Future Series #2: Opportunities

The Second in a Four-Part Workshop Series About How to Think About the Future

You have been creating all the stories and novels. Getting them out to readers, promoting them, then moving on to the next story. Great!

Now what? How do you create even more opportunities for your stories?

As we showed in the first workshop in the series, most long-term writers make most of their money off of their inventory. But the question is how to create and then take advantage of opportunities that exist for even more.

This workshop along with the others is a workshop to help you train that thinking.

This is the second workshop of a four workshop series taught by Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch. You must have the first workshop in the series before you can move onto this second because these four workshops build on each other. And even with four six-week workshops, we will only cover a small amount of this vast topic.

The first one will be offered every month, so no worries about it going away at any point.

But we hope by the end of the workshops you will understand how to think about the future of your writing.
