À propos de cet audio
Twentieth Anniversary Edition with Contributions from Joe Hill and Owen King
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.
“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.
The twentieth-anniversary audio edition includes Owen King reading his essay, “Recording Audiobooks for My Dad, Stephen King,” and a recorded conversation with Joe Hill and Stephen King.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"These rare glimpses into King's personal life - as related in his earnest tone and real (thank God) Maine accent - are fascinating.... If you write - or want to - get this book." (AudioFile)
"Spunky, vivid prose are the prime ingredients of what must be considered not at all the usual writer's guide." (Booklist)
"On Writing contains some of the most harrowing pages he has ever written." (Salon.com)

I do hope Stephen King reads this one and smiles!
I loved every minute of this book, and I have come away truly inspired to try my hand at writing my own book - something I've had on my heart for many years.
I am a painter - not an author - however, there are so many ways that Stephen's experience, wisdom, and advice are relevant to my painting practice. I will definitely share this book with the artists I mentor.
Thank you, Stephen, for your authenticity - your raw & real words speak to the core of the artist in me, and reading your book has made me want to sit on a bench and speak with you for hours!
I'm happily married, and my husband loves your horror books and movies. I won't watch or read any of those, but you have redeemed yourself in my eyes with this classic 'how to' on writing.
If I ever do write a book, it will have a similar flavor to your book "On Writing". Perhaps I'll call it "On Being an Artist".
Thank goodness Tabbi helped you get back on the horse and finish this book in the back hallway. It is a gift.
I will also be getting myself a print copy that I can make a mess of with my highlighter and post-it notes!
With gratitude and warm regards to you, Tabbi, and your family.

Loved this!
not only was this a helpful read when it comes to writing, but it also help me get to know my favourite author of all time. I would so love to meet Stephen and Tabitha King. It's truly an honour to be allowed a peek into the life of one of the most prolific authors of my lifetime.

Inspiring & Thoughtful
I loved this. Stephen King does a perfect job narrating his book, and the book itself was inspiring, motivating, useful, and kind. I look forward to reading it again soon.

From novice to master, a must read.
short, spicy and straight to the gist. A twist of no B.S. theory and hardcore life experiences. And as usual the way King writes his story, you always somehow relate to the characters happiness and struggles. This story is about a writer.

Thank You !
I am so happy this book was written and I am glad I decided to listen.
It answered question I didn't know I had but more importantly it answered questions I had and corrected assumptions I had made as to what the answers would be.
If you want to write, listen to this book.
