It's back to school time!

Well, for some, school has already been in for a while, but for me, I'm just now getting into my "back to school" mindset - which is when I do most of my writing. This fall, I'll really be going back to school but as a teacher rather than a student. You see, Writer's Digest University has asked me to teach a class on Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy. It will be an ONLINE six-week course running from 9/17/2015 - 10/29/2015.
While taught online it will follow a standard college course with:
• Assigned reading material• Homework assignments• Forum for discussions and asking questions• Critique of part of your novel or a short story
Because it is an online course, you don't have to be available on any given day or time. You can come on, submit your homework assignments, ask questions, or participate in the discussions at your convienence. That said, there will be different topics each week and you should try to "keep up" with the class as the various modules are covered. There is a fee for the course: $319.99 you can register here.
Some aspects covered by the course:
You'll take an in-depth look at How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy by Orson Scott Card.Learn how to break into the field of science fiction and fantasy writing.Learn the basics of science fiction and fantasy.Learn tips for creating imaginative settings.Learn ways to develop winning story ideas. Discover how to get your work published. COURSE OUTLINE
Session One - Genres and Subgenres: Discussion of the various forms of SF/fantasy, and their many subgenres | A short history of SF/Fantasy | From idea to story: SF and fantasy based on ideas | The importance of originality | SF/fantasy as the literature of ideas | The science in science fiction, the magic in fantasy | Science and technology in SF stories | Ways to generate story ideas.Session Two - Worlds and World building: The importance in setting in SF/Fantasy | World building “as you go” and “from the ground up” | Common settings for the various genres| Tips for world building.Session Three - Humans and Others: The characters in SF/Fantasy | Ways of expressing character | Humans, aliens, robots, and others | Dialogue and behavior | Tips for dialogue and character creation | The central character(s) | How many characters? | The importance of character focus.Session Four - Stories and Plots: Telling a story as a series of things that happen | Tips for plotting | The importance of the exciting scene | When to outline.Session Five - Starts and Stops: Getting the writing started: the terror of the blank page | Starting with an exciting scene | Opening narrative “hooks.” | Narrative “voices.” | Choosing a viewpoint: What does “point of view” really mean?Session Six- Resources and Workshops: Joining the “Country Club”: Professional organizations | Online resources for writers | Fan conventions | Workshops and critique groups | Markets and listings | Manuscript preparation | Finding a literary agent | Submitting to publishers on your own | The Four Rules of Writing.The course has been run several times in the past, and the material is is one that WDU developed. That said, I'm a pretty opinionated guy, and there are plenty of place for me to interject my own thoughts on the various topics, plus we can really get into the nitty-gritty behind the scenes aspects of publishing through the forum discussions. If any of this sounds interesting, I hope you'll join us.

Readers Helping Translators...Parlez-vous français?
A while ago I was approached by a person who had read (and loved) Hollow World. She enjoyed it so much, in fact, that she wanted to translate the whole book as part of her graduation requirement. That's a lot of work!! Well, she's completed it and I want to see if we can (a) get a French edition of Hollow World out to people and (b) get her some compensation for her effort.
So, here's the deal. I'm going to self-publish the French edition and pass the money onto her until it reaches a certain amount, and then we'll start splitting any proceeds. Sounds good right?
Well, the only problem is I want some quality control, but really don't have any budget for this since I'm not going to be earning from the book. Now, I can throw a little bit of money at the project so here's where hopefully someone will come in to help.
I have the first three chapters of the book and I'd like to hire someone to read it and tell me if the translation makes sense to them. If you haven't read Hollow World, I'll provide you the English version as well. To be honest, I don't know how much to pay for this, but if you can do this at a reasonable cost, then we definitely should talk.
So, if you are interested please send me an email (michael.sullivan.dc@gmail.com) with the subject of French Hollow World and we can talk further. It would be great if we could get this translator some compensation for all her hard work. But before I put it 'out on the market' I want to know if the translation came out well.

Welcome to Zeitfuge!
Zeit what? You may be asking...this is the title of Hollow World novel translated into German.

