How to Write a Dick: A Guide for Writing Fictional Sleuths from a Couple of Real-Life Sleuths
by Shaun Kaufman, Colleen Collins
“I was surprised how much I learned and how much fun this book is. It’s a ‘what’s going on in the field’ that’s like a pre-write fact checker…It can stand alone as an insider’s guide to the world – the real world – of the private detective.” ~David Y.B. Kaufmann
“If [this book] had been around when I was fiction editor for THE THRILLING DETECTIVE WEB SITE, my job would have been much easier.” ~Gerald So, editor, writer, book reviewer, moderator DetecToday
“Forget Google and Bing. When you need to research PI work, go to the experts, Colleen Collins and Shaun Kaufman: they live it, they teach it, they write it. How to Write a Dick is the best work of its kind I’ve ever come across because it covers the whole spectrum in an entertaining style that will appeal to layman and lawmen alike. This will be the industry standard for years to come.” —Reed Farrel Coleman, three-time Shamus Award winner for Best PI Novel of the Year and author of Hurt Machine
“If you want authenticity in creating a fictional private investigator for your stories, then this is a must-have reference book. Its authors, Colleen and Shaun, are living breathing PIs with years of actual experience in the PI game.” —R.T. Lawton, 25 years on the street as a federal special agent and author of 4 series in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine
