Wulf Moon’s Super Secrets of Writing Hits 1 MILLION VIEWS!

A record milestone! My Super Secrets of Writing project to help emerging writers just hit 1-million views!

I started this free online resource after I won Writers and Illustrators of the Future seven years ago to help writers craft tighter stories based on solid writing principles. The award-winning results of those following my Super Secrets speak for themselves. And my runaway bestseller How to Write a Howling Good Story came from this project.

You can read all of the posts online–there’s over 5,000 of them–and I know those that have. But I’ve made it easy for you–I’ve distilled them into a book! One Hollywood producer told me she read every post, and that it took her two weeks. She said, “What you did for all those writers was very kind.” I’m just happy my writing principles and strategies have helped so many to achieve their goals and dreams.

Thank you to all that have followed and supported what I do. I appreciate you!βœοΈπŸ’œπŸŒŸ

What the Editor of the Fastest Growing Literary Magazine Tells Every Writer

Danny Hankner is the editor and publisher of Story Unlikely Magazine. He states it’s the fastest growing literary magazine in the country and I believe him. In just a few years time, Story Unlikely has gained over 12,000 subscribers and pays pro rate to writers! Subscribe and you’ll see whyβ€”he’s curated a genre-bending collection of literary stories by writers that can actually tell a story while filling it with heart.❀️

Danny is also a man of action that suffers no fools. Politically incorrect? No. He’s simply not afraid to express his common-sense beliefs and has fostered a magazine that allows writers to do the same. Danny is passionate and if he believes in something or someone, he’s not afraid to say it. I like straight shooters. You always know where you stand with them. They say what they mean and mean what they say.

Knowing this about Danny, imagine my joy the first time a Wulf Pack Writer showed me her acknowledgment for her submission to the magazine. This form on their portal tells everyone to get a copy of my writing book! They even posted the universal book link to make it easy for submitters to get 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 π–π«π’π­πž 𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐰π₯𝐒𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. Crazy! I’ve never heard of such a thing. What’s more, it was a total surprise. Thank you, Story Unlikely!

Every author will tell you they’ve written a great book that will be the best decision you’ve ever made if you just pony up and buy it. But seeing a pro editor tell every writer submitting to their magazine that they need to get this book? That he’s endorsing it of his own free will to help you be the best writer that you can be? Danny Hankner tells it like it is. When an editor like Danny makes such a statement, you can take his words to the bank. Or, as my publisher Mark Leslie Lefebvre will tell you, study a copy and you can use these trade secrets to β€œmake bank.β€πŸ¦

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 π–π«π’π­πž 𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐰π₯𝐒𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 is my bestselling book that reveals new strategies in writing craft and storytelling that make stories, screenplays, and novels rise to the top. Get your copy through the link below and see for yourself why the editor of Story Unlikely calls it β€œthe best book on writing he’s ever read.”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY Tops the Charts!!!

I taught a free year-long workshop for five years called Wulf Moon’s SUPER SECRETS to help unpublished writers level up and get published. It’s been a huge success, and many asked me to compile my teachings into a book. I funded the production of HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY through Kickstarter crowdfunding. The Kickstarter had 330 backers and funded at over $21,000 (e-books were delivered two months ago, and I am madly shipping out print books to backers now). My publisher had his launch date set long ago. The book released last Tuesday, November 7th. I hoped the book might hit #1 on release day, but knew it would be an uphill climb. All my friends and fans already had the e-book through the Kickstarter pledge rewards–they didn’t need another from Amazon Kindle.

Guess what? We hit #1 in Kindle’s New Releases Fiction Writing Books category again and again all week long (#1 on Kobo as well). In the regular writing books category with all the famous writing books you know, HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY rose to #6 bestseller (some upstart named Stephen King shut me out with an obscure book called ON WRITING πŸ™‚ ). And then Draft2Digital’s weekly sales report came out–they report from multiple platforms, including Amazon. HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY hit #4 and #5 for the week in ALL indie nonfiction book category sales, not just the writing books category. And we launched on Tuesday–we didn’t even have the full week of sales! It continues to ride at #1 or #2 every day on Kindle’s New Release list for Fiction Writing books.

Thank you to all that recognized the importance of this book. It’s truly been a labor of love, born from my heartfelt concern for writers to make the publishing process easier … by helping them to learn how to create howling good stories that SELL!

Got yours? Do you long to see a story of yours published? Or if you’re published, to create stronger stories and novels that win awards and build a fanbase that long for more? What are you waiting for? Change your destiny and grab one today from your favorite retailer! Trust me, you’ll learn powerful writing secrets from this book, and you’ll have a great time reading it. Promise!

Order yours now by clicking on the link below! Cheers!
