The Man

Every day of the year, multi-published instructor Craig Strickland sends out a new Tweet (or “post,” as X calls it) offering tips and inspiration for your writing.

The Plan

The Tweets cover a wide range of writing procedure, including the psychology behind fiction writing, the mechanics necessary to produce it effectively, and the methods by which writers can get their words seen. In this space I’ll flesh out and discuss the concepts behind the Tweets by category, aiming to encourage, give guidance and offer food for thought along the way.

Maybe you’ve got a novel incubating in you, or have several books under your belt, or perhaps you’re a reader simply interested in the process. There’ll be something for everyone, including fiction. Join me and see. New issues are emailed to your inbox every two weeks.

How much does it cost, man?

For a limited time, you can subscribe for free and receive most of my issues, have access to the archive, and be able to post comments.

You can also pay a modest fee for a li’l extra. Premium subscribers receive periodic exclusive content over time. Plus you’ll support my writing journey (meaning that you’ll feel good about yourself AND receive my undying gratitude). One last perk to going premium: after being a paying subscriber for 6 months, you’ll be mailed a collectible Scary Stories book (written for middle-readers, 8 -12 years old) of your choice, personally signed to whomever you wish!
