I have the same problem and found a book I'm enjoying so far: Everybody Writes - Ann Handley

Easy to read, has lots of examples, and gives lots of tips on how to make content engaging and write good stories.

Going to keep an eye on other users recommendations, since I'm also interested in learning more :)

"Everybody Writes" by Ann Handley is a great resource along these lines. Includes general writing advice and useful content-specific tips. For example, make the About Us page on your site not a dry description of the company, but of the company in relation to the visitor, giving more background information on how you help solve their problems.

"Everybody Writes" Not that I follow all the great advice yet but I aspire to get there someday. I have it on my shelf next to "Elements of Style."

What? Tons of books get new editions. It happens constantly. For example, Strunk & White [0] has been updated in 1918, 1959, 1999, and 2009. Authors release different versions of their own books. I just wrote a review of a book [1] that had a 2nd edition released in 2022 after the first edition was released in 2014. J.R.R. Tolkein retconned The Hobbit after publication of Lord of the Rings. [2] (I realize this isn't really the same thing but I wanted to give an example in fiction)

Anyway, point is, tons of books are changed after publication. I don't see why The Mythical Man Month shouldn't be; the technology is out of date and the gender issues are out of date.
