On Writing Well — William Zinsser
The definitive guide to nonfiction writing. Zinsser's principles — clarity, simplicity, brevity — are the ones I come back to every time I'm editing a draft that's gotten too clever for its own good.
The classic guide to writing nonfiction. Clear, direct, and still the best book on the subject after 40 years.

On Writing — Stephen King
Half memoir, half master class. King's advice on voice, revision, and showing up to the page every day is the kind of thing you underline and return to. Essential.
Part memoir, part craft guide — King's most personal and practical book. A must-read for any serious writer.
