Books I Read as a Writer & Editor

I am a writer, editor, and owner of Cats Coffee Con Law, where I offer editing services for indie/self-publishing authors.

As an aspiring author with five novels in que, I know just how hard it is to find inspiration and battle those wandering thoughts of "am I doing this right?" or "can I be doing this better?".

These are my go-to resources and because we are not gatekeep girlies here (exhibit A: see my writing blog, link in bio!), here is what I reach for when I am struggling in my writing or editing journey:

📖 The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing

📖 Self-Editing for Fiction Writers

📖 Developmental Editing: A Handbook

📖 The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (3rd Ed.)

You can find any of these (except maybe the oxford dictionary) at your local bookstore or Amazon!

Do you have a favorite writing/editing reference book? Drop it in the comments! Comment if you have read any of these!
