Bundle on the Industry: A WMG Writer’s Guide

Kristine Kathryn Rusch & Dean Wesley Smith

As the modern publishing industry continues to evolve, writers look for help to navigate the changing landscape.

In this WMG Writer’s Guide Bundle on the Industry, New York Times bestselling authors and renowned business bloggers Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith help writers find success in the ever-changing world of publishing.

In Rethinking the Writing Business, Rusch provokes writers to think about their own careers as a business with limits only the writers, themselves, impose. From information on IP and licensing to what the writing industry truly looks like today, Rusch lifts the veil on the potential for every writer’s business to thrive.

In Killing the Top Ten Sacred Cows of Publishing, Smith addresses the ten most damaging myths that writers believe in modern publishing to illustrate the pitfalls and traps that undermine many writers’ careers.

In Killing the Top Ten Sacred Cows of Indie Publishing, Smith knocks ten myths down one after another—from the myth that indie writers can’t get books into bookstores (they can) to the idea that indie publishing must be easy (it is and it isn’t)—and might just save you years of wasted time.

“[Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s blog,] The Business Rusch…is full of sound advice and analysis about what’s going on.”
—Jeff Baker, The Oregonian 

“Dean Wesley Smith’s blog gives both a slightly different view of the publishing world than I’d seen before and detailed hands-on ‘here’s how to get from A to B’ instruction.”
— Erin M. Hartshorn, Vision: A Resource for Writers

Bundle on Craft: A WMG Writer’s Guide

Kristine Kathryn Rusch & Dean Wesley Smith

The secret of a great story often lies the writer’s ability to hone their craft. But many struggle to do so without destroying their unique voice. 

In this WMG Writer’s Guide Bundle on Craft, New York Times bestselling authors and renowned business bloggers Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith help writers successfully develop their skills for a long-term writing career.

In The Write Attitude, Rusch shows writers how they can do what they love and love what they do without sabotaging their own success.

In Writing into the Dark, Smith takes you step-by-step through the process of writing without an outline and explains why not having an outline boosts your creative voice and keeps you more interested in your writing.

In The Pursuit of Perfection, Rusch discusses the destructive ways peer workshops and the quest for perfection derail many writers’ careers, offers hope for writers who have suffered at the hands of critique—external and internal—and outlines a path to healing.

In Stages of a Fiction Writer, Smith takes you step-by-step through the stages most fiction writers go through and how not to lose hope along the way.

The Year of the Cat: A Cat of a Different Color

Edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch & Dean Wesley Smith

In A Cat of a Different Color, the first volume of WMG’s The Year of the Cat series, editors Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch worked to find stories that featured cats that were just a little surprising (an impressive feat for cats, anyone would have to admit).

Just a little weird. A little different.

Which makes these stories amazingly fun to read. After all, for cat people, reading about cats equals the fun of being with one.

Almost. Just don’t tell the cats.

“Familiar Territory: A Winston and Ruby Story” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

“The Mouth that Walked” by Dean Wesley Smith
“Do Not Resuscitate” by Dory Crowe

But one passenger decides to dig deeper. Rostifican uses his many skills to investigate the ship’s history—one with a number of suspicious incidents.
