Stephen King is one of the most successful writers in the world. In 1975, he published a book called Carrie. Carrie is about a young girl who goes to a dance school where her school friends are unfriendly to her. She decides to hurt them and they die in frightening ways. When Carrie was published, it did not have the name of the writer or even the word “Carrie” on the book. It had only a few words about the story. At that time, no one knew about Stephen King, so his name meant nothing. Three years later, Carrie was made into a movie and was a great success.

Stephen King writes horror stories and stories about the supernatural. He usually writes about ordinary people, in ordinary places. Perhaps this is the reason for his success---his readers think what happens to the people in his books could happen to them.
Stephen King’s books have sold over a hundred million copies. He is one of the richest men in America and one of the richest writers in the world .Many people think that writing should be difficult and should take a long time.
