I have found some of the most helpful and stylistic advice from Hemingway, a writer I have been know to rant about more than once. Don’t get me wrong, I have quite a few writer’s reference books myself, many of the one’s posted here, but I think, to quote Joan Didion, “The best way to be a writer is to be a reader.”
