Literature & writing craft Videos Recommended on Hacker News (43)

Literature & writing craft is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 43 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2008 and 2026 — 121 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Writing and books: authors, Stephen King, George R.R. Martin, writing advice, poetry, book discussions, science fiction, storytelling technique, publishing, author interviews.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on LEADERSHIP LAB: The Craft of Writing Effectively: “it's a masterclass in understanding what writing actually is, and what it does for you” — an HN commenter, 2024.
