#39 Pop-Up... Flexibility in Business
Flexibility in Business... MBC
The Pop-Up.
Over the last number of years, topics and fun things had come up that Kris and I wanted to talk about, but we had had no structure to do so. But now we do with these Pop-Ups.
These Pop-Up topics will just appear when something strikes us. No regular order or timing, but we hope to do more than one per month at least.
Each Pop-Up will consist of from 10 to 15 videos on the topic. Maybe some extra stuff if the topic needs extra. And then one short story prompt.
Some topics will also be part of the Master Business Class series.
The Short Story Prompt
Each Pop-Up will also have a short story assignment to a specific topic associated with the Pop-Up. If you decide to write the short story, you can send it to dean at [email protected]
Instructions for each will be in the assignment video.
We will suggest markets if we know of any. Also, if the story fits something either of us are editing at that moment and we like it, we might ask for you to send it back for that project. To send it back or not will be your choice. You are not submitting a story to anything by sending the story to us for feedback. You are just getting us to read it like a first reader. Only we are experienced editors.
Why would we do this? Because, honestly, we love reading short fiction and we would love to see what writers could do with some of these topics at hand.
Pop-Up #39... Flexibility in Business
This is a focused look at the value of being flexible in the publishing business. This is a session in the overall Master Business Class series, but is valuable to take stand alone as well
And, of course, this will have a really fun short story prompt you can write in your own pace.
