Seek no more, oh ye seekers of truth
Over the past couple of months, we’ve released two books: GETTING PUBLISHED and 52 LETTERS. Reader response to those books has been lovelier than a basket of white roses brought to you by a unicorn.
This week, we’ve released the third book in that trilogy. It’s called HOW TO WRITE, and it’s about – duh! – how to conceive, plan, write and edit your novel.
It’s a massively practical book. With lots of “how to” and “how very damn not to” examples taken from a huge variety of actual bestselling books. If the book doesn’t help you write better, I promise to eat my own leg in penance.
Now, as a way to celebrate the completion of the trilogy, and as a way to wave goodbye to the Summer Festival, for just a few days only, we’re making all the books as cheap as we can:
HOW TO WRITE
Ebook $0.99 / Print $10.99 / Kindle Unlimited $0.00
My best attempt to set down everything I know about conceiving, planning, writing and editing a novel.
“I must have read 50 books on writing, style, editing etc, but I found Bingham’s book in a way the most useful of all.”—Reader Review
GETTING PUBLISHED
Ebook $0.99 / Print $9.99 / Kindle Unlimited $0.00
Your one-stop bible for everything to do with getting an agent, getting a book deal – and getting published well.
“Truly, the best book I’ve read on publishing. The truth and nothing but the truth no matter how hard hitting. It will save you much heartbreak.”—Reader Review
52 LETTERS
Ebook $0.99 / Print $8.99 / Kindle Unlimited $0.00
A compilation of my Friday emails – mad, discursive, practical, and enthused.
“Not since Stephen King’s On Writing have I so valued a writer’s writing on writing! These aren’t just 52 Letters—they’re 52 love letters.”—John David Mann
All prices ping back to full price on Sunday, so grab your bargains while you can. And just think. For just three crinkly little dollars you could give your writing library a fancy new lease of life. Be crazy not to, huh?
Next week, I’ll have some data on this promo. What worked and what didn’t. It’s the first time we’ll have used Facebook ads at scale for a book promotion, so we’ll let you know how those went. As ever, we’ll be ruthlessly honest about our experience, so you can start to get a feel for exactly how online publishing works.
As you know, I’m an author first and a Jericho Writers person second – and author-me would really love it if you went out and bought one or more of those books. I raise my hat to you, and will name my next child after you to boot.
The books look great. Question, however. The latest book, How to Write, is not in paperback on Amazon. Will it be? Is there another place to purchase it in paperback? Thanks!
Good question. I can’t/won’t buy digital books. I’ve recently bought 52 Letters, ostensibly for my husband as I had the benefit of all the emails as they came. But no, they’re just as entertaining and practical second-time round, so I’ve refused to hand it over.
I bought the husband some mead instead. Will that help his writing too, I wonder?
Ooh, love mead! Makes me feel like an Anglo Saxon, maybe a Viking, a Valkyrie 🙂
Maybe he should write about those things instead? But no, colonial invasion and resistance is his theme.
I was also expecting the print version of this book to be available on Amazon…. Anywhere else? Look forward to it!
A cheeky question (and hopefully an honest answer): is the How to Write book basically an amalgamation of the online Jericho course you did? I ask because although the course was very insightful, I’ve done it and if the material is very repetitive I’m not sure I’ll get that much out of it. If that’s the case, I’d happily recommend it on a writers’ group I’m in, but I might save my dollar for a third of a glass of wine (OK, that sounds pathetic…a dollar does NOT go very far!).
PS. If I DO end up buying it, I at least want a character named after me 😉
It goes a lot deeper than the online courses. There’s a section on breaking down scenes that I’ve never encountered anywhere else in as much detail, which is worth the price of the book.
Well, thanks to Rick, I’ve bought two of them. My liver will thank you for it 😉
If we all buy them your next child is going to have a lot of names😀I too don’t do ebooks and would like to purchase how to write as a paperback if possible
Bought How to Write and Getting Published, in the hope that one day I will be! I don’t want a child named after me, though thanks. Maybe a bridge. Better still, a comic book character with a secret identity 😂
I know an author who auctioned (for charity) the chance to feature as a character in one of her historical crime novels. The result was a wonderfully musical woman and all sorts of interesting bits about medieval music learning.
