ABOUT THE BOOK
Part memoir, part masterclass, On Writing is Stephen King’s account of how he became a writer and what he has learned about the craft along the way.
He begins with vivid snapshots of his childhood and his early struggles – the rejection slips nailed to his bedroom wall, the trailer where Carrie was written – before opening his toolbox: vocabulary, grammar, dialogue, the importance of reading a lot and writing a lot, and the hard, honest work of revision.
Written after the near-fatal accident of 1999, the book ends with a moving account of how writing helped him back to life. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes additional contributions by Joe Hill and Owen King.
