Good Book For Aspiring Writers
Great book for an aspiring writer, and without the lengthy dialogue that King is so famous for.

The Teacher King
Great book, one which I've read several times and quoted in my college writing classes.

A writer's writer
I could have skipped the first 100-page autobio, though I learned some tnings, but what came after that was invaluable to me in its insights to King's ideas about good -- and bad -- writing. Would I recommend it to a friend? I already have, to a couple, who write -- and it was recommended to me by one of the greatest young writers in America.

Heart of Creativity
Steven King presents a memoir that includes instructions on what an aspiring writer should notice. Mastery of language is a core development in a writer. King shows the way.
