Synopsis
Immensely helpful and illuminating to any aspiring writer, this special edition of Stephen King's critically lauded, million-copy bestseller shares the experiences, habits, and convictions that have shaped him and his work. "Long live the King" hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King's On Writing . Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer's craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King's advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999--and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it--fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.

    Stephen King reflects on his writing, while at the same time bringing you closer to yours!

    Stephen King has been one of my favorite authors my whole life and is one of the few i continue to read. This is not your traditional night out at the horror show. This book is Stephen King peeling the curtains of his brain, where we can not only gain a better understanding of the man, and what makes him tick ( he speaks of a band that he plays in and he's made references to them in other work) , but also in doing so (for me) I was able to find a better understanding of the way that my brain works and what makes me tick on writing. Not only is it compelling on the level that it is written by a beloved writer, but it is also compelling in the way you will approach writing in the future. I'm a song writer, I'm no novelist. But this book is good medicine for those writer's blocks. I must ...

    This is STEPHEN king

    Not only is this the best book ever written on how to write, but it is also a personal journey into the life of Mr. King himself. Very revealing of himself and also of the craft. This is far more than an instructional manual, this is a living, breathing thing, a life!!!

    I recommend this book for writers who have just begun to write and need direction.

    Good story line and easy read. Has points in writing which I have found to be very helpful. I encourage others to read this book if they are interested in writing.