I really like the cover that HEYNE did for this novel - and I only wish I could read German, as I'd love to see how it differs from the English version. If you read German, and are into time-travel novels with a twist, this might be the book for you. And if you do read it, please let me know what you think.

Death of Dulgath Audiobook pre-order is live!

The good people at Audible.com have let me know that the pre-order page for the book has gone live, so you can reserve your copy now.
As you can see, it will (a) utilize the same amazing artwork as the print and ebook (which was created by the incredible Marc Simonetti), and (b) will once more be narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds.
Robin has done an amazing job wrangling the beta readers and I've already started making changes based on their feedback. Thank you to all those who are participating. You're making a good book even better, and I'm grateful for you generous time and talent. Here's some of the input we've received from those who have completed the full read.
I think this is a very well told original story. It had everything I love about Riyria.
Hadrian and Royce are as fantastic as ever. This was so much fun.
I SOOO LOVE THIS BOOK. After I'm done with this survey I'm going to reread it.
A combo of great characters and a terrific story well told.
Great story with memorable characters.
Good to see our old pals again. A great story, loved The First Empire references.
It was like being 'back home'. I hated that the series ended (as all must, eventually) and wanted more. This was right on!
It's a busy time, especially for Robin who is baring the blunt of a lot of the work. But one that is also very rewarding because I couldn't be happier with the results. I can't wait until others have a chance to read or listen to the book.

