I'm John Matthew Fox of Bookfox and I help authors write better fiction.
Authors who worked with me have been published by Random House, sold more than 100,000 copies, and received Kirkus Starred Reviews. I've also taught writing at Chapman University and the University of Southern California (USC).
I'm the author of two books, "I Will Shout Your Name" (Press 53) and my nonfiction book for writers: "The Linchpin Writer: Crafting Your Novel's Key Moments"
You can take 10 writing courses from me with Bookfox Academy (link below).
You can also join my coaching program, Bookfox Lab, which offers weekly feedback on your writing, provides one-on-one mentorship, and guides you through the process of writing your book. (link below)

I just heard of an expensive writing program switching to AI feedback for its authors. At Bookfox Lab, we're sticking to 100% human feedback. Writers, what's your perspective?

Great example of book marketing from my friend Ramona Ausubel! Look at the size (and graphics!) of the sleeve they used to ship the book! If you can send out physical books, this is the way to get attention (rather than some anonymous manila envelope). Make a splash!
FYI, her craft book for writers is called Unstuck (if you couldn't tell) and comes out April 14th. amzn.to/4sp5u7v

Hey Bookfoxers, what genre do you write? I'm limited to four categories, but add your genre below. If someone in the comments already listed your genre, please LIKE it rather than repeating it.

Writers, what do you need? I feel like this channel does a good job at teaching the craft of writing, but what other support do you need to write your books?

Just wanted to alert the Bookfox Community to a SCAM -- someone is impersonating me and emailing people who comment on my Youtube videos. CHECK THE EMAIL ADDRESS -- if it's not from bookfox.com or bookfox.co, it's not me.
