Following the health books list at Learning Your Craft From The Best Published Authors: Part 2, here are the direct Amazon links to all 50 Wellness Books.
As a health and wellness writer, you might well love reading around your own subject, but use this love for the self-help industry not only to feed your knowledge, but also to look at how writers are crafting books.
Figuring out how to write better by reading already-published business authors is crucial to getting your head around books.
As an editor, the difference between keen readers' manuscripts and authors who are not big readers is all-too obvious. It's why I'm so suspicious of those cookie-cutter programs that claim "I sold a best-selling 50,000 word book without writing a word".
Just no, dude.
If you want to be an author, aim higher than that. And do so by being an avid reader.
