10 Great Books for Writers

If you're a writer (or aspiring writer), I'm guessing you're like me...you enjoy reading (of course!), but you especially enjoy reading books for writers. There is so much we can learn when we read about another author's experiences. Not only that, but it often provides us with extra motivation when we surround ourselves with other writers. It's nice to know that we are not alone. You are, after all, not the only writer to experience the dreaded "writers block". When we read books by other writers, for writers, we learn that we are not the only ones, perhaps, that scribble notes for future books on anything we can get our hands on (e.g. napkins, old receipts, etc.). We learn that other writers dream of owning (for display) an antique typewriter too (I thought I was the only one!).

Reading books for writers, by writers allows us to learn about others experiences (I also share regular exclusive author interviews here on my blog--- be sure to scroll through the blog and check them out, here. I interview both indie and traditionally published authors, and share exclusive interviews from authors who write everything from children's books, thrillers, romance, nonfiction and everything in between). And now, without further ado, here are 10 great books for writers, about writing. Which books on the list have you read? Which ones are you adding to your "to read" list right now?

And as a special bonus today, I'm sharing a brand new *COVER REVEAL* of my upcoming book, WRITE YOUR STORY: How to Jump Start Your Writing Career (by Stacey Ritz). The book is set to publish later this spring (2017)...stay tuned for release dates and more info.

What's the book about?

Writing is grueling. It’s heart wrenching. To write is to reach deep into your soul and to sit with what you find. To examine life from every angle. To write is to live, but we must always remember to live if we are to write well.

Is writing easy? No. Nothing worthwhile ever is. But when we stain the pages of our writing with hard work, sweat, tears, and emotion, when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable to the page, it is worthwhile. Writing is an investment in ourselves and in the world. Words have the power to change the world. Ponder that for a moment. Words. The single tool we use to work our magic as writers, can produce change.

Write Your Story: How to Jump Start Your Writing Career will help and inspire you to reach your writing goals. Covering everything from healthy daily practices, overcoming self-doubt and comparitinitis, tips on writing both fiction and non-fiction, how to market your book and much more, Write Your Story will assist you in discovering the best path to reach your writing goals and to enhance your writing career.
