12 Books That Will Make You a Better Writer
Must-read books for nonfiction writers, copywriters, and fiction writers
Stephen King observed in his memoir On Writing,
“If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that. Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life.”
Of course, all different kinds of books can help you develop your skills as a writer. Well-written novels can show you how to tell gripping stories and paint vivid pictures with your words. Motivational books about writing can help you develop your confidence and find your voice.
But in today’s article, I’m sharing twelve books that focus specifically on teaching you how to strengthen your skills as a writer and storyteller. They get into the nuts and bolts of how to structure and edit your writing so it will captivate your readers.
I’ve chosen these books because they’re the ones I find myself coming back to again and again as I always learn something new. Reading them is like sitting in on classes for an MFA in writing. But you’re able to do so in the comfort of your own home leaning back in your own favorite chair!
