1.		How Fiction Works from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $14.40 Customer Review: James Wood conducts a concise but edifying tour behind the curtain of novel making, aimed primarily at the student and interested layperson. He examines the techniques used by the novelist that readers routinely take for granted. By spotlighting and defamiliarizing them, he demonstrates how they... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		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: This book is the best book of advice for aspiring novel writers I have seen. Lots of practical examples and some good techniques to try out. Even has a chapter-by-chapter system to go from nothing to a novel by the end of the book (if you want to use it). It is also engaging to read and is not... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting Dynamic Characters and Effective Viewpoints (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: "Characters, Emotion and Viewpoint" is helping me understand the importance of viewpoint, of focusing on what the main characters are feeling and experiencing within a story's moment of action. As one working on becoming a writer, this book is essential in understanding the importance of point of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Second Edition: How to Edit Yourself Into Print from Collins Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I bought this as a gift and she said it had a lot of great tips and ideas that helped her out with her writing process.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		How to Write a Damn Good Novel: A Step-by-Step No Nonsense Guide to Dramatic Storytelling (How to Write a Damn Good Novel) from St. Martin's Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I bought this book while writing my first novel to get some of the 'tricks of the trade'. I dont know what I exactly expected it to be, but it is not 'tricks of the trade', as it were. It's more like a textbook. A very decent one even. It is obviously well written in a clear and concise language and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels from Harper Paperbacks Price: $15.61 Customer Review: When my grandparents got me this book, I didn't think it could help me. I was looking for a "How to Draw" not a "How to Write". This book proved me so wrong. I couldn't believe how much fun it was to read, and it helped me a lot too. Almost everything I thought I knew was proved wrong and after... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Elements of Writing Fiction - Characters & Viewpoint (Elements of Fiction Writing) from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: One of the best books on writing I've found so far. Detailed, clear, encouraging. Other reviewers complain that it is too "formula." It's not- it's usable. Big difference. I say that it take a certain kind of genius to breakdown intuitive concepts into usable parts. Character is intuitive, it's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Writing Fiction: The Practical Guide from New York's Acclaimed Creative Writing School from Bloomsbury USA Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I recommend this book to every writer I know. Writing Fiction is the first book that I've written a review for, simply because it delivers so much value to me and to people I know well. Having taught English Lit and written for many years, I'd rate Writing Fiction as the best basic Fiction... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Write Great Fiction - Dialogue (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: Dialogue by Gloria Kempton has some sound advice for writing dialogue. While not perfect, those giving it such bad reviews seem more interested in explaining their opinions rather than objectively explain why it's a bad book. Certainly a review must have personal opinion, but an objective criticism... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Book in a Month: The Fool-Proof System for Writing a Novel in 30 Days from Writers Digest Books Price: $15.63 Customer Review: Who wouldn't want to write a book in a month? My first novel manuscript took over a year for the first draft, so this workbook was appealing just for the timeframe. But BIAM also drew me in for the focus on structure and organization. I gave it the Read-Til-I-Drop-Or-Buy test. It seemed just what I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Howdunit Book of Police Procedure and Investigation: A Guide for Writers (Howdunit) from Writers Digest Books Price: $13.59 Customer Review: Today's readers are savvy and quick to pick up on inaccuracies, so it's important for a writer to be up-to-date on terminology and procedures. Police procedure, murder investigations, the straight dope on DNA, autopsies, prison terminology, and a whole lot of other areas in the crime and mystery... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Don't Murder Your Mystery [Agatha Award for Best Nonfiction Book] from Bella Rosa Books Price: $16.16 Customer Review: This book is a terrific primer for first-time or relatively new writers -- and not just writers of mysteries, but all fiction and even non-fiction. The examples of poor choices and better alternatives that Chris Roerden chooses are clear and relevant. My only nit to pick is the negative construction... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: Jordan E. Rosenfeld's Make a Scene sculpts future writers on the right path. But, the writing will scare novices. The work packs on the information at a heavy pace and often reads more like textbook than teaching. Point to fact: It can overwhelm the reader with information. To get everything... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Elements of Writing Fiction - Beginnings, Middles & Ends (Elements of Fiction Writing) from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: I have always been told I'm a "good writer" and I have always wanted to "write" (specifically, make up stories and put them on paper. And despite starting with Aristotle's Poetics in high school, I guess I just didn't get it. Even so, I have spent most of my adult life in jobs that were dependent on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Writing the Breakout Novel from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: The book was very helpful, answer many of my questions and if you follow his suggestion I beleive, I think it will improve your writing and (hopefully) your chances of being published. Now for the "but." There are lots of good and even great writers not getting a chance. There are too many agents... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Manuscript Makeover: Revision Techniques No Fiction Writer Can Afford to Ignore from Perigee Trade Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I've read several books about editing, style, and revision techniques and without a doubt this is the best I've come across so far. It covers an extensive range of topics, goes straight to the point, and most importantly presents them in a helpful, supportive manner. The examples cover a range of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Scene Book: A Primer for the Fiction Writer from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.20 Customer Review: One of the hardest tasks of learning to write is learning to read like a writer. A carpenter sees a house differently than a real estate agent, an architect, or a homeowner. A writer must learn to read books not like an English major or a reader in an airport, but with an eye for breaking apart and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: After finishing this book, I had mixed feelings. I liked how it helped integrate three quality concepts into my writing (mentioned in title), but at the same time, I felt like Gardner's audience was only white male MFA (masters of fine arts) students. I had only read about half the classic... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Techniques of the Selling Writer from University of Oklahoma Press Price: $24.95 Customer Review: This is a good one. It's written in an encouraging tone, it's entertaining, and it's full of good advice. The age is showing a little (women are either ditzy blonds or housewives who spend their husband's money on mink coats) but that just gives the book a certain charm. It doesn't extensively... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Write Great Fiction Revision And Self-Editing (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: How-to books for writing come in as many variations as there are writers. Some are hype, promising you'll make $100,000 in your first year of freelancing or a $50,000 advance on your first novel. They promise much more than they deliver. There are also the texts which do provide some useful... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
