Die Well: A Writer's Guide To Medical Mayhem

Geared toward fiction writers, this guide addresses some of the most common medical scenarios that may come up in your work and how you should deal with them so your readers don’t throw your book across the room.

Did you use an animal tranquilizer to sedate a human as it was the first thing that came up in your internet search? Did your protagonist take a fall then walk on a broken ankle without so much as a limp? Did your character pass out then get right back up like they had a nice little nap?

All of those are bad and will annoy anyone who has even a passing familiarity with medicine.

Short and to the point, this writing guide will save you hours of internet searches that will either yield some questionable results or make no sense unless one speaks Fancy Medical. Written in plain language, Die Well will help you kill your darlings with precision. Horrify your readers (and the medical professional in your life) with chillingly accurate descriptions of agony, trauma, and other things that happen when your character meets their end, or how they manage things should they survive what’s befallen them.
