Please Don't Make Me Read This - Coming 2026!
About
This is the book I wish I'd had when I started out.
The book I didn't know I would need -- because you don't know what you don't bloody know.
And it's only the tip of the iceberg.
Gird thyself for a tsunami of information wherein I pull back the curtain on my life as a writer, author, editor, and publisher and then OVERWHELM you with craft advice (with plenty of examples featuring my long-time fictional friend Tabitha Brookstone), endless resources for further study, publishing talk, the BUSINESS OF BOOKS, and way too many mixed metaphors (my favourite) ... it's twenty-one-plus years' worth of blog and Substack articles I never made time to write.
Even when the zombies take over and Tabitha is our only hope of survival, my #1 mission will continue to focus on helping writers make the best books they can. (OK, maybe my #2 mission after securing safe drinking water and weapons and toilet paper.)
