I’m partial to A Writer’s Workshop by Carolina Sharp…it’s a great book! And this is a wonderful contest. Hurrah.

Oh, I would love to win this bundle!

I recently bought NAMING THE WORLD: AND OTHER EXERCISES FOR THE CREATIVE WRITER by Bret Anthony Johnston

I have two favorites - On Writing by Stephen King and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott.

Hmm…probably the the Truth That Tells a Lie, but I just picked up How Fiction Works and I have a feeling that will become my new favorite!

I like Georgia Heard’s Awakening the Heart and I’d love to win this bundle!

I loved Writing Magic by Gail Carson Levine. I would love to win these books.

The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing from the editors of Writer’s Digest is ok. Writing Science Fiction & Fantasy, a collection of essays put together by the editors of Analog and Asimov’s Science Fiction, is good for technical details.

I just bought Beginnings, Middles & Ends by Nancy Kress who is one of my favorite authors but it doesn’t look too promising. I also just bought Writing the Memoir: From Truth to Art by Judith Barrington.

I don’t just want the books in this give-away. I need them. I have some serious self-education to do. If you read my blog post from this morning and the comments, you’ll understand why.

As an English professor teaching composition, literature, and film, I am in love with many books on writing and reading. But sticking to writing…  I have to say that my current favorite “how to” book regarding writing is Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury.

Its Phyllis A Whitney’s ‘Guide to Fiction Writing’.  I love it pieces!

I don’t have a favorite, because I’ve never read one (unless you count college English classes that I don’t remember). But I’m hoping that I can say Bird by Bird (because I’ve heard wonderful things about it) and still be entered.  Please?  :-D

The truth is that I haven’t read any, either; at least not that I can recall right now.  So, I’ll have to say something like “Elements of Style,” which isn’t really the same thing.  So I’m hoping to win to remedy this situation.

Its and old book called Dot Your I’s and Cross Your T’s.  I cannot remember who it is by.

On Writing by Stephen King…one of my favorite authors…is my favorite, but I have read many that are very good.  The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is not necessarily a writing book, but it’s a great one for winning your creative battles.

Thanks for the contest!

My favorite is Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird. And Stephen King’s On Writing is really good too.

I really love the 3 a.m. epiphany…its a fantastic book with a lot of unique writing prompts…and I agree that Stephen King’s On Writing is another excellent book

I’m afraid I’m going to have to be unoriginal and concur with others who have said, On Writing by Stephen King and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott.

I haven’t read many, so I’d love prize pack.

I guess I’ve read more “how to read books” and I love How to Read Literature like a Professor (named above) and the New Lifetime Reading Plan. I’ve heard great things about Bird by Bird.

I love Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott.

I have read that many, but I loved The complete Writer. I’d love to be entered to win this prize pack!

I’ve real many I like, but Stephen King’s On Writing was the most fun.

My favorites are “The voice of the muse”, Stephen Kings “On Writing” and Lamont’s “Bird by Bird.”

Am I too late? My favorite writing book (so far) is On Writing by Stephen King. But right now I’m reading Bird by Bird and have heard nothing but great things about it.

I laughed all the way through Stephen King’ s On Writing.

I wish I could contribute something different here, but it’s got to be Stephen King’s “On Writing”.  It’d be interesting to read the titles above; thanks for the give-away.

I love Stephen King’s on Writing and Ray Bradbury’s Zen and the Art of Writing. For poets, The Triggering Town by Richard Howard is a classic. And, even though I’m not a PhD student and have no need of it, I always found comfort in How to Write Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day, pretty much as good inspiration to break any enormous daunting task down into tiny steps and to chip away at it everyday.
