I’ve read a crap-ton of books on writing. Not only how-to books, but marketing books, start to finish books, outlining, structure, story, and so on. Books from ultra-famous authors to self-published authors, short story authors, and teachers.
In fact, I’m reading about 3 right now as of this writing.
I decided to make a record of it here, with a little side bar rating for each and a blurb here and there.
Enjoy!
| Title and Author | A Little Blurb | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| On Writing by Stephen King | This is the epitome of writing books and comes highly recommended by many authors | ***** |
| Story by Robert McKee | Ok, so maybe THIS is the epitome of writing books and a must read. | ***** |
| Poetics by Aristotle | First book to describe the 3-act structure. A little dated (heh…just kidding). | **** |
| Outline Your Books or Die by Jim Driver | If you’re a pantser, this is a must read. | **** |
| Story Structure by K.M. Weiland | This is the first of at least 3 books on the list from K.M. Weiland. Read them. They’re a bit wordy, but she is very knowledgable. | **** |
| More to come… |
