Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Review

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

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

"
On Writing had more useful and observant things to say about the craft than any book since Strunk and White's The Elements of Style."--Roger Ebert

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

A must-read if you wish to become a writer
This is probably my favorite book of 2023.Imagine all the questions you ever had about what is means to be a writer and how to do it. How do you write a novel? What system or method should you follow? What skills do I need to write a good book? All these questions are answered in this book, in a straight forward, no bullshit-way. I loved it.If, on the other hand, you're merely interested in the art of writing or wish to learn more about Stephen King himself, this is also your book. And do not worry, this book reads wonderfully and is extremely well paced.Overall, great book. It will likely get you excited to start writing yourself.
