Ever stare at a blank page, wondering if you're ‘good enough’ to be a writer? You get a great idea for a book and feel excited to start—but before you can write the first word, self-doubt comes knocking.

The truth is, writing can feel overwhelming at times. Many aspiring writers face challenges like imposter syndrome, creative blocks, and self-doubt. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, 'Am I good enough?'—you’re not alone.

I’ve curated a list of 10 must-read books to help you grow as a writer—whether you need craft guidance, mindset shifts, or pure creative inspiration.

Hi, I’m Monique Elise

A 5x self-published author who’s been exactly where you are. When I first started writing, I struggled with self-doubt, creative blocks, and the constant fear of not being good enough. But instead of letting those fears hold me back, I chose to embrace the journey of learning, growing, and building the confidence to share stories I’m truly proud of. And I want you to know: you can do the same.

These books changed everything for me, and I want to share them with you.

Grab a book (or a few), start reading, and most importantly—keep writing. You’ve got this!
