On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft [B0522]

2001 PB in nice condition except for lots of pale yellow highlighting of text. "Long live the King" hailed Entertainment Weekly upon 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Absolutely incredible. This may be one of the best books I've ever read and will ever read. The craft of writing itself is so eloquently written about. I had myself absolutely howling at moments. I am prepared to non-stop talking about this and recommend it to anyone who listens."; "I'm never going to write a book, but it's so fascinating to hear an expert talk about their area of expertise. Turns out Stephen King is also hilarious."; "Wonderful book. The insights are rather basic but delivered in such a way that leaves you inspired and confident. "
