Don't Just Buy Writing Books - Read Them!


In A Writer's Obsession, I listed the 28 books I have on my shelf on the craft of writing. In My Audiobooks, I told you how many I have on my iPhone. Today I have to 'fess up to the many books on the craft of writing I have purchased from Amazon for my Kindle. Don't pat me on the back yet, I think I've only read six.


Save the Cat – Blake Snyder


Adventures in Fantasy – John Gust


How to Write a Great Query Letter – Noah Lukeman


100 Ways to Market Your Book for Free – Carol Denbow


A Book Inside, How to Write, Publish, and Sell Your Story – Carol Denbow


Story Engineering – Larry Brooks


Children’s Writer’s Word Book - Alijandra Mogilner


Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks – John Curran


Painless Writing – Jeffrey Strausser


The Book on Writing – Paula LaRocque


Seize the Story – Victoria Hanley


Creating Characters and Plots – Roger Burt


Hooked – Les Edgerton


Manuscript Makeover – Elizabeth Lyon


How to Write Killer Fiction – Carolyn Wheat


Youdunit Whodunit! – Nicola Furlong


Write a Novel in 30 Days – Sara McGrath

My pick from the one's I've read so far would be Hooked and Manuscript Makeover. I definitely need to read more writing books and buy less.
