Writing craft books are a mainstay of every author’s bookshelf – we’re always trying to learn more and there’s always more to be learned.
But there are SO many writing craft books out there, it can be difficult to know which ones are worth it.
Recently, I had the opportunity to have a snoop around the bookshelves of bestselling author Rachael Johns, who, along with her insider tips for writing commercial fiction, was kind enough to share with me her favourite writing craft books.
These are the books Rachael Johns has drawn upon – and continues to draw upon – in her journey towards becoming one of Australia’s most successful commercial and romantic fiction authors, and there are many that are beyond ‘the usual suspects, so I’ve decided to share them below.
Here for your collecting pleasure are the writing craft books that will always have a place on Rachael Johns’s bookshelf.
