I am happy to say the new online masterclass in my SUPER SECRETS of Writing series is now SOLD OUT, well before I’m conducting it. This one teaches strategies in Interiority and 3P Intimate POV using my award-winning “Muzik Man” novelette at DreamForge Magazine as a teaching aid. Go ahead. Click on “Muzik Man” above. You can read it for free.
It gives me joy to see the support for what I do to help writers, and now I give my support to these writers in this next-level training.
I trust you know what I’ve accomplished with these SUPER SECRETS of Writing Workshops since I began teaching them a little over seven years ago. Dozens of writers have won some of the most prestigious writing contests in the country and even the world after receiving my training. Many more have gone from unpublished writers into professionally published status and now have professional careers!
If you believe in what I do, would you mind taking just a few moments to help me out? The Critters Readers Choice Awards are about to close in two days, and I’d love your support in the categories I’m nominated in! So would my writing group, the Wulf Pack Writers!
Winning in these awards increases the visibility of my programs (and my writing) so more emerging writers can find them and be helped to succeed. Please click on these categories below to weigh in. Anyone can vote, and every vote counts! But hurry! Voting ends on midnight, January 14, 2026. Just two days away!
Author: Wulf Moon (please scroll waaay down, it’s below some of their ads, a real disadvantage for me!)
That’s right! This is the public announcement of a NEW Super Secrets of Writing masterclass! My masterclasses are popular and normally sell out, and it looks like this one will be no different. You see, I first offered this to supporters behind my Patreon paywall (membership has its privileges), and there’s only seven spots left!
Here’s the scoop. I haven’t conducted new online masterclasses since I set up pay-on-demand classes two years ago through my Super Secrets of Writing Teachable school in conjunction with the release of my book, HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY. But I see the need for a new masterclass after doing hundreds of edits for clients. There are recurring issues that still hold stories back from selling, and I’m teaching this new masterclass to help writers fix them so their stories can rise to the top.
What’s this new masterclass? I’m glad you asked!
The Secrets to Crafting Award-Winning Fiction Through A Critical Analysis of “Muzik Man”
“Muzik Man” is my award-winning story of an android minstrel missionary sent to save a tone deaf world. What could possibly go wrong?
First, let me give you the story behind the story, and why I chose “Muzik Man” to teach the strategies in my newest masterclass!
Deep Magic magazine published the novelette in its Fall 2020 issue. Jeff Wheeler, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author and publisher of Deep Magic, shared his high opinion of the story, stating on Goodreads that he believed “Muzik Man” would be nominated for awards.
“Muzik Man” went on to win the Critters 2020 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Story of the year. It earned a star in Tangent Online’s prestigious 2020 Year End Reading List. It was reprinted in Best of Deep Magic Anthology 2 in 2021, and again in a subsequent release by Oliver-Heber Books in 2024. DreamForge Magazine reprinted the novelette in two parts in 2025, and it is now being produced in an audiobook by Podium Entertainment.
“Muzik Man” received significant acclaim and positive reviews:
•Tangent Online: The story received a starred review and was included on Tangent Online’s 2020 Recommended Reading List for novelettes. The reviewer praised its emotional power, likening its impact to the Star Wars saga, and noted that Moon “masterfully construct[s] a triumphant feel-good finish.”
•Critters Readers’ Choice Award: “Muzik Man” won the international Critters 2020 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Story of the year, based on votes from 2,500 readers worldwide. This marked my third consecutive win in this specific category.
•SFcrowsnest: In this oldest online speculative fiction fanzine, reviewer Eamonn Murphy called the novelette “damn good” and recommended it as “an original idea and well-handled.”
•General Reader Reviews: Individual Amazon/Goodreads reviews also highly praised the story as a “masterful work” and a “tear-jerker, a heart-softener, and a courage-revealer.” Multiple readers highlighted its emotional depth and impact.
In short, “Muzik Man” is a living example and perfect springboard to share the strategies to create award-winning fiction that grips both the mind, heart, and soul of readers! It has already proven that the techniques I’m going to share with you work!
The Masterclass Focus
The Super Secrets of Writing Strategies covered:
All of them! You think you know them, but have you ever had the creator of them show you blow-by-blow how he worked them into an award-winning story and shared how you can do the same in yours?
Those in the Wulf Pack Writers group know I’ve harped on learning 3P Intimate POV, but have you ever had me demonstrate the technique through one of my own stories before?
You understand the importance of the Reader/Hero Bond and emotionally crafted stories, but have you been trained specifically in interiority techniques by me before?
Winning stories go deep. They go beyond touching the mind, they go beyond reaching the heart. They actually feed the reader’s soul by transferring the reader through interiority into the emotions and thoughts of your hero.
This masterclass will share my techniques by doing a critical analysis of “Muzik Man” and why it works and was able to garner so much recognition. And then I’ll share through exercises how you can implement the same techniques in your own fiction. You don’t have to buy the books or magazine the novelette is printed in to study what makes this award-winning story tick: it’s free to read at DreamForge Magazine! Want in?
