Hodder & Stoughton to publish 25th anniversary classic edition of Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft in July 2025
April 30, 2025
Hodder & Stoughton is thrilled to announce the publication of a beautiful new hardback edition of Stephen King’s seminal book On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of original release. The new edition will be published on 17 July 2025 and will include Stephen King’s foreword ‘On Joy’ (first published in 2024 in the 2020 paperback edition).
Part memoir, part masterclass 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 his 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.
Immensely helpful and illuminating to any aspiring writer, this special edition of Stephen King’s critically lauded, million-copy bestseller shares the experiences, habits, and convictions that have shaped him and his work.
Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it – fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.
