Books on creative writing that I believe are a must have for would-be authors.
For novices, 'Aspects of The Novel' by E. M. Forster
'The Elements of Style' ( Fourth Edition) by William Strunk jr. and E. B. White (Charlotte's Web)
'Learning to Write Fiction from the Masters' by Barnaby Conrad (In my opinion the best creative writing guide on the planet)
'Solutions for Novelists - The Secrets of a Master Editor' by Sol Stein. (Sol was a friend of Barnaby Conrad)
'Sol Stein on Writing' by Sol Stein.
'The Art and Craft of Novel Writing' by Oakley Hall.
'How to Read and Why' by Professor Harold Bloom.
Check the reviews on Amazon. You can get cheap second hand copies.
They are the best books I have read on how to write.
Open University course books for their Creative Writing modules, available on Amazon are excellent.
Will try getting them.
