*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.

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.

An amazing book to read for aspiring writers
"Such an interesting work of non-fiction. An excellent insight into the mind of King and how he creates his masterpieces. Written in an engaging way, more like a conversation than an instruction manual that keeps you engaged while also relaying King’s tips on writing."

Contains really good advice for anyone who wants to write
"On Writing by Stephen King offers advice, resources and tips for people who want to write better. He is honest and opinionated and lays some pretty hard criticism on so-so writers like me!"
— Cathryn (4/5)
Brilliant Book For Writers
"What a fantastic read. I loved learning about Stephen in the first part of the book and how he came up with some of his most popular book ideas. One of the most interesting was reading about how he came up with the idea for the book ""From a Buick 8"". The second half of the book was loaded with a lot of lessons for writers, woven into his experience and included examples throughout. I'm about to re-read this book and make notes along the way. A must read if you want to know how Stephen King's mind works at writing."
— Mike H. (5/5)
Chalk Full of Lessons and Ideas
"There are so many lessons of wisdom on writing and coming up with ideas, throughout this book its hard to put down. King also talks about a lot of his works and the inspiration behind those ideas. This isnt a book you read to finish, rather a book you read to understand."
— MikeHill (5/5)
Excellent book!
"A great book for any aspiring writer. Super helpful, straightforward, and easy to read."
— SK (5/5)
On Writing: everything you need to know
"One of the most informative texts on writing, the context of the book does the title justice. I don’t read Stephen King. I recently bought one of his books after reading this memoir and only finished chapter one. His writing is Phenomenal—just from one chapter, i felt as though i was reading the story as if i was there. My review is completely unbiased as I've never been a Stephen King fan before. I came into reading this book with no expectations for who this guy was or what this guy knows. I was majorly surprised—pleasently—with how straight forward and addicting this book was."
— Grammeh (5/5)
King rules …
"Great book…. always loved his style of writing and this book was straightforward and felt like he was talking to me as he was in the room with me … not bs … all honest advise I will be utilizing"
