Stephen King's - Building Bridges

Each Autumn, in conjunction with the conferring of The National Book Awards in Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Young People's Literature, the Board of Directors of the Foundation presents a Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. The recipient is a person who has enriched our literary heritage over a life of service, or a corpus of work. The 2003 recipient of this distinguished award was presented to one of the great voices of American literature—Stephen King.

King accepts the award with grace and wit. His acceptance speech is filled with loving thanks to his wife Tabitha and with a passionate appreciation of his craft. King reflects on bridging the gap between literary and popular writers as well as staying true to his work and to himself over the many years. He concludes his speech by saluting all the nominees and with his sincerest hope that "you'll find something to read that will fill you up as this evening has filled me up."

100% of publisher and author profits from Building Bridges will be donated to the National Book Foundation.

Bag of Bones - Stephen King's Best Seller

When bestselling crime writer Mike Noonan’s wife dies, he suffers from writer’s block.

Until he is drawn from Derry to his lakeside retreat, Sara Laughs - a house once inhabited by a famous singer. It’s a community run by rich, tyrannical, wheelchair-bound Devore and his terrifying, skeletal female bookkeeper. Devore is hell-bent on getting custody of his grandchild.

Three year old Kyra and her young mother, Mattie, turn to Mike for help - and Mike, besotted by Mattie, is powerless to resist. But there are others at Sara Laughs determined to prevent Mike’s success - and Kyra can feel them too....

Bastard on the Couch/Bitch in the House

Bitch in the House - Despite more power and choices than ever before, women are still angry -- that's not necessarily a bad thing, as anger is what continues to open the door for change. In this collection, 15 women speak boldly and passionately about choices they've made -- about sex, children, love and work -- and explore what's working and what is not. Their essays -- always provocative, honest, witty and wise -- are the culmination of the lessons of the past two decades, the ‘me' years and the therapy years, the years that have taught women to express themselves and acknowledge their needs. As celebratory as they are critical, these brilliant essays reflect the truth about life.

  What Independence Has Come to Mean to Me: The Pain of Solitude.The Pleasure of Self-Knowledge. -- Vivian Gornick

The Bastard on the Couch - Turns out that The Bitch In the House was only half the story. Daniel Jones, husband of Cathi Hanauer, has rallied the men for the "literary equivalent of The Full Monty," in which a group of thoughtful, passionate and often hilarious men lay it bare when it comes to their wives and girlfriends, their hopes and fears. Many of these husbands and fathers contemplate aspects of their personal lives they've never before revealed -- kicking open the door on their marriages and sex lives, their fathering and domestic conflicts, their most intimate relationships and situations.

Powerful, heartfelt and irreverent, this is a bold, unprecedented glimpse into the glaring truths of modern relationships.

How To Become A Writer

Start Your Lucrative Writing Career Today! You CAN Make Money As A Writer!

Would you like to be your own boss? Would you like to write your own paychecks? Would you enjoy a flexible work schedule and the kind of freedom you'll never find in the "nine to five" workplace?

That's what everyone wants, right? We all long for an opportunity to make good money while maintaining personal autonomy. We want to run the show and to cash the big checks.

That might be what we'd all like to experience, but most of us don't. People struggle every day to make ends meet. People make the soul-crushing morning commute day after day just to punch someone else's clock. The daily grind goes on for years until its time to retire with a gold-plated watch and a long list of regrets. We get stuck. We don't take advantage of opportunities. We waste our skills and spend years doing things we don't enjoy.

There are a few reasons.

First, many of us wrongly believe that there's no credible alternative. They think the traditional workforce is the only way to "make it".

Second, some folks are afraid of branching out on their own because of the oft-reported high risk of failure for new businesses. They don't feel safe as entrepreneurs.

Third, some of us never get around to making a move for a better life. We plan on making changes, but time passes us by as we stay in our regular ruts.

I want to tell you about a way to GET OUT NOW. I know how you can open your own business within a few days and put yourself on the track to some serious earnings with very little risk and next to no cash outlay. The most beautiful thing about this approach is that it's probably already your dream job.
