Carolyn's Top Ten Book Picks for Writers

Ta da!! Here they are. My top ten choices for writers.

Every one of these books will inspire writers to do bigger and better things with their publishing careers. You'll find a little of everything here. From books on speaking better (which is my number one way to promote a book by the way--one I mention in The Frugal Book Promoter) to perfecting your understanding of grammar and style.

You'll find my top ten choices for mainstream reading at MyShelf.com. You'll also find my Noble (Not Nobel!) Awards there.
