About the Book



"Twentieth anniversary edition with contributions from Joe Hill and Owen King"--Cover.



Book Synopsis



Twentieth Anniversary Edition with Contributions from Joe Hill and Owen King

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP 100 NONFICTION BOOKS OF ALL TIME

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.

"A one-of-a-kind classic."--The Wall Street Journal

"The best book on writing. Ever."--The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)

"This is a special book, animated by a unique intelligence, and filled with useful truth."--Michael Chabon

I'm not very far into the book yet because I don't have a lot of free time to read. I do love it so far though. I love Stephen King and learning little tid bits about his childhood and how he became the writer he is today is just a treasure to me. If you love Stephen King and you won't regret this book.
