I've found that the more stories you read, the better your storytelling becomes.

Obviously it works better when you read stories in the same genre/scenario as your story, as the writing is more relevant.

For example, if you're writing (dark) dystopian fiction, you could read Derek Landy (Skullduggery Pleasant and The Demon Road), Michael Grant (BZRK and the GONE series), and possibly Dan Brown and Anthony Horowitz.

This helps as you naturally fall into the same style of writing, the same level of maturity, the same sort of atmosphere etc. (For example, I found that after doing this, useful well-written phrases naturally spring to mind (due to reading such high-quality relevant literature).
