Answer
On Writing
Which Stephen King nonfiction book about writing was published in 2000? The answer is On Writing.
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft combines memoir with practical advice about developing as a writer. Originally published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 2000, it was King's first book released after the 1999 road accident in which he was struck by a van while walking in Maine.
The book is divided into five sections: “C.V.”, “What Writing Is”, “Toolbox”, “On Writing”, and “On Living: A Postscript”. King discusses his childhood, early writing, addiction and recovery, grammar, revision, discipline, and the habits he believes support good work. The final section connects his physical recovery with his return to writing.
Despite its autobiographical material, King described the book as a curriculum vitae rather than a conventional autobiography. It is also easy to confuse On Writing with Secret Windows, another King collection concerned with writing that was published in 2000. On Writing later received expanded 10th- and 20th-anniversary editions and won the 2001 Locus Award for Best Nonfiction.
