My first thought upon taking a look at Writers Tricks of the Trade
was, “Why wasn’t there something like this around when I began
writing?”
~Marilyn Meredith,
the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series.
“Whether you are a novice or an experienced author, you'll find this
book so full of vital information, you'll want to explore every page.
Best of all, it's written in clear, lively prose."
~Maralys Wills, author of
Higher Than Eagles and

“Writers’ Tricks of the Trade is a treasure trove of practical advice.
Morgan St James covers all aspects of fiction writing from original
concept through to publication, networking and publicity. Her voice
is experienced, encouraging and sincere. I would recommend this
book to anyone engaged in the difficult, often mysterious business
of writing.”
Gayle Sutherland, Convenor, Partners in Crime, Australia
“Having watched Ms. St. James progress from a writer into an au-
thor, I applaud her effort in guiding new writers into this, at times,
frustrating industry. Writers’ Tricks of the Trade is a no-nonsense
approach to the basics all writers must know to become well-known
authors. After all, as the old adage says, ‘You have to know the
rules before you can break them.’”