Authors Helping Authors: 15 Writers Move onto Round 2

I've received hundreds of entries. If you’re wondering if I staffed this out…no, I read each one personally. It should be understood I didn’t read any of them completely.
In the same way that it is possible to tell if a person is a skilled pianist or a novice from only a few bars of music, most people can tell the difference between a skilled writer and a novice from a few sentences. I most often read until I hit enough problems to determine the entry wasn’t going to make it. This usually required me to read no more than the first page, often only the first paragraph. In a few cases only the first sentence was needed. And in two cases only four words. If I read beyond the first page, the piece was dropped into the “promising” folder to be read in full later. If not it went into the “reject” folder.
This is similar to how publishers and agents deal with large piles of submissions and is something of which all professional writers should be aware. You don’t have long to make a good impression. The good news—if you want to call it that—is that unlike most agents and publishers, I skipped the query letter and read the story. I didn’t care who you were or what your credential were until I determined if you could write. Only after your story landed in the “promising” folder, did I read the query, or even your name.
For those who are wondering why they bothered to work on the query if I ignored it in the majority of the cases, don't worry...it should be worth your time. You see, everyone who submitted will walk away with at least a critique of their query, but that process will occur once I'm past the deadline for delivering the novel.
Judging literature is a subjective endeavor. I do not profess to being The Authority on Good Writing, but this contest isn’t being award to the best literature submitted, it’s going to the one I like best. While most creative competitions are determined by a consensus of opinion, in this case (because this is my competition) only one opinion matters—mine. As a result I can tell you exactly how I judged this first round. I eliminated entries if they exhibited any of the following:
1. Poor writing (repeated words, unnecessary words, poor word choices).
2. Story doesn't start at the start of the piece.
3. Too much exposition.
4. Difficult to understand.
5. Lack of interest.
Any of these were likely to send your story to the “reject” folder very quickly. I would however read more if I encountered:
1. An original or interesting premise.
2. Excellent writing.
Two pieces I read in their entirety because they were so well written, but alas, both lacked a story—part of the reason why I kept reading is that I was trying to find it. There are many short fiction works that aren’t stories, meaning they don’t pose a question then answer it. Instead they are simply an example of writing that begins nowhere special and ends at a random point with out actually having one. I don’t view these as stories so much as exercises in writing. While they might display superb literary skills, they’re cheating by skipping the hardest part: developing a complete, satisfying, engaging and hopefully, moving story in less than 7,500 words. This is what makes short story writing so hard. You have to invest massive cosmic power in an itty-bitty living space, something Hemingway famously managed in six words:
For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.
Works that skip this part usually display only the skill, or acquired craft, of a writer, but there is more to fiction than craft. As a result, excellent writing got my attention, however, it didn’t win me over. A great story with wonderful characters and mediocre writing consistently beat out great writing with only the hint of a story.
Of the hundreds of entries I went through, fifteen are waiting for me in the “promising” folder. Those of you who entered this contest and don’t see your name on the list, might wonder what exactly you did wrong, or—should you find your name listed—what is it you did right? Here are the most common problems I found:
1. You started your story with boatloads of exposition. As in: In the land of Hezgoroth a hot wind blew across the land where ancient kings of the Jeilian Horde warred against the*…I’d usually hit reject at this point. I don’t want you to tell me a story. I want to live it. (* This is not from a submission. I made this up. I won’t post anyone’s work and criticize it. That’s just mean.) Fact is, I hate the rampant habit of the fantasy genre to indulge in excessive, and usually unnecessary, exposition. If your story started this way, have hope, not everyone almost no one feels the way I do.
2. Nothing happens at the start of the story, as in: Leroy sat on the log pondering his life as he waited to find out the verdict the king would hand down. Ever since he left his home of… Again this is exposition, but at least it started with a character doing something, too bad they were only sitting. Better to have started the story with the verdict, or better yet with the consequences of the verdict. (Again, this isn’t from a submitted story.)
3. Purposeful avoidance of details that keep the reader from understanding anything, as in: The person was there thinking. They weren’t certain when it would happen, but they knew it would happen soon, or soon enough. It was hard to tell. Or it’s slightly lesser annoying sibling, dithering, as in: He wasn’t certain but he seemed to be almost falling. He thought he might be, and maybe he was but…
4. You may have spent your precious first words of your story setting the stage as opposed to starting the story, as in: The forest was dark and gloomy. A thick eerie mist rose. A full moon was only a hazy faint light. Everything was cold and damp and filled with fear full forbidding. It was an evil night. Even the…Reject.
5. Confusion. If I couldn’t understand what was going on, I passed. Boredom. Maybe I could understand it, and something was going on, but if I wasn’t intrigued, I passed.
A short story is akin to a sprint. The faster you are off the blocks the better your chances of winning. Meandering your opening isn’t going to win races. Remember the first sentence, and to a lesser extent the first paragraph, might be all anyone ever reads and this applies to novels too. The opening has to be great.
That said, if the first sentence was a bait-and-switch where you invented a compelling opening line just for the sake of a great opening line, that too was passed on, as in: Bob was plummeting to certain death. Bob woke from his dream drenched in sweat. Bob was born thirty-five years about, and now I will tell you about his childhood. It started…
The opening also can’t just be action—as many of them were. Action scenes didn’t work for me. Combat isn’t interesting. It’s actually very boring unless you care about those involved, and you can’t if you don’t know who they are.
In the first paragraph of your story I was looking to discover who the story was about (not just their name), what they were trying to do, and why they were having troubles doing it. The entries that managed this had a much better chance of me getting to the end of the first page. Therefore a sentence like: Officer Jane Williams didn’t know whether to cut the blue or the red wire, but she knew she had ten seconds to decide.
Who: Most likely a police woman.
Situation: Most likely defusing a bomb.
Problems: A bad decision will bring death.
After the first sentence I am into this story, (which again I just made up). I don’t need setup, or mood, exposition, backstory, fancy prose, or clever internal dialog. Twenty-three words and I have what could be the entire story laid out along with the main character and the conflict. As the reader of this I know all the important facts, and am invested. I want to know if she cuts the right wire, what happens if she doesn’t. This is where this story might end as the question posed in this opening is which wire should she cut? The story then could be how she goes about deciding which wire. This could even have a twist in that she cuts neither wire. The point is, a short story, being short, needs to start right at the beginning, grab the reader and go. At least, that’s what I’m looking for. And the ones who managed this, or at least managed to entertain me and were also well written, and who didn’t blow it by the end of the first page, got into the “promising” folder.
Out of hundreds there were fifteen. They are (in no particular order):
Jillian Lokere
H. L. Fullerton
Kate Smoot
Hannah Dancy
Tyler Powell
Desmond Warzel
Thorn Stratton
N. E. White
Heather Jean Matheson
Steve Williamson
Marina Lobstetter
Terence Kuch
Anthony Lowe
Setsu Uzume
Zachary Brennan
Congratulations to the Promising Fifteen. At this point I will be reading each of these in their entirety and sending the very best to a “Finals” folder. After that I’ll likely invite my wife to read them for a second opinion, then I’ll be contacting the winner. Good luck all.

