Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Long live the King," hailed Entertainment Weekly upon the 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.

Review:

"A fascinating look at the evolution and redemption of one of the hardest-working storytellers writing today." USA Today

Review:

"Combines autobiography and admonition, inspiration and instruction. It's an enjoyable mix." The Washington Post Book World
