Books for Writers

If you’re thinking about writing a thriller (or screenplay), or even just a great novel, you really should take a look at these books by James N. Frey. As far as I’m concerned, these books are the best guides you can find. There are a total of five books in the "Damn Good" series, but you should own at least these three.

Frey delves into every aspect of novel creation. You’ll learn how to develop your idea and create compelling characters. He shows you how to create an opening that will grab your reader, then teaches you how to create a climax so powerful that your readers will look forward to your next book. Plot twists, tension, and thrilling action are the key to writing that next bestseller, and he has plenty of great advice and examples to take advantage of.

The "Damn Good" books are short but so filled with information and advice that you’ll wonder how he stuffed it all into those few pages. And they are definitely not dull. You’ll appreciate his humor and down-to-earth advice. And perhaps best of all, you’ll leave convinced that you, too, can write a great book.

Frey has lectured and taught at some of the best-known writer’s schools and conferences. He’s an award-winning author of plays and novels. He has written nine novels, one of which was nominated for the prestigious Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. Another was chosen as a Literary Guild selection.

The man knows what he’s talking about. You can’t go wrong by trying out at least one of his books.
