Quotes of the Day
“Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction. ” Ray Bradbury
“It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.” Just a reminder. Vladimir Lenin via The Passive Voice
The Licensing Expo was moved again, this time to its original time slot in May of 2021.
So Dean Wesley Smith expanded the Licensing Transition class. It was originally intended to run through the May 2020 Licensing Expo and end in June or July. It will still do that, but now it won’t end until after the Expo in May 2021.
And you can still sign up. Which means you can even sign up right now, during the half-price sale. See “Licensing Transition Class Extended One Year” at https://www.deanwesleysmith.com/licensing-transition-class-extended-one-year/.
