Who are some good published writers that I should read to help me with my own writing?

The advice I hear from published authors on how to improve your writing and therefore to help you get published if that's your goal is to read, read, read. Not only to read, but to read everything in your genre you can get your hands on. Neil Gaiman and Stephen King are two that have said things along these lines. I also highly recommend Stephen King's book On Writing as a valuable resource of writing tips. Just don't get caught up in reading books about writing or you'll never get to writing!
So the short of it is to read, and to find the authors that have made a niche in your genre, learn from them and then do your own thing. The best thing for a writer to do is simply write!

Both King and Poe have written about writing itself. King’s On Writing would be most helpful. And Poe’s The Poetic Principle should help give you plenty of ideas as well.
Good luck with your work!
