Part memoir, part masterclass 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.

'25 years on, Stephen King's memoir is still the best guide for writers . . . Superlative' - The Sunday Times

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.

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.

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.

'Not only is Stephen King one of the writers whom I credit with making me a novelist, but he was also the writer who, at a key time, gave reading back to me' DONNA TARTT

'King is a visceral writer, and a master of granular detail' MARGARET ATWOOD

'If you dream of writing novels, start with this timeless book' JOHN GRISHAM

'This is the best practical guide I know to a writer's development' VAL MCDERMID
