My Top 5 How To Books

My Favourite 'How To' Writing Books

There are many How To Write books out there, including my favourites:

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting (Methuen Film) by Robert McKee

From Pitch to Publication by Carole Blake

Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande

and my latest purchase, Why Will No-One Publish My Novel?: A Handbook for the Rejected Writer by Fay Weldon

All writers wishing to submit their novels to an agent should probably own the latest copy of The Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook 2019 by Bloomsbury Publishing
