Some books about writing are great, this is one of them. With one part memoir (as in "this is how I came to write") and the rest about the craft of writing (anything from dialogue to storytelling and what not to do) On Writing is a must read for any writer or future writer. ps: My favorite quote is ...
I got to know Stephen King on a personal level by reading this short novel. I learned how he made his first buck and I felt like we connected even though we never really personally met. I never expected to get this much out of this small novel and never did I expect to even find this novel to be som...
Hey everyone and how's it going? Awesome I hope!!! I'm doing pretty good myself! Well, today I am bringing you a review. I know it's not the Water for Elephants review, but it will come soon! No, I will be reviewing "On Writing a Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King. It's going to be pretty quick so...
I have never read a single Steven King novel or short story - I know, I know - and I don't write fiction, but this book was recommended highly, and I figured I would give it a try given the struggles I am experiencing with my current project.

I rarely read nonfiction, but I recommend this to everyone who reads heavily and definitely authors. It contains a bit of personal background on Stephen King and a lot of information about how to be a great writer. I loved every word and plan to reread (which I don't often take the time to do). ...
I have wanted to read this book for a long time. I've read countless review of this book. Almost every writer seems to rave about this one. Finally, I got down to reading it this week. I bought a copy from Amazon and tore it open as soon as it arrived. The cover had a nice matte finish to it. The wo...
I have never read any of Stephen King’s fiction, certainly not from any snobbery on my part. I had always heard great things about his storytelling from plenty of people, but the horror branch of speculative fiction was always the one I spent the least time exploring, and even though King has writte...
This was recommended to me by my tutor as her first recommendation to new students of writing and as a fan of Stephen Kings work I was more than willing to pick up a copy. I've been dipping in and out of it for months but decided to finally sit down and read it cover to cover. Personally, I think if...
Stephen King's On Writing is a mess of insight and nonsense. It's part memoir, part textbook, part inspirational battle cry, part philosophical rambling. It's not quite clear what On Writing is. If you read the book in its entirety, you'll learn that King was in the middle of writing On Writing wh...
