On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King (Paperback)

Part memoir and part master class, On Writing is Stephen King's candid account of how he became a writer and what he has learned about the craft. He recalls his childhood, his early struggles and the years of rejection slips before Carrie changed his life, and he writes honestly about addiction and recovery.

King then shares practical advice on vocabulary, grammar, style, revision and the habits every writer needs, along with his reflections after a near-fatal accident. Funny, wise and inspiring, it is one of the most beloved books on writing ever published and a must-read for aspiring authors.
