Just read this post on Jody Hedlund’s blog with an awesome list of books on the craft of writing suggested by a number of tweeting writers.

Here are a few more of my favorites:

How to Grow A Novel: The Most Common Mistakes Writers Make And How To Overcome Them by Sol Stein
The Plot Thickens: 8 Ways to Bring Fiction to Life by Noah Lukeman
Writing the Blockbuster Novel by Albert Zuckerman
Manuscript Makeover: Revision Techniques No Fiction Writer Can Afford to Ignore by Elizabeth Lyon
Fine Print: Reflections on the Writing Art by James J. Kilpatrick

And for anyone writing fantasy for kids, I would like to recommend:

The Green and Burning Tree: On the Writing and Enjoyment of Children’s Books by Eleanor Cameron

(And yes, for those of you who have read WW–that is where it came from. It’s been twenty years since I first read this book and it has stuck with me ever since!)

Happy reading!
