About the Series
No one is born a famous writer, beloved and read by millions of teens and adults. Readers of the books in Today’s Writers and Their Works will learn the story behind each writer’s story: for example, how Amy Tan became a best-selling author with her first novel, even though she felt she could not write well; how Haruki Murakami closed his sports bar to fulfill his dream of writing full-time; how Bill Bryson’s move to England facilitated his wry point of view.

In addition to telling the writer’s story, each book includes an in-depth examination of the most widely read works of each author. For literature lovers, aspiring writers, and those who have reports to write, there is no better source of information.

Series
[ Stephen King ]
*"It’s not just that Stephen King writes dark material—it’s that he writes so much of it. The wildly prolific master of the macabre is given intelligent, judicious scrutiny in this delightfully thorough volume from the Today’s Writers and Their Works series."
Booklist Online, Review of the Day, STARRED REVIEW
