Search - On Writing

I used to read Stephen King in high school, and haven't done a lot of it since then - with the rare exception (usually audios at work). After reading this book I am reminded of the kind of friendly relationship he cultivates with his readers, and just how endearing his persona is to his fans. If you have been entertained by this man (and who hasn't), I recommend reading this book to deepen your experience of his work. An excellent description of his life, his work habits, advice and pet peeves about the art of writing - and a chapter on the accident that almost ended his life, and the relationships that have sustained that unique life. I was reminded why I was such a big fan - and I've had that attitude reignited.

Very interesting reading, but only if your wanting to learn to write.

The best book on writing I've ever read. King gives the reader "permission" to write what they want to write or not to write at all.

I really enjoyed this book. It had many interesting tips on writing but what I really enjoyed was Stephen King's description of how he came up with the ideas for his books like Carrie. That was really neat.

I don't like Stephen King's writing but I sure liked his writing on writing! I have to admit, he knows what he is talking about.This is a straight forward guide to how to put pen to paper (or computer to printer) and produce the story that you want to write. this book is informative and enjoyable.

An encouraging, thoughtful and warm guide for aspiring writers on the craft and the passion behind it.
