Hello MelamineFree:
It is not entirely clear, if you want something on how to write Literature in its fine arts context as would be the case if you wish to write a Novel , or how to publish Exposition as in Non-Fiction where you are conveying information.
"How to write" is a huge subject.
You could get the "Little Brown Handbook" and similar books that explain all the coirrect grammatical usages in sentences.
Your question could also lead to an associated issue, which is "How to think" because writing is an expression of thought, as well as feeling. That would lead you into a study of Logic and the Three Laws of Aristotle and so forth.
The subject is broad, and I think it is generally true that if one can speak, one can write.
In that regard, the question is "How To Speak?"
If you write with more specificity, I an anwer you a little better I think.

Students have text books at different levels that explain the different types of writing essays. For example: there would be examples in the textbook of argumentative/ analytical/expository/creative/ essays with a picture and some questions underneath each text. Then the student is given similar topics and asked to write their own essay in a particular style.
