Fewer words. Sharper stories. Bigger impact.
Stuck in prose that drags? Worried readers are skimming past your descriptions to get back to the story? Time to say F*ck the Details and write fiction that moves.
Description doesn't have to be a speed bump. Used right, it disappears — and the story keeps moving. Used wrong, it grinds everything to a halt, and your reader puts the book down.
Sawyer Black has spent years studying what makes prose work — and, more importantly, what stops it cold. F*ck the Details is the no-fluff guide to writing descriptions that earn their place on the page, cut what doesn't, and keep your reader hooked to the end.
If Strunk & White's "omit needless words" shaped how you think about prose, this is the version of that lesson built specifically for fiction writers in 2026.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Trust your reader to fill in the obvious — and learn exactly which details they want you to skip Show character through action, so the story keeps moving instead of grinding to a halt Identify the details that earn their place — and cut everything that doesn't Pace your scenes through prose, not just plot — the difference between a book readers race through and one they abandon See it in action through Sawyer's before-and-after examples, so you don't have to guess at what tighter prose actually looks likeWhether you're working on your first chapter or your fortieth, F*ck the Details gives you the rules of thumb, the mindset, and the muscle memory to write leaner, faster, more readable fiction.
Trim the bloat. Up the action. F*ck the details.
