Actually Only One Photo Is Needed… About fourteen writers from the anthology workshop got up early and went out to run. Plus about five writers to cheer us on. Super fun. We had doughnuts waiting for us back in the anthology suite in the hotel for when we got done running and before we started […]
I Pulled It From the February Line-up… I looked back over the records and no one had taken the Magic Bakery workshop since last spring I think. So no point in listing it as a monthly workshop anymore, even though I think it is one of the most important workshops we have done. So now […]
Write Six Stories, Then Possibly Sell Them… I am sort of surprised, in an odd way, that for the first time in years, the anthology workshop is not full at this point. We have five spots left open and the sign-ups end on November 24th because the writing starts on the 25th. Of course, almost […]

Allyson Longueira, the publisher of WMG Publishing has offered to design a cover and help brand a series for a limited number of writers.

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 […]
