About the Webinar:

Critical plot points often hinge on characters' use of firearms and knives. However, many writers fall victim to pop culture cliches that don't accurately represent these important items. From terminology to tactics, depicting firearms and knives correctly can establish authority with an audience, make your writing stand out and prevent plot holes the size of bullet wounds.

In this presentation, Ben Sobieck, author of the Weapons for Writers: A Practical Reference for Using Firearms and Knives in Fiction (Writer's Digest Books, Summer 2015), will boil the complex world of firearms and knives into key points you can use right away to avoid the trope trap.

It doesn't matter if you grew up around these items or have no interest in ever even seeing a gun, you'll have a firm grasp of key concepts and a leg up in the competitive writing market.

What you'll learn:

  • The best-kept secret to writing firearms and knives like a pro without knowing anything about them
  • The top 10 firearm and knife depictions most writers get wrong and how to get them right
  • True stories of what it's like to be shot and stabbed, as told by writers who have experienced both first-hand
  • The 10 go-to firearms and knives to write into any scene
  • Key terminology for a bullseye every time
  • Much, much more from a presenter who works full-time in firearm/knife publishing and writes fiction on the side

One of the most important books of recent decades
Format: Paperback
It’s daunting (many of Robinson’s footnotes are like fascinating blogposts about history, so it’s a lot to get through, let alone think about. But Robinson's deeply-researched account of a Black radicalism independent of European ideas is enlightening. Robin Kelley's introduction to the new edition is worth reading on its own.

Loved by an 8 year old
I bought this for my friend’s son when they were taking an 8 hour train ride to Washington DC. He loved the activities and reading about all of the DC sites! It kept him occupied for the majority of the train ride and he carried it with him when they went site seeing! It was age appropriate and developmentally appropriate as well. Just make sure to pack a pencil and crayons too!

Excellent for Elementary Aged Kids!
We bought a second after seeing how great this travel guide is so both of our elementary age kids could have their own. I will buy this brand of travel guide anytime we go anywhere they offer one. It is informative but also has lots of different activities. I highly recommend this.

This book is great for kids that already know how to read and ...
Format: Kindle
This book is great for kids that already know how to read and it’s actually teaching them how to use a travel guide too. I like that kids can get away from their electronical devices. Could be great for homeschooling resource even if you don’t plan to visit. I downloaded 3 guides until now: Los Angeles, San Diego and Washington, DC (the latest). My kids enjoyed each and every one of them. I plan to purchase the physical books also
