My favorite books on the Writing Craft!

This is just a few for now, but I will add more. Some will even probably be more recent because I’m always reading new stuff!

All links are Amazon links due to the availability and accessibility. They are not paid commission links. I also buy used if I can find the books I’d like used and when on a budget - but for indie writers* (such as Stant Litore) I buy new because the money goes to them.

Writing Magic Systems by Stant Litore (working my way through his non-fiction works)

Create a Language Clinic by Holly Lisle

Anything by Joseph Campbell

The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogel

Story Robert McKee

On Writing by Stephen King

Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg

Screenplay and The Screenwriter’s Workbook by Syd Field

Not actual writing craft, but for mindset and mental health topics related to the field of writing, Becca Symes has a wonderful series of books. She comes across as both thoughtful and straight-forward. I have not read them all yet, but I have a few.

*For purchasing from independent authors on Amazon, please make sure that you are buying from them and not a scammer. If you click on the author’s name and it leads to their linked Amazon Author Page and give the reviews a brief check, you should be good to go :)
