Write Good or Die free writing manual

Scott Nicholson · 04-14-2010, 10:38 AM

Haunted Computer Books just released the free writing manual "Write Good or Die", with contributions by Kevin J. Anderson, Heather Graham, J.A. Konrath, Jonathan Maberry, Gayle Lynds, M.J. Rose, and more: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/13037

It will be up at Amazon soon for 99 cents, with all proceeds benefiting Literacy Inc. Our contributors have sold millions of books and the advice is sometimes unconventional. Thanks and hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for this! I like several of those authors; looks like this could be a fun read! I added it over at goodreads.com so I could put it on my virtual TBR list there.

Just letting everyone know this is still available for free (though 99 cents for Kindle at Amazon). You can also download it athttp://www.hauntedcomputer.com/writegood.htm

The download at your website doesn't work correctly. In Firefox I click on the Mobi file and it sends me to a page with gobbledygook on it. Same with the ePub. The PDF is fine.

I found a plugin for ePub and now the ePub link works correctly. However, I can't find one for Mobipocket files in Firefox.

You might want to make a note of the required plugins or make the file an actual download.
