Books for Writers

I've said that writers must be readers but what should writers read? There are a list of standards and of course you should read in the genre you want to publish in. So here's my list of suggested titles you might want to put on your personal Christmas shopping list -- a little present for yourself this year.

• Story by Robert McKee
• The Plot Thickens: Noah Lukeman
• Rotten Rejections: Andre Bernard. The Letters That Publishers Wish They'd Never Sent. These are stories about famous writers overcoming setbacks.
• How to Write Irresistable Query Letters: Lisa Cool
• Stein on Writing: Sol Stein
• How to Grow a Novel: Sol Stein
