Best books, articles or videos on how to write well?

I'm a big fan of founders and makers who write well. Recently I understood that it's a skill and it's trainable. And I want to get better at writing! Just finished "Smart brevity" & reading "Dryers English". Both are great but are better for professional media. Got any recommendations?

"A Swim in a Pond in the Rain" by George Saunders – is the best source of understanding the reader's emotions. Can also recommend the "Dadiv Sedaris - Storytelling and Humour" course from masterclass.com, if you have a subscription (is more about the vision and mindset of great stories). Both are not technical, but I don't think it matters :)

I couldn't agree more, @kostyabolsh. Here's my approach - (1) 30 min of free writing everyday, (2) reading a lot, and (3) writing for my business and clients. Some books I'm reading or read recently- Salman Khan - Brave new words Ezra Klean - Why we're polarized Ethan Mollick - Co-intelligence
