  • Full-Ride Scholarships for Think Sidways and Revise Your Novel

    I have recommended Jeff Walker in the past for writers who need to know how to self-promote and how to create income to pay for their writing—he taught me, and changed my life in doing so. He has a new class coming up. But the price can be steep (depending on who you are). When…

  • How To Write A Series, the Week 2 video

    Having learned my lesson from my trials with the first How To Write A Series video I presented, I’m starting out this time with a video that I know works. What a concept, huh? 😀 This is one segment from the second of five Week Two videos in the course. Here I’m discussing how to…

  • A Video Teaser from HOW TO WRITE A SERIES

    I got the video to work. The solution: I took it off WordPress, which was eating the video player code. Here’s The Video This is a short excerpt from the beginning of the HOW TO WRITE A SERIES class. I hope you enjoy it. And in case you were wondering, I drew the mindmap. 😀…

  • How To Write A Series is now live

    This is later than I’d planned—this week held a couple of difficult surprises. But I worked through the weekend, and the first part of the stand-alone version of How To Write A Series is now available. If you don’t know the 192 types of series, or when to use them… If you want to avoid…

  • Update, and moving on

    I want to thank everyone who e-mailed me or posted here offering condolences on the closing of Rebel Tales. And I’d like to reassure folks who were concerned that my closing Rebel Tales meant Kirsten Anderson/Kate Ferreri/whateverthehell-her-name-really-is had somehow “won” that they need not worry. She hasn’t won anything. At the point where I discovered…

  • Rebel Tales has closed.

    Due to the nature of the actions taken by Ms. Ferrari, and to how these actions reflect both on Rebel Tales and on me, and because I cannot guarantee that some other person will never misrepresent himself and his actions while using my name and the name of Rebel Tales as cover for wrongdoing, I…

  • Misrepresentation by former Rebel Tales PROSPECTIVE editor

    URGENT: For all writers and other folks interested in working with—or already working with—REBEL TALES. Over the weekend I received an entire series of emails forwarded to my by REBEL TALES editor Kari Wolfe, who was contacted by a frustrated author after a former PROSPECTIVE editor of Rebel Tales misrepresented herself as a full editor…

  • Bonus pages up in How To Revise Your Novel

    The course isn’t up. The course isn’t done. But if you want to take an early peek (and if you’re a Revise Your Novel student and have already reached Lesson 23/Bonus 1 in the course) you can also see the test movie I have up. 😀 Just log in, click on the Bonus 1 page,…

  • How to sign up for How To Write A Series

    Major error on my part, judging from the number of questions and the amount of e-mail I’ve received on this. I forgot to mention that you CAN’T sign up for the How To Write A Series course just yet. Today I just wanted to let you know it was coming. I still have to create…

  • Courses, classes, and novel for 2011

    So…I’ve been MIA for a bit more than two months. I’m back now, and ready to get down to the cool stuff, but before I get to that, here’s where I’ve been, and why: After losing just about six months last year to constant migraines, vertigo, and there for a while the dread that I…
