SUPERSTARS Writing Seminar

Wulf Moon · 2019-09-02T16:35:44Z

I made this post to my Facebook account the other day, but I realized you are the ones that would likely benefit most from it. Many of the Founders are Writers of the Future judges, and they said at Writers of the Future that aside from winning the WotF workshop, there is no better seminar we could attend to help us advance our writing careers. And if you're low income, there are scholarships, and I'm here to tell you the application period just opened. I know one of you is already prepping an application, and I do know that Forum member well enough that I offered to write a letter of recommendation. If you are serious about becoming a professional writer, I highly recommend this seminar. And wouldn't it be cool if we could have a Forum gathering one night if enough of us attended? I started a filking night at the last seminar, and would love to have you join us for singing at the next! Here's the post, and I hope to see you there! ___________________________________ SUPERSTARS Writing Seminar This is the best writing seminar I have ever attended, and I've been to some great ones over the years. Why the best? The founders are NYT bestselling authors, like Kevin J. Anderson and David Farland and Eric Flint to name a few. They cut through all the BS in writing advice and tell it like it is. And they attract the biggest names in publishing to share their knowledge, from writers to agents to editors to audio to indie. Jim Butcher is there every year. Agent guru Don Maass taught there last year. There were pitch sessions with industry decision makers, like the VP of Audible Originals and the lead editor at Tor. Every panel you go to has the best and brightest in the industry trying to help you get a leg up. And in this industry, such knowledge will save you years in trial and error. Now, the best *workshop* I have ever attended is the one conducted for a week in Hollywood with Writers of the Future. The problem is, you never know if you'll get to it or not, because you have to win against thousands of contestants every quarter. But the Superstars Seminar is something you *can* determine. You can choose to go. You can choose to change your future with real knowledge by real experts. And instructors at WotF told us after winning WotF, this was the seminar to get to. It's because the knowledge shared here can help you level up. With so many elite people teaching, you'd think this would promote an elitist atmosphere. It does not. The members and instructors and panelists alike promote a family-like atmosphere--a functional, loving family where everyone is there to help the other. In fact, the members call themselves *tribe* and they mean it! Attending this seminar isn't simply about learning, it's about gaining a family of friends that continue to pool writing and publishing knowledge to help you succeed year after year. I've seen them provide aid to help members in financial straits, to console those who have lost loved ones, and to help members kickstart new ventures. When they say tribe, they put their money where their mouth is. In short, they really mean it. The seminar costs more than some, and less than others. You get what you pay for. All one can ask is what is moving ahead in your writing career by five to ten years worth? What will it cost you to run down all those dead end alleys in your career before you learn all of this? This seminar will save you years of wandering aimlessly and will set a target for you to focus upon, no matter the level you are presently at. These instructors aren't there to wrap the secrets of success in shrouds of mysticism--they are there to clearly outline direct routes on your map to publishing success. If you are *serious* about your writing, or need the motivation to become serious, this is the place to be. Find a way to attend. That's my advice to you...if you can afford it. If you are low income, they are taking applications for scholarships right now. Closes September 29th, so hustle hustle. That's how I attended. If I know you well enough, I'll write you a letter of recommendation. But if you have the means, just pull the trigger and sign up now while the rates are lower. And if you live in Colorado where the seminar is held, this is a no-brainer. I hope to see you there! Warmth and sunshine, Wulf Moon P.S.: Here's the promotional video link:... 0816286434 And here's the Superstars homepage:

Yes, many in the Wulf Pack Writers group will be there, Gideon, including myself. I encourage our members to attend the Superstars Writing Seminar, the LTUE Seminar (great group and I teach masterclasses there), and Southeastern Writers Association Seminar (I'm their Keynote Speaker next year). Fan cons are fun, but you really want a convention that specializes in writer and publishing programming. It shouldn't be an afterthought, it should be their focus. These conventions help you advance because they bring in professional writers to teach the skills you need to succeed.

May we meet at one some day! Cheers!
