"On Writing Well"by William Zinsser is not a bad start. One of the takeaways from the book is, that much like everything else, writing is a skill that you have to practice in order to get better at it. Do not try to create your own style, first learn how to write only what is essential, without embellishments.
Zinnser's "On Writing Well" comes up as a recommendation from time to time, especially in tech circles.
I don't want to gainsay those who have benefited from it. It does contain a few good tips. For me though, it was a bit of a slog and the payoff wasn't great
It could just be a characteristic of the genre. My creative writing teacher tells me that most general interest books about the process of writing aren't worth reading, and having purchased a few of them, I would tend to agree. There are a few exceptions, but these tend to address specific topics within writing like memoir writing.
