<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Includes an updated reading list from Stephen King"--Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Twentieth Anniversary Edition with Contributions from Joe Hill and Owen King</b> <p/>ONE OF <i>TIME</i> MAGAZINE'S TOP 100 NONFICTION BOOKS OF ALL TIME <p/>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. <p/> "Long live the King" hailed <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> upon publication of Stephen King's <i>On Writing</i>. 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, <i>On Writing</i> will empower and entertain everyone who reads it--fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>On Writing</i> had more useful and observant things to say about the craft than any book since Strunk and White's <i>The Elements of Style</i>."<b>--Roger Ebert</b><br><br>"A one-of-a-kind classic."<b>--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b><br><br>"The best book on writing.
