For advanced study, I recommend narrative theory and depth psychology. Wired for Story: The Writer's Guide to Using Brain Science to Hook Readers from the Very First Sentence by Lisa Cron is a good start, but modern psychology tends to neglect the unconscious mind which is why I recommend some depth psychology for the significance of myth and symbols.
That's a deep rabbit hole, if you allow it.
There are different books for different parts of writing. Some focus on plot [Story Engineering], others talk you out of blocks [Bird by Bird]. Some deal with immersion [Wired for Story], others warn you of newbie errors [edit yourself]. Some only talk about the first page. [Hooked]
If you specify what you want the most, I can probably get more specific. The best way to deal with grammar, other than the dry "Elements of Style", is to take a free Cousera course, or OWLs online and test yourself. I also love this blog for crazy awesome advice both current and in her backlog.
Edit: Also too: Might as well hang out at /r/writing and pop in from time to time at /r/grammar
Wired for Story is absolutely amazing. I think every writer should read this, regardless of the type of writing they are doing.
