Jackson Dean Chase is a USA Today bestselling author, award-winning poet, ghostwriter, and writing-craft author whose Writers' Phrase Books and Ultimate Author's Guide series have become standard references for working genre novelists. His fiction has been called irresistible in Buzzfeed and diligently crafted in The Huffington Post.
The Writers' Phrase Books series gives writers genre-specific descriptive language organized for fast lookup during a draft. Titles include the Fantasy Writers' Phrase Book, with more than three thousand five hundred phrases for weapons and combat, magic and monsters, treasure and adventure, weather and landscape, and emotion; the Horror Writers' Phrase Book, covering horror, dark fantasy, paranormal, thrillers, and urban fantasy; the Action Writers' Phrase Book; and the Romance, Emotion, and Erotica Writers' Phrase Book. The series is designed for writers who need to draft faster without losing voice.
His Ultimate Author's Guide series goes deeper into craft and worldbuilding for speculative fiction. Writing Monsters and Maniacs covers villains, supernatural creatures, aliens, robots, and anti-heroes, and includes a Custom Monster Builder system for inventing new creatures. Writing Apocalypse and Survival is a masterclass in post-apocalyptic science fiction and zombie horror, with more than one hundred and fifty plot ideas and four complete end-of-the-world plot templates. Both books are also available bundled in his Omnibus 2 edition.
As a ghostwriter and co-author, Chase has worked with celebrity clients including actors, rock stars, and YouTube influencers. With Daniel Mignault he co-authored the urban fantasy series The Gods War, which includes Titan, Titan: Kingdom of the Dead, Titan: Gift of Death, and Titan: Resurrection, available as a complete Titan Quadrilogy bundle.
