Book Description:
"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.

Although i am not a fan of SK's books i found this to be a very surprising ode to his love of writing and therefore very inspirational and helpful for others who wish to be authors.

Interesting, funny, and all times pure "King", "On Writing" is part biographical tale and part writer's manual. A must for any King lover and/or amateur writer who could use a push from one of the greats.
This is one of the finest, 'writers on writing' books I've ever read. He truly gives an inside view of the process, inspiration and work of being a writer. I highly recommend this book.
Kristin M. (Loved it! Stephen King lets us in on how to be a successful writer, with some insights on his own muses.
Part memoir, part how-to for wannabe novelists, King actually delivers some useful tips and gives a great glimpse into the making of his unique mind.
