Recs if you like The Writing Life...

Think of this as your reading glow up! These books will teach you to slow down, look closer, and find what authors are hiding underneath a great sentence. The goal isn't to ace an exam - it's to get more out of every book you read, feel more confident in the forums or at book club, and learn to trust your instincts as a reader. One rule: Start with the book that excites you the most, not the one that sounds the most impressive. Your future self, thriving in the forums, will thank you!!

Nonfiction books on how to write -in all different genres- well. (Not so much about publishing, just writing for the joy of creating).

Because what's better than procrastinating writing by reading what other people have written about writing??

From creative to academic writing, a collection of books to help in the art of capturing the inexpressibly of being human. Work in progress.

Every writer has that stage in their career where they just write a book about writing books and sometimes we can learn from them and sometimes they’re really fun.

Suggestions welcome 🤗

The books that helped me understand the writing craft, the writing life, what to expect, and the business side of writing.
