CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF WRITING with fresh testimonials from fellow writers about why they love Stephen King and On Writing—and a few new words on the joy of writing from King himself.

*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. Autoren Kunst & Literatur Schreiben & Veröffentlichen Sprache, Vokabeln & Grammatik

Recensies van critici

"Twenty years after this audiobook came out, it remains as fresh as it was in 2000—a combination of memoir, observations on literature and authorship, craft tips for writers, and an emotional concluding segment on the 1999 near-fatal accident that put King's career on hold. King presents his work in a conversational storytelling voice with excellent timing. This new edition sports two bonuses, both of interest to audiobook listeners. There's a New Yorker essay written and read by Stephen's son Owen, explaining how his father paid him to record books on cassette tapes back when most audiobooks were abridged. Also included is an hour-long conversation on writing between Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, which features father and son reading from each other's works."

Wonderful insights on being a writer by one of the best writers of suspense and horror, narrated by himself. I laughed a lot, King has the right kind of humor to get through the ups and downs of life. His personal stories were more interesting to me in 2023 than the technical stuff, because a lot has changed since 1997/2001. No floppy discs (:D), no paper trail, and self-publishing has become a lot easier since ebooks are available broadly and people are used to read on their phones or tablets. So there are alternatives to publishers and agents. And I skipped the last two parts by Owen and Joe. Just not interesting enough for me, and they kind of killed the vibe of the epilogue.
But I take with me the core of this book: Writing is magic. It's about making others and yourself happy. So, let's do some magic!

However wants to write or just wants to know, how one great writer of our time does his work, should definitely listen to this audio book. It was an even greater pleasure, that Mr King itself, read it for you. And maybe you have a different opinion about that, but I could listen to him all day. I would highly appreciate it, if he would record all of his books by himself. I know that would be too much work but it would be great.

Just great!
