Available….
Some Classes Started And Still Available… I just posted the third week of 52 weeks of both the MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY and CREATIVE SURVIVAL classes. Every Monday morning you have four videos each class. All year long. This week on CREATIVE SURVIVAL was basically about standing up for your own work. MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY was uplifting with a great quote from Charles de Lint as the pithy comment of the week. Both of these are still available on Teachable to get either as a full year or by the quarter. Now that the first of the year has settled in a little, these might help you keep on track. DIRECTED STUDY…. Also…

Creative Survival… New 52 Week Class
Kris and I Are Really Excited About the New Class…. Same format at Bite-Sized Copyright and The Decade Ahead classes. 4 videos every Monday. Basically what we were doing with Bite-Sized Copyright and The Decade Ahead classes were helping writers with creative survival. And we both loved those two classes and one day over lunch I asked Kris what she thought would be a possible way to continue them. She pointed out that one had been organized on copyright, which all writers need to survive and make money, and the other had been focused on just surviving ten years out. And that we had left out a ton of stuff…

Targeted Sale to Get Ready for 2024!
Just Trying To Help… At WMG Publishing, we now only do workshop sales when we start a new Shopify store. But now that we have four Shopify stores, we have no set time in 2024 to start a new one. Going to let the first stores just build. So no workshop sale. But we got talking and we figured that for a few targeted classes to help writers through 2024, we could do a targeted sale. This is not for all the Teachable classes, just a few targeted things. We have never done this before, but if we figure it helps a few writers going into the new year, it…

Last Day of Sale!!
Ends Late Tuesday Night… In case you missed this last week, just like the rest of the planet, we have been doing a sale, one last one for a very long time. (We do sales now when we open a new Shopify store and we have no plans for a new store any time into the future. Thus no workshop sales. In fact, we talked today about the next possible new Shopify store that would have a grand opening sale with it and we have nothing, not one planned for 2024.) So if you want some class or workshop for the new year, last day to grab it half price.…
