I received a free copy of this book for a fair and honest review.Let me say from the outset that I am a fan of phrase books. I think, used in the right way, they can be a source of inspiration and act as a springboard for an author to invent new, rich phrases for inclusion in their books. The book focuses on epic/high fantasy plus sword and sorcery. Saying this, there's a large cross-over benefit with horror and noir. As with the horror phrase book, there is a large section related to dying or being wounded as a result of all manner of weapons. But it doesn't stop there. We're given phrases to describe emotions, people, problems, monsters - the list goes on. Each is phrased with the fantasy genre in mind so that the author's using the examples stays true to form and setting. Chase has worked hard to make this volume cohesive and extensive. I recommend it to all writers, aspiring or established.
Fantasy Writers' Phrase Book is just one in a series of How To Books that Jackson has written for other authors, bloggers, or even college students specializing in writing courses. You can give Jackson a few words and he can make up a dozen different sentences, all action packed or whatever you need, and they all mean the same thing. The ability to learn how to do this can do nothing but help your books, blogs or whatever be more interesting to your readers. Plus it will hook your readers immediately. The versatility that Jackson displays never ceases to amaze me. This book can do nothing but help you. Go ahead and buy it. Believe me you won't be sorry.This book was given to me in exchange for an open, honest review.
I received a free copy of this book for a fair and honest review.As any writer knows, finding the right word is like hunting for a needle in a haystack. But if you're like me, a budding writer hopeful for that elusive publishing contract, hunting for the right phrase is like searching for a needle in a barn.Jackson Dean Chase has helped us budding writers combat this peculiar problems. There are other phrase books, but these volumes stand out. The Fantasy Writer's Phrase Book is no exception, He has created inspirational, compelling word pictures that help pull you back into your story. Especially helpful when your muse has decided to take a three month vacation to parts unknown. My current WIP ( coincidentally a fantasy novel) would be lost without it.
