Careers for Your Characters: A Writer's Guide to 99 Professions from Architect to Zookeeper Obstfeld, Raymond; Neumann, Franz and Neuman, Franz

A reference book that does what most writing guides don't — tells you what a forensic pathologist actually does at 3am, how architects bill clients, what zookeepers wear under their coveralls. Raymond Obstfeld delivers 99 職 profiles written for novelists who need their characters to feel real when they're at work. Each entry covers daily routines, workplace hierarchies, jargon, salary ranges, and the kind of details that separate "she's a lawyer" from "she's a third-year associate drowning in discovery documents." Whether you're writing a thriller about a bomb squad technician or a rom-com featuring a pastry chef, this guide keeps your characters from making amateur mistakes that kill credibility. Essential for genre fiction writers who care about craft.
