Stephen King 'On Writing' Paperback Book New

Stephen King 'On Writing' book. Black and white cover with author photo. New Paperback. Retail $17-$20 Black pen mark on top right corner On Writing — A Memoir of the Craft. It’s one of King’s most respected non-fiction works, originally published in 2000 by Scribner. It’s part memoir, part masterclass in writing. The book is divided into a few key sections: • C.V. (Curriculum Vitae) – autobiographical stories from King’s childhood through his career, showing how life experiences feed into his writing. • Toolbox – practical guidance on grammar, vocabulary, and writing style. • On Writing – King’s direct advice on the craft: habits, discipline, drafts, and the reality of revision. • On Living: A Postscript – a raw, emotional section describing his recovery after being struck by a van in 1999. The photo on the cover (King in his writing space, feet up, dog at his feet, surrounded by papers and an old computer) is one of the most iconic author portraits ever published — it captures exactly the blend of humor, intensity, and workmanlike approach the book celebrates.
