At last...the Number 1 bestselling writer offers a unique insight into his life and work as well as inspiring advice and instruction on writing.
Find out what books and films influenced the young writer, his first idea for a story and the true life tale that inspired CARRIE. For the first time, here's an intimate autobiographical portrait of his home life, his family and his traumatic recent accident. Citing examples of his work and those of his contemporaries, King gives an excellent masterclass on writing - how to use the tools of the trade from building characters to pace and plotting as well as practical advice on presentation. And King tells readers how he got to be a No. 1 bestseller for a quarter of a century with fascinating descriptions of his own process, the origins and development of, e.g. CARRIE and MISERY.

Desde que decidí que a lo mejor debería dedicar mi tiempo libre a escribir "algo" empecé a buscar libros guía que me dijeran cómo enfocarlo.Hay muchos, y varios de ellos muy buenos pero, en mi opinión, éste es el mejor.Va a lo que va, es concreto y te explica las cosas de forma simple y ágil.Quizá ...
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.
