The beloved writing craft books I spoofed above are:
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: The Last Book On Novel Writing You'll Ever Need by Jessica Brody
Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by Austin Kleon
The Magic Words: Writing Great Books for Children and Young Adults by Cheryl Klein
Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott
Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg
I really wanted to include Story Genius by Lisa Cron...but I couldn't find a good pun for it! :)
As far as I know, there is still no book called Killer Hooks, but it's a commonly used phrase within the writer's community--the distilled form of the writing pitch, which will (hopefully) draw in readers--and editors. Maybe youβll be the one to write it!
Which of your favorites is this list missing?
Yours craftily,
