Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do.

What's the difference between you and them? They actually did it. You didn't."

The memoir of a neuroscientist whose research led him to a bizarre personal discovery, James Fallon had spent an entire career studying how our brains affect our behavior when his research suddenly turned personal. While studying brain scans of several family members, he discovered that one perfectly matched a pattern he’d found in the brains of serial killers. This meant one of two things: Either his family’s scans had been mixed up with those of felons or someone in his family was a psychopath.

Description
Most people think the way to write a best seller is to have a lot of talent and even more luck. As you will learn, there is a recipe for success, and luck may be the least important ingredient in creating a best seller.
When it comes to solving the mystery of what makes a best-selling novel, no one has cracked the code better than James Scott Bell. A best-selling author himself, winner of the International Thriller Writers Award and the Christy Award for Suspense, plus the author of the number-one best seller for writers, Plot & Structure, Mr. Bell has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style.
In the 24 lectures of How to Write Best-Selling Fiction, Mr. Bell provides a comprehensive, eye-opening, and illuminating survey of the entire writing process, as well as a full breakdown of how best-selling authors such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Michael Connelly, Suzanne Collins, Janet Evanovich, and dozens of others have implemented best practices in their own writing.
From fun creative challenges to help you get started with unique plot and character ideas to how to format, package, and promote your finished material - with help dotting every "i" and crossing every "t" along the way - Mr. Bell offers an insightful, intimate, and extraordinarily revealing look at the elements that elevate a novel to become a best seller. Any aspiring author will gain a wealth of tools that will not only improve their ability to write, but will also increase their enjoyment of the craft.
The famous writer Somerset Maugham once said, “There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” And maybe no one knows the “rules”, but there are writing techniques, practices, and fundamentals that writers have used for decades to become best-selling authors. And just like Picasso, once you master the basics of your art, then you can create your own rules. With How to Write Best-Selling Fiction, you get an intimate introduction to the fundamentals of how to write your best seller, from a best-selling author who has mastered the secrets to success.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Featured Article: 10 Audiohacks that Will Teach You How to Write
The art of writing is both exciting and intimidating. While you may have a story to tell, knowing how to focus and begin telling that story is hard. Similarly, honing your writing and taking it from a first draft to an engaging narrative, and perhaps even best seller, is a different struggle again. Here we’ve compiled a list of ten audiobooks on writing well. Whether it's your first book, you're writing a memoir, a kids book, fiction or nonfiction, these titles will help you strengthen your skills and set yourself up for success.

This is just what I needed at this time of writing. I keep starting and never finishing my fiction novels. I'm going through this with a book and pen and adding in the pieces that I'm missing and finish my novel. thanks. The only thing I wished is there were notes or check list we could have printed off because with audio you cannot just highlight certain areas and the memory, not the best :)

Very helpful for anyone starting out
James does a superb job of walking you through what I assume are the basics of writing. I listened to this book about a third of the way through writing my first novel and wish I had had it sooner. In my opinion, this course helped me improve my writing. I also prefer courses that are 12 hours. The 24-hour great courses can be a bit of a slog if you're not in love with the topic. This one was just right. Well done!

This is a great resource
I have researched how to write over the last ten years, but I clearly was missing what I needed to accomplish what I wanted to do. This course did that and I'm please with my effort. I was stuck at 25,000 shooting for 90,000 and was able to get to the 60,000 point in less than four weeks. I'm very curious about signposts and I do plan on exploring more - which what has been missing in my tool chest for years.

Will make you want to run out and grab pad and pen.
Loved the audio book, hated the music.
I can’t tell you how many times I paused the audio so I could jot down a note, and they just kept coming. I love the ideas and the way they were presented, to be given examples really helps the listener to get a clear picture of what the author is saying. I just finished the book, and I am going to start back at the beginning and listen to it one more time. I might need another note pad

Makes The Craft Less Daunting
A great course for any beginner writer, or anyone who is seasoned and needs a reminder of the basics. James Scott Bell goes over the fundamentals and offers options for panters, planners, those who want to go trade and those who want to go indie. I found many of the lessons to be familiar, but I also learned new concepts that will help elevate my craft.
The narration is uplifting and simple to follow, and offers new writers some challenges to maintain a good work ethic. It works as a source of enthusiasm, encouragement, and offers plenty of quotes to prove that the challenge of writing full time can be achieved. It covers all aspects of publishing, from conception to editing, to querying and marketing. Definitely a recommended listen for new and intermediate authors everywhere.

Great for screenwriters, too!
Lately, I have been listening to numerous books on screenwriting—it keeps me from actually Whittington words on the page! Despite the fact that this offering from The Great Courses is marketed for novelists, not only is it an excellent course for those who are crafting other forms of fiction, including film scripts, but it is among the best!
The writer/narrator offers practical advice and examples as well as exercises at the end of each chapter, so the listener/student can apply the lessons learned.

