Books that have helped me
There are many how to books on creative writing and publishing and really the best advice I can offer is just to make sure you're doing it - most of the books say the same thing. Don't get bogged under, be selective. If you don't know the author... how successful are they? Here are my must haves that I will update from time to time...
