I'm John Matthew Fox of Bookfox and I help authors write better fiction.
Authors who worked with me have been published by Random House, sold more than 100,000 copies, and received Kirkus Starred Reviews. I've also taught writing at Chapman University and the University of Southern California (USC).
I'm the author of two books, "I Will Shout Your Name" (Press 53) and my nonfiction book for writers: "The Linchpin Writer: Crafting Your Novel's Key Moments"
You can take 10 writing courses from me with Bookfox Academy (link below).
You can also join my coaching program, Bookfox Lab, which offers weekly feedback on your writing, provides one-on-one mentorship, and guides you through the process of writing your book. (link below)

Hey Bookfoxers, what genre do you write? I'm limited to four categories, but add your genre below. If someone in the comments already listed your genre, please LIKE it rather than repeating it.

Writers, what do you need? I feel like this channel does a good job at teaching the craft of writing, but what other support do you need to write your books?

I'm working on my new course on how to write Characters, "The Character Circle", and was wondering: What's your biggest struggle with creating characters?

Just wanted to alert the Bookfox Community to a SCAM -- someone is impersonating me and emailing people who comment on my Youtube videos. CHECK THE EMAIL ADDRESS -- if it's not from bookfox.com or bookfox.co, it's not me.

Bookfox has launched the new YouTube Community feature, where YOU can post and direct the conversation! Keep your posts focused on writing related topics and keep it civil, and we should be good to go.
And hey, I just visited the birthplace of Shakespeare last week, so here’s a picture of me and the Bard!

A little foretaste of what videos are coming next week:
1. The long awaited video on how to write ANIMALS (so many of you asked for this one!)
2. A video on how to use PROFANITY well in fiction (or how to substitute more innocent swear words)
Also, I edited my Youtube Banner -- let me know if it looks good!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the 2,400 comments on my videos this week about how to write women and how to write men! I appreciated both the compliments (thank you!) and the insightful critiques.
The critiques are helpful both for future videos and if I decide to revisit this topic, and if we disagreed on a few things, that's cool -- I have two brilliant writing videos that will be less controversial coming out next week.
