===Writing=== In addition to acting and occasionally directing, Campbell has become a writer, starting with an autobiography, ''If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor'', published in June 2001.<ref name="Campbell2001">{{Cite book|last=Campbell|first=Bruce|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EWj-5cmjxakC|title=If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor|date=June 23, 2001|publisher=Macmillan|isbn=978-0-312-24264-0|language=en}}</ref> The autobiography was a successful [[The New York Times Best Seller list|''New York Times'' Best Seller]].<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/01/07/08/bsp/besthardnonfiction.html | work=[[The New York Times]] |title=Best Sellers Plus|date=July 8, 2001}}</ref> It describes Campbell's career to date as an actor in low-budget movies and television, providing his insight into "[[Cinema of the United States|Blue-Collar Hollywood]]".<ref name="Campbell2001" /> The paperback version of the book adds details about the reactions of fans during book signings: "Whenever I do mainstream stuff, I think they're pseudo-interested, but they're still interested in seeing weirdo, offbeat stuff, and that's what I'm attracted to".<ref name="Campbell2001" /> Campbell's next book ''[[Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way]]'' was published on May 26, 2005. The book's plot involves him (depicted in a comical way) as the main character struggling to make it into the world of [[A-list]] movies.<ref>{{cite book|title=Make Love!

This radio drama was released by the independent label Rykodisc and spans six discs with a six-hour running time. In addition to his books, Campbell also wrote a column for ''X-Ray Magazine'' in 2001, an issue of the popular comic series ''[[The Hire]]'', and comic book adaptations of his ''Man with the Screaming Brain''. Most recently he wrote the introduction to [[Josh Becker (filmmaker)|Josh Becker]]'s ''The Complete Guide to Low-Budget Feature Filmmaking''. In late 2016, Campbell announced that he would be releasing a third book, ''Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B Movie Actor,'' which will detail his life from where ''If Chins Could Kill'' ended. ''Hail to the Chin'' was released in August 2017, and accompanied by a book tour across the United States and Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bruce-campbell.com/newsroom.asp?specific=747|title=Newsroom - Bruce-Campbell.com|website=www.bruce-campbell.com|access-date=July 6, 2017}}</ref> Campbell maintained a weblog on his official website, where he posted mainly about politics and the movie industry. However, the website has since been deleted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bruce-campbell.com/blog.asp|title=Bruce Campbell Blog}}</ref>
