Ryan HolidayAuthor & Stoic philosopher
“Oh this is a great question. First off, just read any form of amazing writing. Doesn't matter if it is John McPhee writing about volcanos or Michael Lewis writing about flash trading. You just want to see the craft done well. As for specific writing related recommendations? Bird By Bird Tiny Beautiful Things Orwell's essay on writing Zissner's Writing Well And if I may be so bold, I think Perennial Seller is worth a shot.”
