Harry Hartog's review
Do you know that feeling when your creative ideas are expanding so quickly and you're afraid you might miss out if you don't catch them before they disappear? THIS is the bedside writers bible you need, where King delivers the calming advice needed to contain and express your ideas. To express the story, the characters and yourself as freely as possible. A must for any writer in your life. - Ben, Marketing
Description
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 the 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.
There is a reason why Stephen King is one of the bestselling writers in the world, ever. Described in the Guardian as 'the most remarkable storyteller in modern American literature', Stephen King writes books that draw you in and are impossible to put down.
