Reading About Writing
Yesterday I got a package in the mail containing three new books on writing:
The Art and Craft of Writing Historical Fiction: Researching and Writing Historical Fiction
102 Ways to Earn Money Writing 1,500 Words or Less: The Ultimate Freelancer’s Guide
179 Ways to Save a Novel: Matters of Vital Concern to Fiction Writers
They’re all published by Writer’s Digest Books, which is really a great resource for writers. As you know, I love to read, and I strongly believe in constantly educating myself. I don’t actually write historical fiction (yet), nor am I currently trying to save a novel, but I love to read about writing — all kinds of writing! You never know where you’ll find a new perspective or piece of advice that transforms your own writing, helps you break into a new market, or simply advise someone else with wisdom and knowledge.
Besides, reading about writing is just fun.
What have you read on writing in the past year? Any classic favourites you would recommend or that you continually return to?