Lots of updates...
Very busy time right now so I have a lot of updates on many fronts. I'll go through them in short form here and will expand them later.
Short Story Contest - As you may know, I held a contest to give a "leg up" to writers by including one of their short stories in my next published book, The Death of Dulgath. I've gone through about half of the submissions an have eight "potentials" from that group. I'll be doing a more extensive report once I get through the submissions - and yes, everyone will hear one way or the other.
Death of Dulgath Beta - is clicking along and it looks like the book is in real good shape. There have been a lot of good suggestions I've already implemented, but they fall into the category of minor tweaks rather than major reworks.
Age of Myth Cover Artist - It's official, Marc Simonetti will be the cover artist for the new series coming from Del Rey. Marc was on my very short list (3 illustrators) that I wanted for the series, and I couldn't be happier with the choice. I've been working with Marc for several projects now and I'm so glad to have in on board with this next great adventure.
Writer's Digest Class: Writing the Science Fiction & Fantasy Novel - Starts September 17th (my birthday) and will run through the end of October. I didn't create the class (it's a format Writer's Digest had developed and perfected for several course), but I will be the instructor and adding my own experiences in supplemental information. Over the course of the class you'll write a part of your novel (or a short story) and I'll be critiquing the results.
Preorders - for Death of Dulgath should be going live soon - including the pre-order page for the audio version. Again, I'll keep you updated as the links start going live. Also, keep in mind that you can pre-order the hardcover, tarpaper back, and ebook directly from me which will take 30% - 55% of the money you pay into my pocket rather than the retail chain. Plus, you can have the books signed - which is a huge advantage.
Author Video Diary (vblog) - One of the reward suggested by a Kickstarter Backer was a video diary. Episode #1 just went up. If you want to see it you can from here.
Unbound a new anthology from Shawn Speakman - is moving along. I submitted my story, "The Game" a few months back. Shawn has a great line up for it, and I'm excited about being included.
Unfettered II - is another anthology from Shawn. Creating a short story for it is my current project. I'm trying to make this a story related to my new series, The First Empire. The trick is enticing people into that series, but making it non-essential so the people who don't read the short will still have all they want. I have a story I'm really happy with so far, but it's not as "tied in" with the series as I would like. Robin came up with a good suggestion yesterday that I'm going to see if I can work into it.
Well, I think that's it for now. Like I said - it's busy times...but I like it that way.

Kickstarter Podcast is live of The Author Biz

Robin and I were guests on "The Author Biz" podcast, talking about Kickstarters. Robin did most of the talking because she's a wiz when it comes to Kickstarter. We also talked about things such as BackerKit, and how to setup a successful Kickstarter. If you are thinking of running a Kickstarter any time in the future, give it a listen. I think you'll find it's well worth your time.

Blackguards released in audio...and you can get a free short from it

Acknowledging some amazing people
One of the rewards for the backers of the Death of Dulgath Kickstarter is seeing their name in print as I publicly recognize them in the acknowledgements. Of the 1,845 people that pledged, 1,393 chose to be added. A large number of people (more than 200) contributed at levels that I never dreamed possible so I wanted to give them a little special attention. I'm repeating the two lists here for two reasons. First, to give these people extra recognition, and second, so the contributors can check the spelling of their names to ensure I have them right before we put them into print. So if you are a contributor. Please check for your name below. If it is missing, or there is a typographic error that needs correction, please contact me right away. Also, keep in mind there are two lists - so please check both of them.
