10 Books to Improve Your #Writing Skills

Want to know how to write well?

Read.
A lot.
 Read award-winning and best-selling works of fiction within your chosen genre.
 

And …
 Read books on the craft of writing. Read them with a highlighter and pencil in hand. Mark up the pages of the book, flag key passages, and take notes on how to implement the ideas into your own writing. Study and practice and read some more. That’s the formula for writing well. ... At least I *think* it is. ... I'm still striving to improve my own writing skills on a daily basis. ;)
