Hey! Jon here. Just a heads-up that this post is over a year old and is therefore likely to be outdated.


New Writing Craft Books!

29th November, 2019 Share on Twitter


You can now read my two new writing craft books, Write Your Novel and, as of today, Beauty.

Write Your Novel is a general collection of tools and strategies for aspiring storytellers, but in a much more condensed form than my first book, The 24 Laws of Storytelling.

Beauty, which is now live, is a distilled look at awe, wonder, and the sublime in stories. My goal with this book is to show you that sublime fiction is both achievable and actionable, with examples from literature and cinema.

These two books are part of my Short Reads Collection, which I’m adding to in the coming months with further books.

Social Intelligence, or “How Not to Be a Dick at Work”

This book was my big project for 2019. I’m so proud of it, I believe it's the best work I’ve ever done.

For context, Social Intelligence is a book that shows you how an understanding of human nature can make work and life more enjoyable and much less stressful.

Much of our daily stress does not come from our workload, but instead from our interactions with other people. This book is my attempt to help you bypass this problem by taking a more empathetic approach to work and life.

You can buy the book now, and I’m expecting to release the audiobook version in January/February 2020.


Please check out The 24 Laws of Storytelling, my book that explores the principles that make some books and movies great and explains why others fail. By reading my book, you’ll gain the same strategies used by master storytellers such as Stephen King, Christopher Nolan, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and many more. Pick up your copy today.
