Here are a few great books I have found that I have enjoyed reading and found very helpful in developing my skills. I will keep adding great books!
Juicy Writing by Brigid Lowry. She is a funny New Zealand author who has a great perspective on being an author and acknowledges the bad stuff too.
Fit to Print by Janet Hughes and Derek Wallace. This book can be a little tedious to read at times, but is a great guide for punctuation, grammar, good writing and the processes of editing and publishing.
The Complete Handbook To Novel Writing by COM. Many authors contributed to these chapters, giving tips on everything from character and plot development to editing and how to decipher publishing contracts. I found this book fantastic and learnt a lot from it.
These and other books such as these can be found in the 800s section of the library (according to the Dewey Decimal System). That's all I have for now but there are a lot of great reads out there :)
