Über diesen Titel

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.

Beschreibung von Audible

To begin with, you've got Stephen King, a writer so talented in the art of thrill-generation that he could insert excitement into the assembly instructions for a bookshelf. Or, say, a book about writing and grammar. And that's precisely what King does in On Writing, an improbably fascinating, relentlessly compelling trip through the mind, style, life, and work of one of our greatest popular writers.

Hearing this unique combination of anecdotes and insider's advice told in King's charmingly nasal voice makes an already insightful narrative even more personal and powerful. If you want to write, this audiobook will quickly become a treasured resource, because it will improve your writing. But even if you have no interest whatsoever in writing, King's anecdotes and instructions into the art and process will probably make you a better, more informed reader.

Kritikerstimmen

"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)

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!

"Writing is 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!

Alle, die schreiben, sollten dieses Hörbuch hören. Egal ob Anfänger oder Fortgeschrittene. Es wird euer Leben bereichern. Es geht nicht nur um das Handwerk an sich, sondern um so viel mehr. Auch für Fans sehr empfehlenswert, denn ihr bekommt einen Einblick, wie Stephen King seine Bücher schreibt. Last but not least : gelesen vom Autor. So soll ein gutes Hörbuch sein.

King not only knows how to write stories, he also is an expert in telling others how to do it. I really liked that part of the book. However, these little anecdotes from his early life he broadly presents diminish the fun in listening to this audio. Dito, the parts written by his kids. Obviously King is very devoted to his family, but I would have preferred to listen to more writig advice instead of giving his family the chance to shine (which they didn't take, by the way)

Am amazed with how a theoretical book on writing with King’s extraordinary talent turns into a ln alive almost human creature that you want to get to know and love. An absolute must if you want to write.
