Writer’s Library Part 1: Books Every Christian Writer Should Have

There are many great writing books that will help writers with their craft. These are the books I consider as must haves.

Learning the Craft:

Self Editing For Fiction Writers by Browne and King (If you don’t buy any other book, buy this one.)

On Writing by Steven King (Warning: There is a little objectionable language in this book. But it’s still well worth reading.)

Writing the Breakout Novel by Donald Maas

The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman

The Fire In Fiction by Donald Maas

Writing For the Soul by Jerry Jenkins

Resource Books:

Merriman Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus 11^th Collegiate (Very helpful for historical writers because it has the date each word originated.)

Chicago Manual of Style (Considered the final authority on grammar by most publishers.)

My next blog will post books on submitting, marketing, genre, and research.
