That was my first thought too – no women! Not just looking for some kind of tokenistic inclusion – i was genuinely surprised. The best book i have ever found on writing is Dorothea Brande’s “Becoming a Writer”. Written in the 1930s, it is still fantastically useful and enlightening today. Natalie Goldberg’s “Writing Down the Bones” is much-loved, much-used. And although she doesn’t suit me personally, Julia Cameron’s “The Writer’s Way” is massively influential.

Thank you for sharing. Maybe you also should look into what women have written on writing? (Not a single woman on your list.)

Wondered if you would include Stephen King and was happy to see it was first on your list. I read it and it changed my perspective in so many ways. Thanks for a great list!
