    New Workshops and Last Day of the Sale

    Half-Price Sale ends late Sunday Evening… And I got a number of new workshops up, three just today before the sale ends. The big new class, starting in September is the regular six-week workshop SEPTEMBER APPLIED DEPTH. (You must have taken the Depth workshop to take this one. Yes, it will be offered every month for a while.) Also today I put up three new classic workshops as promised. Classic Pulp Speed Classic Power Words Classic Making a Living from Novels These originally were six week regular workshops, but are now classic. Only differences are that you take them at your own speed and do the assignments only for yourself.…

    Make More Than Coffee Money

    The First In a New Series of Classes… Kris and I tend to spend a lot of lunches out in restaurants with a notebook, planning workshops. Usually we have a focus, like a certain week in a class that needs to be recorded. We make sure that I am recording the workshop we want it to be. Between the two of us, we think we hit good workshops more than we miss. And sometimes in these lunch discussions we just end up with new ideas  for workshops that we think would be fun or valuable. A couple details have to be in place before we talk about it enough to…

    Two New Regular Workshops Posted

    How to Study Workshop and How to Use Tags Workshop… Both new workshops will start in September and both are available right now to sign up for in Teachable. I think both of these will be as amazing as the Information Flow workshop. And the Tag workshop might be as game-changing as Writing with Depth. Not kidding. And we will present it in the same example method so you can really see them for the first time. Both of these workshops have been added to the lifetime subscription for workshops. Lifetime subscribers are already in the workshops if you want to take them in September. Otherwise you can wait until…

    New Pop-Up Weekender Workshops

    POP-UP WEEKENDER WORKSHOPS WMG Publishing announces a new category of writing and publishing online workshops. Shorter and more intense learning experiences. Kristine Kathryn Rusch and I have a number of workshop ideas we have wanted to do, but they are too long for a lecture and two short for the six week structure of the regular workshops. To remind you… —A Regular workshop goes through seven or so videos each week for six weeks and five homework assignments and costs $300.00. It takes six weeks to finish a class. Full list and descriptions at www.deanwesleysmith.com/online-workshops/ —A Classic workshop is a retired regular workshop that you can go through as quickly…
