Master Business Class

Online Master Business Class

ONLINE MASTER BUSINESS CLASS

For many years the Master Business Class was held in person over four days in Oregon and then in Las Vegas. The class covered the leading edge of the publishing business for writers.

Topics covered included (but were not limited to) promotion and marketing, discoverability, negotiations, branding, licensing, and strategies for series, stand-alone books, short stories, and nonfiction. It dealt with copyright and trademark, managing cash flow, trends (and overviews), corporations, audio, hiring help, gaming, licensing for movies and television and video, plus crowdfunding of all types.

And so much more.

NOW THE MASTER BUSINESS CLASS IS GOING ONLINE.

Over 20 topics will be presented in stand-alone classes, each selling for $150 or $200 each if bought individually.

BUT ALL OF THOSE CLASSES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS CLASS.

That's right, over $4,000 in class value in this class.

This will run, barring another pandemic, from July 2021 to May of 2022.

All classes included in this will remain on your dashboard to go back to at any point.

In May of 2022, WMG Publishing will host a large suite at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas where writers attending can go in the evenings to talk about what they saw and learned that day. Anyone taking this class has an invite to that suite. There will be no formal meeting structure, just gathering after dinner for talking, just as the suites in the evenings were at the in-person Master Business Class.

The In-Person is not required as part of this class. Just a bonus if you decide to attend the Licensing Expo.

The first classes will start being added here in July, 2021. Eight to ten will be added toward the end of 2021 and then regularly a new class on a new topic will be added in 2022 all the way until May of 2022. After that we will add updates.

So join the Business Master Class online. It will have so much more information than we could ever present in person.
