Not since Dickens has a writer had so many readers by the throat . . . King's imagination is vast. He knows how to engage the deepest sympathies of his readers . . . It is part biography, part collection of tips for the aspiring writer. In the final chapters, King tells, in graphic details, the story of his recent accident . . . a bizarre and absorbing story, told brillinatly by one of the great storytellers of our time' - Guardian

In June of 1999, Stephen King was hit by a van while walking along the shoulder of a country road in Maine. Six operations were required to save his life and mend his broken body. When he was finally able to sit up, he immediately started writing. This book is the extraordinary result.

Critic Reviews

Part biography, part collection of tips for the aspiring writer . . . one of the great storytellers of our time
Absolutely fascinating . . . basic instructions . . . sensible advice
The childhood memoir is a triumphant display of wit, story-telling and guts. His advice to writers is hard-nosed, practical and level-headed in the classic journalistic Orwell-Hemingway tradition
This is the written equivalent of Delia Smith's How To Cook. And, like British home cooking, the world of popular fiction will be better off for it
Stephen King is a genius . . . In this book he tells us what first made him a horror writer . . . his very direct approach to getting his awesome imagination onto a blank page works (Jeremy Vine)
I am a life-long fan, and ON WRITING is one of the most important books I've read on the craft and the business (Lisa Unger)
