…<\/p>\n

Be advised<\/strong><\/em>: I sell the PDF through Paypal. I’ll send you the e-book directly via email after you purchase: generally speaking<\/em>, you will receive the file within an hour of purchase. But sometimes Paypal mysteriously delays alerting me, or something I’m asleep (like, say, if you order the book at midnight EST).<\/p>\n

Just to be safe, I’ll say that you will receive the file within 12 hours of ordering.<\/p>\n

Though again, that’s an extreme case.<\/p>\n

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…<\/p>\n

What’s In The Book?<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf it weren’t for Chuck Wendig’s advice, I’d have fallen off the writing map long ago. This is the book you want stapled to your chest when you march into the battle of authorship!\u201d \u2013 Karina Cooper, author of BLOOD OF THE WICKED<\/p>\n

\u201cChuck Wendig hammers out writing and career advice that’s always brave, profane, creative, clever, and honest. And don’t forget hilarious. You’ll never laugh so hard learning so much.” \u2013 Matt Forbeck, game designer and author of AMORTALS and VEGAS KNIGHTS.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time once more for a grim and greasy descent into the penmonkey\u2019s world as Chuck Wendig offers up a gonzo NSFW look at what life is like as a writer.<\/p>\n

REVENGE OF THE PENMONKEY takes writers through their paces and karate-chops them in the trachea with a no-holds-barred drill sergeant approach to a writing career. Wendig — equal parts novelist, game designer, screenwriter and all-around freelance penmonkey \u2013 gives a candid and hilarious look at what it takes to survive as a modern day inkslinger.<\/p>\n

Features 30 essays such as:<\/p>\n

\u201cHow To Tell If You\u2019re A Writer\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow To Jumpstart A Stalled Novel\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPanster Versus Plotter\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSix Signs You\u2019re Not Ready To Be A Professional Writer\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy Writers Drink\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWord-Karate: On Writing Action Scenes\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWriters Should Be Motherf**king Rock Stars\u201d<\/p>\n

Also features the Second Writer’s Prayer (“The Inkslinger’s Invocation”), a 10,000-word “memoir” called “True<\/span> Confessions Of A Freelance Penmonkey” and 20+ questions with Chuck Wendig.<\/p>\n

Be advised: This is not a book for writers with weak constitutions or delicate hearts. If you blanch, balk and stammer at bad words and spluttering invective, this is not the book for you. If you are averse to a camping hatchet forged from the metals of unrefined honesty cleaving your face and brain in twain, then once again, this is not the book for you. If you want your hand held? Forget this book. If you want touchy-feely-tickly empowerment? Forget this book. If you find that satire gives you hemmorhoids? Forget this book.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to go big and go bold? Are you ready to bleed on the page for your work? Then gaze into the unblinking eye of REVENGE OF THE PENMONKEY, a book of humorous writer-focused essays and articles of booze-soaked, profanity-brined writing advice.<\/p>\n
