1.		On Becoming a Novelist from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $10.17 Customer Review: For aspiring writers wanting to get some heavy insight into the steps, practices, discipline and a "how-to" look into becoming a Novelist, you may want to look elsewhere. While "On Becoming a Novelist" is a decent read, I found the content somewhat disengaging making the book, overall, hard... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Aspects of the Novel from Harvest Books Price: $10.40 Customer Review: The book which started as a series of lectures grew to become one of landmarks in history of literary criticism. Over eighty years after its original publication its value has not diminished. Quite on the contrary, Forster's lucid and rational approach to literature seem to become even more valuable... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: "For any writer, the ability to look at a sentence and see what's superflous, what can be altered, revised, expanded or especially cut is essential." Good books help your writing. This book is stuffed full of terrific snippets from great books, Francine Prose teaches an entire course on writing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: The pressure is tremendous. To write a review of a book on writing -- the review almost has to smack of winning a Pulitzer. Well, I'm no writer, so I'll do my best. The frankness of Lamott is very refreshing. So many books on writing just cover the technical approaches and don't really address... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft from Longman Price: $69.30 Customer Review: Everything was fine except the book was slightly thinner and wider than the one in my school bookstore so I was a bit thrown off. I compared inside and they seem identical. Also, the print is no smaller. The most interesting text book I've read though.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		On Writing from Pocket Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I've been away from writing for many years and thought I'd start with King's book to get me back into the swing of things. It worked. (I may not be writing to publish, but I am writing--and that's always the first hard step.) King includes myriad practical tips and techniques for buckling down,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers from Collins Price: $11.86 Customer Review: I had to buy this book for a college course. I was at first skeptical of buying it thinking it wasn't gonna be worth it but after i read a chapter of it, I realized i absolutely had to have it. This book has helped me in so many ways to become a better fiction writer and set free my imagination. The... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Second Edition: How to Edit Yourself Into Print from Collins Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This is a verbatim handout in a clinic the authors taught in 1990 in New York. Each item on the following self-editing checklist is a deal-breaker for your blockbuster. Your manuscript likely has many of them. Buy this essential book; understand what the checklist items refer to, and start... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		On Moral Fiction (A Harper Torchbook- TB 5069) from Basic Books, Inc. Price: $16.65 Customer Review: I have no idea what John Gardner intended to write in this book. I think he vents his stream of consciousness. Reading it's a struggle, and more trouble than I care for. I mean, he's supposed to know how to write, right?	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Plot & Structure: (Techniques And Exercises For Crafting A Plot That Grips Readers From Start To Finish) (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: Every so often I get insecure in my efforts to write a decent book, and I check out one of these craft books. Often they help, often not. This one falls in the latter category. It outlines the most common concepts of the most common fiction (the necessity of conflict, an objective for the main... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
