A Talk and Q & A with Stephen King
Stephen King is one of the most prolific and successful writers in the world,. This is a talk he gave at a US university a few years back. With over 350 million books sold worldwide, he probably knows what he's talking about. There are few nuggets to be gleaned here. Well worth your time.
