Writers really like to talk about what they do. Because of this, there’s a whole sub-genre of books about writing out there. The vast majority of them are self-help tomes dedicated to helping you find your artistic voice. And there’s a wide range of them: At one end of the self-help spectrum, there are New Agey books that promise to help you find healing in language. At the other, there are humorous, self-deprecating books that provide insights into the writer’s psyche and attempt to demystify writing craft. Anne Lamott’s classic "Bird by Bird" is one of the better of these.
And then there are practical writing manuals: These contain rules, industry standards, organizational techniques, survival tools, and other things novice writers don’t always know. Maybe you’re an English major trying to break into journalism, or an academic interested in writing for a broader audience. Maybe you’ve always wanted to write a novel and need some practical guidance on structure and story-telling. Maybe you’re a seasoned professional journalist looking to freelance or diversify your beat.
Here are some of the best of the practical books out there today – plus a few less practical ones for writers and readers that provide a creative, intellectual, or novel approach.
