Excellent list as I have most of those books or they’re on my list of books to get — and most come from other people’s recommendations.

I want to vote for all of them, but will still say that ‘Renegade Writers’ is number one for me. Cheers, Liz

Given my luck at games of chance (that’s bad luck), I’m afraid voting will simply doom my choice to a last-place finish.
Clearly, voting is never easy for the insane. But I vote anyway…. now.

Hey Meryl, Liz and Tom!
There are some really good ones on the list.
If only I could digest them like a 12-ounce can of Diet Coke.
I would go through at least 4 a day!

I voted for my current read, The Renegade Writer, (although it has some awesome company in this list). I’m finding it very readable with lots of practical tips, which I’m sure I will revisit often.
