Writing Books..

[umbrellabird]

I am off to the library this week and wanted to know if anyone knows any great writing books they would like to share, or just books that are simply really well written.

I love:
Anything by Natalie Goldberg or Julia Cameron especially The Wild Mind and The Sound of Paper.
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
Maeve Binchy and Elizabeth Berg both have good books on writing.
Am also reading Stein on Writing and always have Stephen Kings 'On Writing' book on hand.
And a beautifully written novel that I often fall back into is Wintering by Kate Moses.

Anyone else?

You have some good ones there, OP.

I like screenwriting books on story structure, like Story by Robert McKee. Also Into The Woods by John Yorke.

Self-editing for Fiction Writers (Browne) is also very good if you've got a first draft done.

Thanks Schmalex!

Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande is my go-to when I'm in need of inspiration.

Oh yes Mummybare, I had forgotten about that one!

Forgotten the title, but the author I got a lot out of lately was John Truby.
