, and always have Hollywood projects in one stage or another for our work, we can’t even keep track at times. Not kidding. We have made so much money from Hollywood over the decades in one way or another, I would be stunned if I even tried to add it up. If we are ever face-to-face over dinner or a drink, I’ll be glad to tell you some horror stories. Some of them are pretty funny. One thing we hear regularly is the stupidity of writers saying they need an agent to negotiate Hollywood…

    New Lecture Available

    Advanced Business Lecture: Taxes for Writers… This is the second lecture in the Advanced Business Lecture series. The first one was on corporations for writers. This one is about taxes for writers. It is not tax advice, but more of an awareness of the concepts of how writers can save vast amounts of money if they understand taxes in their states, countries, and around the world. Those who bought the full series on the subscription, I sent codes to earlier. If you didn’t get a code, write me. If anyone is interested in just taking the lecture, the cost is $50 and you can find it at: http://wmg-publishing-workshops-and-lectures.teachable.com/ ——————– A…

    Lecture Series Solution

    Writing and a Lecture Idea… Since I talked about IP valuation in the last chapter of The Magic Bakery, it has become clear that there are levels that might be valuable to a few writers to be offered in some format or another. And got some great comments in e-mail to me about the real need for a bunch of these areas, from IP to Corporation structures to writer tax issues and so on and so on. We cover some basics, very basic, in the online  Business Workshop, and we go into pretty good depth at the Business Master Class here at the coast in October. But that is it. And…

    Questions and Lecture Announcement

    GREAT RESPONSES… First off, the response on yesterday’s question post was amazing. I really didn’t respond to any of them because I hope to do so in longer posts next week. Some of the responses require longer posts, so I’ll do the first one of those on Sunday. Thanks everyone. Great stuff for discussions. Now to the Lectures I’ve been meaning to announce the new site for the lectures and just kept forgetting. We are also going to be doing new lectures again now that they are on this new site, so watch for those announcements. Over the last six months we’ve got some great ideas from all of you…
