She has authored or co-authored 18 books with more in the works, and speaks from experience.

Every chapter is filled with useful information and inspiration about a different aspect of writing. St. James shares what she has learned through the years, and that includes some experiences from the "School of Hard Knocks."

When giving live workshops or talks, attendees frequently asked where they could buy her book and she didn't have one about writing. Writers' Tricks of the Trade was created from several of her columns with new material added. At first it was published to only be sold at writers' conferences, but now it is available to everyone in paperback, ePub and Kindle.  More information about St. James at www.morganstjames-author.com.
