Fifty Years of Learning from Mistakes

The amazing things I learned from mistakes in 50 years?

50 YEARS OF LEARNING FROM MY MISTAKES

by Dean Wesley Smith

I sold my first short story 50 years ago this year.

This class will not only be a class of learning about publishing and writing, but also a really hard look at the mistakes I made over 50 years and how I survived and learned from the mistakes.

Starts Tuesday, May 7th. Nine weeks of me sharing what I learned in hopes it will help you going forward. No assignments, just learning.
