Books To Read On Writing
Writing is hard work! Suffice to say no writer was born knowing all the ins and out of the business. While Creativity and Imagination may come naturally, the Rules of Writing do not. Writing is something that takes lots of reading and lots of practice to become good at. These are all books that I have read over the years to improve my own writing. Some of them are on Grammar and Formatting, while others are on the Creative Aspects and Business Side of Publishing. All have been helpful in some way or another. Hopefully you will utilize this list and become a successful author.
