There are some books that all writers should have on their shelves.  Of course, basic grammar, style, and editing books are a "must have" along with reference books for manuscript formats.  If any writers plans on publishing his/her work, the Writers Market is a necessity, and a literary agent guide is a good investment if you want to use an agent.  Don't forget to look at a couple of "good vs. bad writing" books to make sure that you are on the right track.  A legal guide for writers will help you with those contract and copyright issues.  You'll need more than references, though, if you want to make your masterpiece.

The best way to learn how to write is to read what other people have written.  It is crucial that you see what other writers in your genre have written to assess the market and your competition.  Use the search box above to look up your genre or specific titles in which you are interested.  If you have a favorite author in your genre, pay special attention to his/her writing style and techniques when you read his/her work.  If he/she is your favorite published author and seems to be getting on the best seller list, there is a chance that he/she is doing something right, so learn from him/her.  Don't forget to read other genres.  Sometimes it is possible to mix genres to increase the depth of your story and reach a wider audience.
