Gosh, I adore Le Guin. Her anthropological, feminist writing guides my prose. I most enjoy The Left Hand of Darkness and this craft book! Wait, let me list more resources:
- The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White.
- Master Lists for Writers by Bryn Donovan.
- Mastering Suspense, Structure, & Plot by Jane K. Cleland.
- Romancing the Beat by Gwen Hayes.
- World Building For Writers by Maya Linden.
- 101 Worldbuilding Prompts by M. D. Presley.
- Save the Cat! Writes A Novel by Jessica Brody.
- The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maass.
- The Conflict Thesaurus by Angela Ackerman & Becca Puglisi.
- The 7 Book Red Sneaker Writers Book Series by William Bernhardt.
- On Writing and Worldbuilding Volume I and Volume II by Timothy Hickson.
I’ve accrued a lot over a long time. Some books I prefer more than others; many are on sale for cheap or available through libraries.
