You've Been Called.
You have a gift, but it’s not enough. Deep magic isn’t a spontaneous explosion of creative energy. That burns too hot. It’s unstable and unpredictable. Real power comes from deliberation, skill and craft. But you need a guide to unlock a writing practice that ignites your true potential. This is it.

This is not a book. It’s an initiation.
You’re here because you love the alchemical process where your creativity and inspiration bleed onto the page. You’ve tasted the power of using letters to communicate ideas and cast spells, bewitching readers and captivating them with the powers of your mind.
You’ve got a taste for it, but you want more. So you’ve sought me out, and here we are. This information took me decades to uncover, and I don’t reveal it lightly. Not every author is ready to hear the valuable lessons I’m about to share with you, but this book isn’t for them. It’s for you.

This book is not a call to minimize the importance of magic, only to resurrect the ancient truth that the muse comes to those who are prepared and willing; that magic needs focus, will and attention, and that all true magic requires work and sacrifice. This book is a call to make yourself worthy to respect the craft that is and always has been the ritualistic basis for literary excellence.
This is not about finding courage or chasing fairy dust. It’s about building a reliable, ritualistic, craft-based writing practice based on rules and shortcuts and templates and story outlines, so you can finish more of your best work faster and unlock masterful prose that will bring you results.
You have a story to share, knowledge or wisdom to impart, or a message that you know is powerful enough to change lives and hearts, but you’re stuck on the practical pursuit of getting words on the page. How do you know if it’s good enough? What if nobody likes it? Luckily, there are specific, actionable writing strategies you can use right now to not only get your book finished and published, but make it 10X better than anything else on the market.
Because the truth is, there’s never been a guide like this before, with insider secrets only a handful of authors know. The nonfiction section of Book Craft is as concise as it is revolutionary. It’ll help you avoid the critical mistakes most authors make, so that you can write and launch your best book and charm hearts and minds.

Real Magic? Or just a trick?
Who am I? We’ll get to that later. Right now, let’s talk about you and what’s holding you back. You’re determined to improve your writing, because you respect your audience enough to give them your best work. You’re excited about the story you’re drafting, but not sure if you have the right skills to do it justice. You want to sell more books, without selling your soul or giving up the reason you started writing in the first place: that magical feeling of discovery, when the pages come alive in unpredictable ways.
This book is not about prioritizing the structure, rules, process instead of allowing the magic to happen; it’s about coaxing the magic, the ritual, to inspire confidence, which will lead to progress. Book Craft is about the magical technique of creating sustainable, reliable bouts of creative genius to get more of your best words on the page, with less of the fears, doubts or indecision most writers face.
I want you to become a master conjurer. A sorcerer of words. I’ll give you the structure and ritual you need so you can cast powerful spells over your readers.

Derek Murphy
Derek’s obession with literature led to a PhD, two failed Fulbrights to study vampires in Romania, four castle writing retreats. And now… This.
His YouTube videos have gotten nearly 3 million views, and been heralded as “mumbling at a pace.” When not suffering migraines on the couch (Yes, Netflix, I’m still watching!) he chases street cats, worries about things he said years ago and sometimes goes on a manic productivity bender.
He’s currently working on nine unfinished series and has an #amwriting tattoo.
SO MUCH CLEARER
“I was always puzzled when people told me I needed to add more conflict, or add more tension and I was never sure what that meant or how to it, but now it’s a lot clearer for me. I have paid so much money for courses and books and editors that won’t reach 15% of the knowledge you share.”
★★★★★
INSPIRATION
“I can not thank you enough. Before this I was just winging it and hit a dead end with what amounted to a short story rather than a novel. Your structure has helped motivate me again and flesh out my plot in a proper way to build suspense. What a treasure and inspiration you are to amateur writers everywhere.”
★★★★★
100% SOLVED
“I have been a frustrated author for a few decades and the main problem was how to get started. You have 100% solved this for me. I have looked at several options but none have seemed right for me and many were over complicated to grasp. Your way of explaining is absolutely brilliant and within a couple of days I have learnt more than I have in years.”

WORTH IT
“I’ve been writing and learning for a decade and still found every section useful. I now I have a nonfiction book idea and a clearer path toward my fiction goals. If you’ve been looking for a writing program that’s fit for newbies but works for experts as well, this is it, and it’s a fraction of the price of people with similar credentials.”
★★★★★
WORTH IT
“Huge fan of your 25-chapter plot template. I’ve read all the classics – Save the Cat, Story, etc. – many times over & the way you map out and describe the narrative flow really evokes logical scenes.”

ADVENTURE IN WORDS
”I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for coming into my life. I am confident that I have the vision and imagination to become a good writer and your assessment of my very first series has been a humbling and uplifting experience. You have already helped to upgrade and transform not only my writing but, magically, made me examine where my adventure in words will take me.”
★★★★★
PURPOSE OF SOUL
“These words (all of them) are like breath and water for my soul. They describe my condition, my existence, my desire and ambition, and my realizations and knowings, longings in every way. Grief! I am in love with the word craft and I die inside with longing to release what it is that resides in my own heart (hopefully ego aside), fulfillment of the purpose of my soul.”
