The best books to improve your writing.
Hi,
It's easy enough to think of things you want to write. Inspiration's everywhere.
Editing is a whole other thing. Words flow when you're inspired, but it's far harder to go back and revise them into something great.
So I started searching for the best books on the proofreading and editing process, with tips to help you polish and improve your writing. Here are the best 11 books on proofreading that I've read so far, featuring On Revision, The Subversive Copy Editor, and much more.
Enjoy—and if you have a favorite book on proofreading, I'd love to add it to the library!
