Publisher Description
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.
The twentieth-anniversary audio edition includes Owen King reading his essay, “Recording Audiobooks for My Dad, Stephen King,” and a recorded conversation with Joe Hill and Stephen King.
Customer Reviews
One of the best
I am not a writer but I wish I was. This book is an absolute delight, and it’s read by the author, which is a plus! Books on writing are usually insightful as well as inspiring, this book is all of that. Listening to Stephen King guide us along his process and urging us to just write leaves you feeling like the mountain of white pages is conquerable AND worthwhile. King is one of the best and I strongly recommend this treasure.
Trash.
Save your money
Take it from an old libtard…
If you want to learn how to write like an ancient dinosaur and not a smart one either, then by this book, it'll go perfect in your collection. Just unlistenable to the core. Listen to something with integrity & intellect like Jordan Peterson, King is truly someone that likes to read his own writing, that’s for sure.