I'm a writer and this course is to blame.
In my Audible library most of the 70 finished titles are related to the art of writing. In my actual library at home there are more hardcovers and paperbacks on the same subject . And yet, I could never convince myself that I can write a complete novel or anything fictional. I've written weekly articles for my blog, lengthy Instagram posts , and occasional poetry. I love writing, but I am intimidated by the idea of writing fiction and showing it to another soul.
This course, I believe, gently but convincingly took my fears away. It is written in such a respectful manner , with so much kindness for every fellow writer or those who only dream of becoming a writer , that you simply let the author take your hand and lead you on this journey. Step by step, no rush. You'll stumble and hesitate, but as soon as you hear the voice of James Scott Bell and truly listen to his thoughtful , practical advice, you will get into the state of "why not?" and "what if I just make my story go this way..?" . And for better or worse , you begin to believe in your story and your own writing staring back at you from the screen or paper.
Thank you! I wish I found this course sooner.

I cast more than one line into the sea of readers, in fact five books full, with very few nibbles. Two were with trational publishers and my success was underwhelming. I felt like quitting, and living out my life on some river bank.
I put the course on my RV radio as I drove 4 hours to get to Vancouver.
First stop Staples to have the PDF’s printed.
Second stop, my favorite campground, Walmart, where i laid on the bed for two days and listened to and read what James has to say.
This course is well written, of course, and full of easy to follow ideas. It is hard to pause and James’s voice is smooth and easy to listen too.
I saw all kinds of ideas jumping in my steam of thoughts.
First thought was where did these bad fishy thoughts come from, I hate fishing.
I'm going to be a writer instead, watch for me.
If you want to be a writer, start here, but do it now while you're young like me.

Outstanding, practical advice for writers
I loved the practical and extensive content of this lecture series by Mr. Bell. He covers a wide array of topics from brain-storming to getting published, and always provides concrete examples to demonstrate his points. I especially appreciated that Bell is specific, but thorough with his advice, and doesn’t try to over-generalize his lessons with vague terminology, as so many writing courses tend to do. With each lesson, Bell makes his point clearly and concisely with little fuss, giving you exactly what you need to know without the extraneous fluff. Using this style, Bell is able to cover a lot of good material at an easily comprehensible pace that is neither too slow, nor too fast.
If you’re looking for a course that offers practical, usable writing advice (as I was), I highly recommend this lecture series.

Best Writing Course Ever
I've been to various writing conferences, been the VP of a large Creative Writing club, and read many books and courses on creative writing. This course is by far the most useful, clear, and honest writing course I've ever had the pleasure of taking. If you only ever take one course in creative writing, this is the course you should choose.

Holy "How to Write Fiction" Batman!
I cannot give this work enough stars! I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who desires to improve their writing.
From my first listen, I knew I had found a crucial tool for my "I want to write a novel" toolkit. I've read several books on writing craft, all of which are valuable. James Scott Bell's work, "How to Write Best-Selling Fiction" is actually a phenomenal writing course. His instruction is clear and concise. The audiobook is structured in chapters as lectures which cover the art of the story and how to develop ideas, structure, plot & scene development, character development, and dialog. He also discussed the vast and complex world of publishing. Quite the eye-opener for me. This audiobook also comes with an extensive PDF file that is extremely valuable!
I've listened to the book all the way through the first time, which was like trying to drink from a fire hose! So much information. The second time through, I used it as an actual writing class and listened while in front of my computer, or with a notebook, taking detailed notes. Now, I am combing through certain sections with my WIP opened on my computer, and doing a lot of tweaking.
Excellent work Mr. Bell. Thank you.

LISTEN - AND YOUR SCRIPT WILL START WRITING ITSELF
Mr. Bell, who gave up the idea of becoming an author, embarked on a career as a lawyer, until watching Moonstruck, when he stepped through the Doorway of No Return, and became an awarded, best-selling author.
I'm writing non-fiction, but I've had this idea for a fictional story percolating in my mind for more than 10 years. I didn't get this book with the specific purpose of actually getting started writing that book (time!). However, listening to this on dog-walks, while driving and swimming, the book has essentially written itself. The main plot-turns, the character conflicts and resolutions, the interactions and conflicts with other characters are simply falling into place. It's just born out of listening to this book.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
Listen, get inspired and let your imagination run, then jot down your ideas.
The PDF-companion is an excellent, word-economical companion, guide and resource that makes you move at speed. It's like having a paved road, with fences on both sides - you can just GO, fast.
