The Art & Craft of Writing!

Find it Here!

For those that have been paying attention since I wrote the Pulp Mindset, you certainly remember that I have told you that despite reading plenty of books about writing there wasn't one I could really recommend you. The reason is simply that most of them are written from a perspective of an author who has forgotten what it was like to be a writer putting pen to paper for the first time. They would give out advice that always felt a bit detached from reality. From this angle, I explained that most writing books aren't worth the time, and I still more or less stand by those words. There are very few writers that can successfully explain how to be one.

So it might shock you today that I am reversing course on those words a little. That is because this is an exception to that rule. I am actually going to recommend a book on the craft of writing for fledgling writers. The reason for this is quite simple: the author of the book in question is the person who helped me the most when I was learning to write. She was the first one who explained tips and tricks in ways I could understand and apply them to my stories and make them the best I could. Because of her I finally broke the last barriers into becoming a writer. 

In other words, she is the real deal.

L. Jagi Lamplighter was the very first editor I ever had that gave me tips to drastically improve my writing and understand how to get my prose in order. If there is anyone I would fully recommend a book on writing by, it would be her. And today, she has written that very book. There was simply no way I wouldn't promote it to my readers.

The description:

Up your writing game!
Practical, hands-on fiction writing fundamentals. Delve into the secrets of writing fiction, presented in clear language to make them easily-graspable and useable.

Lamplighter brings her years of writing and editing experience to this new approach to understanding storytelling and how its many parts work together to weave a well-crafted and entertaining tale. Insights into theme, character, description, plot, portraying emotions, avoiding infodumps, dealing with tropes, and more.

New hope for writers in despair.

“The course is a treasure trove of practical, positive advice you can use immediately to improve your WIP or solidify your ideas for a new project.” Marina Fontaine, author of Chasing Freedom.

“I took L. Jagi Lamplighter Wright’s “Guinea Pig” writing class in November of 2018 and it definitely upped my game. Since “graduating” her course, I’ve sold over 30 short stories and 2 novellas (as of February 2021). Thanks, Jagi.” —James Pyles, author of multiple published short stories.

“I especially liked how you simply laid out ideas about story and characters, which instantly made me go, ‘Oh, yeah! I’ve seen that before!’... I felt that these were techniques that would have taken me ages to work out on my own, and seeing them simply stated has seriously helped me as a writer.”—Billy Charlton, teen student.

I can cosign the usefulness of her advice in full.
