Collection: Non-Fiction

A different brand: the Non-Fiction collection on this site is by Sacha Black — the same author as Ruby Roe, but written under a separate name for an entirely different reader.

Where Ruby Roe writes adult sapphic romantasy, Sacha Black writes craft books for fiction writers. Practical, irreverent, and built around clear step-by-step frameworks for the parts of writing most authors find hardest — antagonists, protagonists, supporting casts, prose at the sentence level, and the structural anatomy of books that actually sell.

Five titles, available in textbook, workbook, and ebook formats:

• 13 Steps to Evil — how to craft superbad villains
• 10 Steps to Hero — how to craft a kickass protagonist
• 8 Steps to Side Characters — supporting roles with intention, purpose, and power
• The Anatomy of Prose — 12 steps to sensational sentences
• The Anatomy of a Best Seller — 3 steps to deconstruct winning books and teach yourself craft
