K is for Kindle Books for Writers

I'm a Kindle addict. Which comes as no surprise, I'm also a book addict and an audiobook addict. But, in particular, I am an addict of books on the craft of writing. Here are some I've found on Kindle for 99c. There's lots out there, but these are the ones I think show potential (I haven't read them all yet, but am reading  How to Write a Great Query Letter at the moment).


Write or Die by Scott Nicholson

Publishing Exposed by Daryl Sedore


Ask a Literary Agent by Noah Lukeman

From Words to Brain by Liva Blackburne


A Book Inside by Carol Denbow

Rather than seek help for my addiction, I choose to lure you in as well, come, buy, enjoy...

  1. I have a Nook Color and it's very addictive. The instant gratification of a downloaded book is very hard to resist. I'm stopping by from the A to Z challenge and I look forward to reading more from you.

  4. I don't have a kindle, but I use the app on my pc. If I were to get an e-reader, it would most likely be the kindle. Amazon offers just too much with their packages, don't you think?

    I haven't read any of those books, but the first one sounds really familiar.....

  6. I a sorry, but I could never become a kindle person. I have to hold, smell, write in, argue, discuss, reason, and otherwise interact with a real book. I know it is nice for some, but I can't do it. Give me a book!

  9. I like Amazon, but I feel BN is easier to work with from the author perspective. The sales ranking is easier to understand, they're quicker to put your books on the site, and the reviews layout is so much easier for both readers and potential readers!! Lizzy Ford

  10. I have not yet been tempted by the Kindle. If I traveled more, I'd Have to have one, though.

  11. Hello from across the world! I love my Kindle, too, and plan on blogging about it tomorrow. :) I'll have to check out the titles you've mentioned. I love all the freebies, too.

  12. I've been a tad reluctant to buy non-fiction on the kindle. I like the ease of flipping through for specific subjects which the kindle doesn't do yet. For fiction, however, I LOVE it.

  13. Thanks for all the comments, I admit, I do prefer my Kindle for fiction, but like to read non-fiction on my Kindle app on the iPad or desktop. :-)

  15. Charmaine, I have an iPad and absolutely love it! I saw How to Write a Great Query Letter, clicked over, and bought it. I am having such a struggle with a recent query. Thanks for the suggestions. I always appreciate a good deal on books (e-books or paper)!
