If you need books about structure and plotting, Save The Cat does a really good job at creating a roadmap for you to follow if you want to write a successful book. It is for screenwriting but you can use it for novels as well.
There's also Save The Cat! Writes a Novel if you think that a book on screenwriting wouldn't be of your taste.
Yeah, totally! There's always Stephen King's 'On Writing', which is a classic. And if you're looking for something more contemporary, there's 'Steal Like an Artist' by Austin Kleon - it's hype!
Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way. — Isabel Quintero
