Not many books to recommend, but there's a whole wealth of content online. I'd start by keeping an eye on Hiten Shah's [0] newsletter, decent curation there for a number of topics. The Buffer's blog here is pretty good, as are the content marketing ones from Drift, Intercom and Groove.
Of course, if enough startup/tech people are interested in some more tailored lessons, reach out (email in profile). Been thinking of building out a small course/curated info on marketing with this sort of stuff.
