These took up my group challenge to submit to the Third Flatiron anthology SciFI To Go: Food for Thought, and hit the callโs bullseye. Two of these writers were previously unpublished; now, they are about to be professionally published in June and will have physical books to sign to friends and family!
There is no greater validation that you are a writer than when you become a published author and hold a real book with your story in it in your hands. It is dream transformed into reality. Enjoy your new reality, Uncia Umbra, Tara McKee, as published writers with your first pro sales! And Candice Lisle, who continues to make her dreams reality! Well done!!!

His advice is spot-on; follow it and you can launch a major career.”โ Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative
โI have no doubt that Wulf Moon’s Super Secrets helped me become a Writers of the Future winner. His advice is clear, easy to apply, and full of wit and wisdom. But don’t just take my word for it, check out the long list of published and award-winning writers who all say the same thing. We can’t all be wrong!

Are you attending LTUE – Life, the Universe, & Everything Symposium this year? I’ve been invited to teach my award-winning masterclasses there again! Join us! Here’s the post I made to their Facebook group:

Time is running out! Last chance!
Iโm bringing my award-winning masterclasses to LTUE once again!
Proven, bona fide results!
At least two dozen writers following my teachings have won the Writers of the Future Contest, the Mike Resnick Memorial Award, the Worldcon Short Story Contest, and so many more! Almost all of these writers were unpublished when they began with me. Several won these prestigious contests after learning how to write winning stories right here in my masterclasses taught at LTUE!
The principles I teach work.
Knowledge isnโt power. Accurate knowledge you can understand and apply is power. Donโt let another year go by questioning what your stories, scripts, and novels are missing in order to achieve liftoff. You do have the power. But you need to know the target in order to aim for it and hit the bullseye.
Itโs the only way to achieve mission success.
Iโll show you how. As I have for so many others.
This year, donโt miss out. Because someone else that is proactive about their writing career is about to shoot ahead.
Make that person YOU.
Register for my morning masterclass based on my bestselling book HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY.
OR go for the afternoon session as I teach the deep magic of storytelling through fun examples from my favorite space opera, Guardians of the Galaxy.
OR why not take both while you have me right there in Provo to help you?
Are you ready for liftoff? Then register NOW and join us Wednesday, February 11th. Get on the launching pad before the gantry is pulled back and this rocket takes off!

“I wanted actionable advice on writing professional-level SFF short fiction and found the goods in Wulf Moonโs Super Secrets. As a newcomer to this form — so different than the screenplays Iโve been writing for 20+ years — Moonโs insights condensed my learning curve, vaulted me past potential pitfalls, and spared me untold hours of revisions.

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!

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 โMuzik Manโ
“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:
โขTangent 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.”
โขCritters 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.
โขSFcrowsnest: 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.”
โขGeneral 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!

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!
Curious? Then get my award-winning writing book! Click HERE.
My latest Super Secrets of Writing article is now available at DreamForge Magazine. The title? “The Dark Night of the Soul.”
The Dark Night of the Soul is a psychological condition psychotherapist Carl Jung experienced personally and taught theories about the transformation it produces when one successfully passes through it. Others followed. What’s more, it’s an essential element in deeply moving stories, and stories with emotional depth get noticed and remembered because they grip not just the mind, but more importantly, the heart.