Where, When, and How to Enroll.
Where: This will be a live, 4-hour Zoom masterclass, plus a half hour (or more) for Q&A.
PayPal takes multiple credit and debit cards to make it easy to register. Before paying, in the Comments Section, please list your e-mail so I can acknowledge your order and send you your Zoom link to the live class as we get closer to the masterclass date! It’s the only way I can get you your Zoom link and access code.
I’ve been considering for a long time how to teach interiority and 3P Intimate POV, because I’ve seen the issues in stories I edit for clients–for many, this issue is holding their tales back from getting published. Epiphany! Use “Muzik Man”! It’s packed with interiority techniques, plus I intentionally worked Super Secrets into this story that I am certain helped it sell, get reprinted in a Best Of anthology, and win a Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Story of the Year award!
I hope to see many of you at this one. It could very well be the path to your win if you’re entering the Writers of the Future Contest, and reveals the path to writing emotional fiction that transports readers into your vivid tale. With this masterclass, you’ll go beyond tickling your reader’s intellect, you’ll go deeper than warming your reader’s heart. Take this masterclass, and you’ll learn how to nourish your reader’s soul.
Learning the techniques to do this is the greatest Super Secret of them all.
But hurry! As mentioned, I opened the masterclass first to my paid Patreon supporters two days ago and it’s already filling up! Only seven slots left! Register now before it’s SOLD OUT!
Enter in your browser: PayPal.me/wulfmoon Along with your registration fee, don’t forget to enter your email in the What’s This About section or I can’t acknowledge your payment and send you your access link and codes.
Come on in and join us! This will be fun! Muzik Man promises! OoooWaaah!
𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡! After I won Writers of the Future in 2018, I created a year-long annual workshop to help emerging writers learn common-sense story principles to help them craft winning stories. Since then, we’ve had at least twenty writers win prestigious writing contests like Writers of the Future, the Mike Resnick Memorial Award, the Story Unlikely contest, and more.
The vast majority were unpublished when they joined.
𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟴 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝘀𝘁. Winners come from our workshop every year, although they’re all winners to me because they chose to invest in their future and took up the challenges and assignments that lead to publishing success.
If you’ve got the Right Stuff and would like to give a turbo boost to your learning curve, the Wulf Pack Writers annual workshop is a proven path to success. There’s a reason we’ve won Best Writers Workshop six years straight.
Winners happen here.
Every. Single. Year.

“Wulf Moon’s Super Secrets are the most powerful writing resource I’ve found. What started as a workshop thread on the Writers of the Future Forum grew into a writing methodology that creates published and award-winning authors in record time. How fast? Everybody’s different, but using the Super Secrets, I went from writing my first short story to winning Writers of the Future in only eighteen months.”–David Hankins, winner, Writers of the Future
“I began writing speculative fiction in late 2019. But it wasn’t until 2022 when I took two masterclasses from Wulf Moon that I found myself leveling up. I landed my first three pro and semipro sales, joined Moon’s Wulf Pack Writers group of ambitious, hard-working fellow writers, and had fun along the way. The Super Secrets are like rocket fuel!”–Jennifer Lesh Fleck, writer
“Wulf Moon’s Super Secrets have helped me leap forward in my writing skills more than any other writing courses I’ve ever taken — and I have a B.A. in Creative Writing! I wish I’d come across his Super Secrets years earlier. They have shaved at least ten years off my learning curve for writing short stories.”–Crystal Crawford, novelist, CCrawfordWriting
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!

I started writing for DreamForge Anvil Magazine with their charter issue. Editor Scot Noel asked me to write a story for that issue, and he also bought my article on how I wrote the story, “Shaken, Not Stirred.” And he commissioned me to write a series of my Super Secrets of Writing articles for DreamForge to support emerging writers, something Scot and I are both passionate about. It’s been a great partnership.
Recently, DreamForge built a new website. With it came new improvements, like a bio page for each author published in the magazine, and links to everything they’ve had published in DreamForge. For me, that represents a total of twenty fiction and writing articles, with more to come. The image above shows you a sample of what the page looks like. But what’s really cool? You can click on any of the beautiful illustrations and be whisked away to the very issue the article or story appears! And they’re all FREE!
My mission has always been to help emerging writers by simplifying the craft of writing so writers know exactly what they need to do to create professional stories that have the power to get published. Accurate knowledge is power. These award-winning articles bring emerging writers all the strategies and tools they need to succeed.
Are you trying to succeed as a writer? Do you feel discouraged that your stories aren’t getting accepted by publishers, or do your indie works have lackluster sales? Trust me, these articles will help you pinpoint how to improve your writing so it can rise to the top. Or don’t trust me. Go check some of my articles out and decide for yourself. They may be free, but the strategies shared are pure gold.
If you like what you see, why not subscribe? There’s additional benefits for doing so, and it will help DreamForge keep bringing you great articles and fiction for years to come. Cheers!
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 why—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 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 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 “make bank.”🏦
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 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 “the best book on writing he’s ever read.”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
