3rd Edition, Updated for 2018

Writers' Tricks of the trade is like the appetizer table at a writing buffet

Tips, tricks and exercises in easy to read, sometimes humorous prose.

Morgan St. James has written over 600 published articles about the craft and business of writing and writes columns in two editions of examiner.com. She has authored or co-authored 16 books with more in the works, and speaks from experience. St. James shares what she has learned through the years, and that includes some experiences from the "School of Hard Knocks." You will also find material from her live workshops and some easy exercises at the end of select chapters. Every chapter is filled with useful information that can be used right away and inspiration about a different aspect of writing.

When she gave live workshops or talks, attendees frequently asked where they could buy her book.but she didn't have one about writing. In 2011 the first edition of Writers' Tricks of the Trade was created from several of her columns with new material added. At first it was published to be sold only at writers' conferences, but now it is available to everyone.
